Verse 47
“These will receive greater condemnation.”
And these will receive greater condemnation because they have abused the trust given to them, and the trust that others have in them (compare Luke 17:1-2). In what way would it be greater?
1). It will be greater than the condemnation of Chorazin and Bethsaida, greater than that of Capernaum (Luke 10:13-15), because they had received greater privileges and had failed to take advantage of them in order to become truly spiritual (compareLuke 12:47; Luke 12:47).
2). It will also be greater than the high estimation that they have of themselves.
3). It will be greater even than their hypocrisy.
