John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:20

Then began he to upbraid the cities ,.... When he had sent forth his disciples to preach, and had been in these several cities hereafter mentioned himself, and had taught and preached in them, and confirmed his doctrine by many wonderful works; when he had observed how ill they had used both John and himself, representing the one as having a devil, and the other as a licentious person; when they could not be pleased with the ministry of the one, nor of the other, he very seasonably and... read more

Woe unto thee, Chorazin! .... Though many of Christ's mighty works were done in this place, yet mention is made of it no where else, but here; whether it was a single city, or a country, is not easy to determine: the word חורשין , "Chorasin", signifying "woody places", Dr. Lightfoot F12 Chorogr. Cent. in Matth. p. 84. Vol. 2. conjectures it might include Cana, in which Christ wrought his first miracle, and a small adjacent country, situated in a wood, and be so called from thence;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:13

All the prophets and the law prophesied until John - I believe προεφητευσαν means here, they taught, or continued to instruct. They were the instructers concerning the Christ who was to come, till John came and showed that all the predictions of the one, and the types and ceremonies of the other were now about to be fully and finally accomplished; for Christ was now revealed. The word is taken in this sense, Matthew 7:22 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:14

This is Elias, which was for to come - This should always be written Elijah, that as strict a conformity as possible might be kept up between the names in the Old Testament and the New. The Prophet Malachi, who predicted the coming of the Baptist in the spirit and power of Elijah, gave the three following distinct characteristics of him. First, That he should be the forerunner and messenger of the Messiah: Behold I send my messenger before me, Malachi 3:1 . Secondly, That he should appear... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:15

He that hath ears to hear, let him hear - As if our Lord had said, These things are so clear and manifest that a man has only to hear them to be convinced and fully satisfied of their truth. But neither the Jews of that time nor of the succeeding times to the present day, have heard or considered, these things. When spoken to on these subjects, their common custom is to stop their ears, spit out, and blaspheme; this shows not only a bad, but a ruined cause. They are deeply and willfully... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:16

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? - That is, the Jewish people - την γενεαν ταυτην , this race: and so the word γενεα is often to be understood in the evangelists. In the markets - Or, places of concourse, αγοραις , from αγειρω , I gather together; not a market-place only, but any place of public resort: probably meaning here, places of public amusement. Calling unto their fellows - Or, companions. Instead of εταιροις , companions, many of the best MSS. have ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:17

We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced - We have begun the music, which should have been followed by the dance, but ye have not attended to it. We have mourned - and ye have not lamented - Ye have not smote the breast: ουκ εκοψασθε , from κοπτομαι , to strike, or beat the breasts with the hands, particularly in lamentation. So used, Nahum 2:7 ; Luke 18:13 ; Luke 23:48 , and by the best Greek and Roman writers. There is an allusion here to those funeral lamentations... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:18

For John came neither eating nor drinking - Leading a very austere and mortified life: and yet, he did not receive him. A sinner will not be persuaded that what he has no mind to imitate can come from God. There are some who will rather blame holiness itself, than esteem it in those whom they do not like. He hath a devil - He is a vile hypocrite, influenced by a demon to deceive and destroy the simple. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:19

The Son of man came eating and drinking - That is, went wheresoever he was invited to eat a morsel of bread, and observed no rigid fasts: how could he, who had no corrupt appetites to mortify or subdue? They say, Behold a man gluttonous, etc. - Whatever measures the followers of God may take, they will not escape the censure of the world: the best way is not to be concerned at them. Iniquity, being always ready to oppose and contradict the Divine conduct, often contradicts and exposes... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:20

Then began he to upbraid the cities - The more God has done to draw men unto himself, the less excusable are they if they continue in iniquity. If our blessed Lord had not done every thing that was necessary for the salvation of these people, he could not have reproached them for their impenitence. read more
