Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:1-19

49. Messengers from John the Baptist (Matthew 11:1-19; Luke 7:18-35)Shut up in prison, John the Baptist received only irregular and possibly inaccurate reports of Jesus’ ministry. These reports must have caused him to wonder whether Jesus really was the Messiah he foretold. Jesus sent back the message that he was carrying out a ministry of relief to the oppressed, which was the sort of ministry foretold of the Messiah in the Old Testament (Matthew 11:1-5; cf. Isaiah 35:5-6; Isaiah 61:1). Many... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 11:1

Matthew 11:1. Had made an end of commanding— Had finished his instructions to, &c. Heylin. In their cities—means "in the other cities of the Jews;" for the pronoun is often put without having a noun going before, to which it refers. Compare Luke 4:15; Luke 5:17.: or else, by the cities here mentioned, we may understand those cities of Galilee, of which the apostles were; see Acts 2:7. The attentive reader will observe, that the chapters are again here very ill divided, as this verseshould... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:1

1. And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciple—rather, "the twelve disciples," he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities—This was scarcely a fourth circuit—if we may judge from the less formal way in which it was expressed—but, perhaps, a set of visits paid to certain places, either not reached at all before, or too rapidly passed through, in order to fill up the time till the return of the Twelve. As to their labors, nothing is said of them... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 11:1

4. Jesus’ continuation of His work 11:1 (cf. Mark 6:12-13; Luke 9:6)Here is another of Matthew’s formulas that ended a discourse (cf. Matthew 7:28-29; Matthew 13:53; Matthew 19:1; Matthew 26:1). Matthew had no concern for recording what happened when the Twelve went out having received Jesus’ instructions. He passed over their ministry in silence and resumed narration of Jesus’ ministry."The motif that dominates Matthew’s story throughout Matthew 4:17 to Matthew 11:1 is Jesus’ ministry to... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:1-30

The Disciples of the Baptist1. Tours of Jesus after dismissing His apostles. The apostles started on their mission about five weeks before the second Passover of the ministry (28 a.d.) and were away about a month. Jesus spent the interval partly in Galilee and partly in Jerusalem, whither he went to keep the Feast of Purim at the beginning of March (John 5:1). He rejoined the Twelve shortly before the Passover (John 6:4), and immediately afterwards fed the five thousand (Mark 6:30; Luke 9:10).... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 11:1

XI.(1) He departed thence—i.e., from the place from which He had sent forth the Twelve. Where this was St. Matthew does not tell us, but Matthew 9:36 makes it probable that it was not in Capernaum nor any other city, but from some spot in the open country where He had rested with them. Their return is narrated, or at least implied, in Matthew 11:25, and hence we must infer that the messengers of the Baptist arrived while He was carrying on His work without them. Their cities might seem... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 11:1-30

Impatience Matthew 11:3 I. It was not by want of faith that the Baptist erred, but by Impatience, which is a different thing, except in so far as it may be said to imply distrust in the Divine wisdom. It is impatience when we would go faster than God, when we would force His hand either to destroy what is evil or to advance what is good, when we complain that He does nothing and hide3 Himself, because He does not ripen the grain and reap the harvest directly after seed-time. The cause of it is... read more
