Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:16-24

Christ was going on in the praise of John the Baptist and his ministry, but here stops on a sudden, and turns that to the reproach of those who enjoyed both that, and the ministry of Christ and his apostles too, in vain. As to that generation, we may observe to whom he compares them (Matt. 11:16-19), and as to the particular places he instances in, we may observe with whom he compares them, Matt. 11:20-24. I. As to that generation, the body of the Jewish people at that time. There were many... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:25-30

In these verses we have Christ looking up to heaven, with thanksgiving to his Father for the sovereignty and security of the covenant of redemption; and looking around him upon this earth, with an offer to all the children of men, to whom these presents shall come, of the privileges and benefits of the covenant of grace. I. Christ here returns thanks to God for his favour to those babes who had the mysteries of the gospel revealed to them (Matt. 11:25, 26). Jesus answered and said. It is... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 11:1-30

Matthew 11:1-30 is a chapter in which Jesus is speaking all the time; and, as he speaks to different people and about different things, we hear the accent of his voice vary and change. It will be of the greatest interest to look one by one at the six accents in the voice of Jesus. The Accent Of Confidence ( Matthew 11:1-6 ) 11:1-6 And when Jesus had completed his instructions to the twelve disciples, he left there to go on teaching and to go on making his proclamation in their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:16

But whereunto shall I liken this generation ? The men of that age, the stubborn and perverse Jews; who were pleased with nothing, with no man's ministry, neither with John's, nor with Christ's, but found fault with whatever they heard, or saw done: it is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling to their fellows : that is, the case of such persons may be fitly represented by children in a public market, calling to their companions, to pipe or mourn with them, and who are so... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:17

And saying, we have piped unto you, and ye have not danced ,.... The allusion is to Jewish children, who having seen their parents and friends at their festivals and weddings, some play upon the pipe, and others dance to them, mimicked the same in their diversions; and also having observed, at funerals, the mourning women, making their doleful ditties, and others answering to them, acted the part of these persons, expecting their fellows would make their responses, but did not: hence the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:18

For John came neither eating nor drinking ,.... This and the following verse are an explanation of the foregoing "parable"; and this shows, that John and his disciples are the persons that mourned, of which his austere life was a proof: for when he "came", being sent of God, and appeared as a public preacher, he was "neither eating nor drinking"; not that he did not eat or drink at all, otherwise he could not have lived, and discharged his office: but he ate sparingly, very little; and what... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:19

The son of man came eating and drinking ,.... Meaning himself, who ate and drank as men usually do, lived in the common way of life, was free and sociable, went to feasts, entertainments, and weddings, when he was invited; and was affable, courteous, and friendly in his deportment, to all men; and they say, behold a man gluttonous , a voracious man, an epicurean, one that indulges his appetite to a very great degree, and in a scandalous manner; a winebibber , a common tippler, one... read more

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:21

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

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:22

But I say unto you ,.... What may be depended upon as true, and which shall certainly come to pass, however the inhabitants of these cities might flatter themselves; or in whatsoever light they might look upon their neighbours, the Tyrians and Sidonians; and fancy themselves to be the favourites of heaven, and these as the most execrable of creatures; it shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day off judgment, than for you . Their punishment in another world will be more mild... read more
