We will now refer to those passages which specially belong to the New Dispensation. Old Testament persons and things which are spoken of as holy in the Old Dispensation, and thus mentioned in the New, are not included in the following list, nor are Angels, Prophets, and the Scriptures, because though the word Holy is not applied to them in the Old Testament, they were already holy in Old Testament times. Nor is John the Baptist, (called holy, Mark 6:20) included in the list specially belonging to the New dispensation.
One example only is given of each.

" 17:19-Christ and His people.
