The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:20-24

The Lord's denunciation of judgment. I. ITS CAUSE . 1 . Knowledge. The Lord's tone assumes a greater severity—a severity which perhaps favours the view that St. Luke gives ( Luke 10:13 ) the true chronological order. The people of Galilee had seen most of the mighty works of Christ. His life had been long before their eyes; they knew him well; they watched him as he walked in their streets, as he healed the sick, or cleansed the leper, or gave sight to the blind. They knew every... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:20-24

A lament over wasted privileges. Jesus is already approaching the sadder stage of his brief ministry; already to the eye of sense it begins to look like a failure. To some it was a failure. The seed had fallen by the wayside, and the birds had carried it away. A similar lament to that of Christ might well be uttered over many regions of favoured Christendom. I. THE GREATNESS OF THE PRIVILEGES . NO places on earth had been more privileged than these Galileean towns. Here Jesus... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:20-30

Jesus rejected by the wise, but owned by babes and the Father. Having illustrated by one or two sayings of our Lord what was his judgment of John and of those who heard John's teaching, Matthew sets alongside of these others regarding the towns which had enjoyed exceptional opportunities of forming an adequate idea of his Person and work. The complaint against these cities was that "they repented not." They were not sinners above other men, as Sodom and Gomorrah had been. But when Jesus came... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:22

But ; πλήν : howbeit (Revised Version). Setting this aside (comp. Bishop Lightfoot, on Philippians 3:16 ); whatever might have been does not matter; this shall be. I say unto yon, It shall be more tolerable for Tyro and Sidon at the day of judgment ( Matthew 10:15 , note) than for you . "Pessimis pejores event et insanabiliores" (Wetstein). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:23

And thou, Capernaum ( Matthew 4:13 , note), which art exalted unto heaven; Shalt thou be exalted unto heaven ? (Revised Version); ΄ὴ ἕως οὐρανοῦ ὑψωθήσῃ ; i.e. Shalt thou be raised high in public estimation, as thou thinkest, who art so proud of thy share in the busy and gay life on the lakeside? Shalt be brought down to hell ; thou shalt go down unto Hades (Revised Version). The change of voice in the two clauses ( ὑψωθήση … καταβήσῃ ) may imply that if... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:25

At that time ; season (Revised Version); ἐν ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ . St. Luke's phrase ("in that very hour," ἐν αὐτῇ τῇ ὥρᾳ ) is more precise, definitely connecting the utterance with the return of the seventy. St. Matthew's refers rather to that stage or period in his ministry (cf. Matthew 12:1 ; Matthew 14:1 ). Jesus answered . Only in Matthew. If we could suppose this to be the original context of the passage, the" answer" would probably refer to some expression of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:25

The revelation to babes. St. Luke associates these words with the return of the seventy from their triumphant mission ( Luke 10:21 ). Therefore we see that our Lord is not thinking only or chiefly of children, but rather of the childlike. To these God has revealed great truths which he has not given to the worldly wise. So, following the context of St. Matthew, we are reminded that the citizens of Capernaum and other towns missed the truth which a handful of fishermen had laid hold of. At... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:25

The Divine reserve. From some the higher truth is hidden; to some the higher truth is revealed. This cannot be explained by what is called the "sovereignty" of God; because we must think of God as acting on good judgment, though the materials of his judgment may be more than we can comprehend, or beyond our power to appreciate aright. Here the difficulty of the Divine reserve is not great. We can easily recognize the wisdom of leaving those who think themselves wise to their fancied wisdom;... read more
