Matthew 12:1-12

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:4

4 How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shewbread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Ver. 4. And did eat the shewbread ] The bread of proposition, a as the Greek text hath it; the face bread, as the Septuagint call it; or that which was daily set before the Lord, to remind him, as it were, of the twelve tribes by those twelve loaves; and to teach us to labour every day in the week (and not on the Sabbath only)... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:5

5 Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the sabbath, and are blameless? Ver. 5. Profane the Sabbath ] As ye count profaning of it: or they profane it by divine dispensation, while they do servile works in slaying sacrifices, and other things tending to the service of God, such as is now the ringing of the sermon bell among us, as among the Protestants in France the letting off of a harquebus a or pistol, whereby they congregate. a The... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:6

6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one greater than the temple. Ver. 6. But I say unto you ] q.d. Whereas you will here object, that that was done in the temple; I tell you I am greater than the temple: for in me the Godhead dwelleth bodily, Colossians 1:19 ; as in the temple was the ark, where the glory of God appeared, so that it filled the temple sometimes. Take notice here, by the way, how good it is to have some grave and godly man to be a beholder and judge of our actions, to... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:7

7 But if ye had known what this meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not have condemned the guiltless. Ver. 7. But if ye had known ] And it was a foul shame for them not to know. "Who is blind as my servant?" &c., Isaiah 42:19 . Varro justly upbraided the Roman priests, that there were many matters in their own rites and religions that they understand not. a What kind of men they were, Cicero (2, de Finib. ) gives us to know in these words of his, Ut maiores nostri... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:8

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day. Ver. 8. The Son of man is Lord of the Sabbath ] q.d. Say they were not innocent, yet have you no cause to condemn them for Sabbath breach; since I am Lord of the Sabbath, and may do with mine own as to me seems best. True it is that Christ hates sin by nature, not by precept only; and therefore cannot dispense with the breach of his own laws, those that be moral in themselves, such as are all the ten, but the fourth. The fourth... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:9

9 And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue: Ver. 9. He went into their synagogue ] These were chapels of ease to the temple, of ancient use, Acts 15:21 , and Divine authority, Psalms 74:8 . This here is called the Pharisees’ synagogue, because they did Dominari in concionibus, lead in the gatherings, Romans 2:19-20 , and are for their skill called princes,1 Corinthians 2:8; 1 Corinthians 2:8 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:10

10 And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him. Ver. 10. Which had his hand withered ] So have all covetous caitiffs, who may well be said, amidst all their hoards, to have no current coin, no quick silver. They sit abrood upon what they have got, as Euclio in the Comedian: and when, by laying out their money, they might "lay hold on eternal life," they will not he drawn to it. But... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:11

11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? Ver. 11. What man shall there be, &c. ] If a sheep slipped into a slough must be relieved, how much more Christ’s reasonable sheep, all which bear golden fleeces, and everything about whom is good either ad esum, for eating, or ad usum, for use? read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:12

12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. Ver. 12. It is lawful to do well ] Nay, it is needful, since not to do well is to do ill, and not to save a life, or a soul, is to destroy it, Mark 3:4 . Not to do justice is injustice, and not to show mercy is no better than cruelty, non faciendo nocens, sed patiendo fuit. Aul. de Claud. read more
