Verse 4
4 And when they came to Jesus, they besought him instantly, saying, That he was worthy for whom he should do this:
Ver. 4. That he was worthy ] So they held him: but he held himself unworthy, Luke 7:6 . God in like manner saith that Jerusalem had received double for her sins, Isaiah 40:2 . But Jerusalem herself saith, Our God hath punished us less than our sins, Ezra 9:13 . Too much, saith God; Too little, saith she; and yet how sweetly and beautifully doth this kind of contradiction become both!
