マタイの福音書 11:13-21 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:18

For John came neither eating ( Matthew 3:4 ) nor drinking ( Luke 1:15 ), and they say, He hath a devil ; i.e. he is possessed of strange and melancholy fancies (see Bishop Westcott on John 7:20 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:19

The Son of man ( Matthew 8:20 , note) came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold ( ἰδού , simply demonstrative, as in the LXX . of 1 Samuel 24:12 ; 2 Samuel 24:22 ) a man gluttonous ( a gluttonous man , Revised Version, for the Greek, ἄνθρωπος φάγος , merely reproduced the original Semitic order), and a wine-bibber, a friend of publicans and sinners ( Matthew 9:10 , note). A f riend. The idea of affection, which through common use of the words has... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:19

The justification of wisdom. John's peculiarity was no oddity; it was the power arranged for him in the Divine wisdom. The peculiarity of Jesus was no eccentricity; it was the expression of that Divine Spirit of wisdom which dwelt in him. Men may criticize the methods of John and Jesus; the story of the ages fully justifies the wisdom of those methods. I. WISDOM USES VARIOUS AGENCIES . "The spiritual unfoldings of wisdom in the religions world are manifold." John moves you by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:20

In Matthew only. It seems to be a kind of introduction, like verse 7 a , perhaps marking verses 20-24 as a fresh section in the discourses. It serves more particularly as an explanation why our Lord especially mentioned these cities. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works ( Matthew 7:22 , note) were done, because they repented not . "Quilibet auditor Nov. Test. est nut multo beetler (verse 11) ant multo miserior antiquis" (Bengel). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 11:20-24

Woe on those who reject him. The parallel passage, Luke 10:12-15 , comes almost at the close of the commission to the seventy. It is represented in the commission reported by St. Matthew by Matthew 10:15 alone, which is almost verbally identical with Matthew 10:24 . It is possible that St. Matthew or the author of the source used by him did not care to interrupt the subject of Matthew 10:1-42 . by inserting more of these verses there, even though that place more nearly represented... read more

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 11:21

Woe unto thee, Chorazin . The modern Kerazeh , two miles from the northwest bank of the sea of Galilee. Among its ruins are the remains of a synagogue. The corn of both it and Kephar Ahim (probably Capernaum)was so excellent as to make R. Jose say that, had they been nearer Jerusalem, it would have been used for the temple offerings . Woe unto thee, Bethsaida . Schurer (I. Matthew 2:14 ; compare, however, II . 1:136) thinks that this is probably not identical with the large... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:13

All the prophets ... - It is meant by this verse that John introduced a new dispensation; and that the old one, under which the prophets and the law of Moses were the guide, was closed when he preached that the kingdom of heaven was at hand. By the “law” is meant here the five books of Moses; by the prophets, the remainder of the books of the Old Testament. read more
