Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Matthew 12:22-23

DISCOURSE: 1353THE BLIND AND DUMB DΖMONIAC HEALEDMatthew 12:22-23. Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David?IN establishing the Mosaic dispensation, God introduced it with many miracles. It might well be expected therefore that, when he should supersede that dispensation, and establish another in its place, he would confirm... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Matthew 12:30

DISCOURSE: 1354THE NECESSITY OF A DECIDED ADHERENCE TO CHRISTMatthew 12:30. He that is not with me, is against me; and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.TO inculcate a devotedness of heart to God, and to insist upon it as indispensably necessary to salvation, is generally deemed harsh and uncharitable: and certainly, if it were not required in Scripture, we should be exceedingly blame-worthy in so alarming and terrifying the minds of men: but we must speak what God has spoken,... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Matthew 12:31

DISCOURSE: 1355THE SIN AGAINST THE HOLY GHOSTMatthew 12:31. I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men.THE sins of men have, in all the ages of the world, been the means and occasions of displaying the Divine goodness. It is through the fall of the first Adam, and the crucifixion of Christ, the second Adam, that we attain the knowledge of God’s mercy, and see how the exercise of it can... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 12:1-50

Shall we turn to the twelfth chapter of the gospel of Matthew?Jesus was not one to follow traditions. He's already pointed out in the Sermon on the Mount, that through their interpretation of the law, they have thoroughly disallowed the law, for the purposes that God intended it. For they were interpreting the law after a physical sense. "Thou shalt not kill," interpreting that as clubbing your enemy to death. But Jesus said, no, really if you have hatred in your heart for your brother, you're... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 12:1-50

Matthew 12:2 . Thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the sabbath- day. The pharisees did not find fault with eating a few ears of barley in their hunger, while others enjoyed their feasts, because it was allowed by the law of Moses, provided they put nought of the fruit in their vessel, or their pouch; but they objected on the ground of the sabbath. Now, the appeal which Jesus made to David’s eating the holy bread, which belonged exclusively to the priests, shows that the... read more
