Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:4

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and tell John the things which ye hear and see.The King James Version has "Go and show John AGAIN ..." The word "again" does not occur in later versions, but the thought is surely included of RE-TEACHING John who was the first publicly to recognize and identify the Messiah. This is a constant and unvarying need in all ages for the church to keep stressing over and over again the great facts of the gospel. The Great Commission stresses teaching the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:5

The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.The miracles Jesus mentioned to John's messengers were precisely those which Isaiah identified with the advent of the Messiah (Isaiah 35:5-6; 61:1). This was Christ's unique way of letting John know that he was indeed the Christ without phrasing it in terms that would have secular overtones. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:6

And blessed is he, whosoever shall find no occasion of stumbling in me.This earnest plea from Jesus' very heart and soul is a moving and powerful request that John would not take offense at our Lord's inability openly to declare himself at that time, nor at differences such as marked their attitudes toward fasting. The absence of any further inquiries from John shows that John understood. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:7

And as these went on their way, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to behold? a reed shaken with the wind?Jesus immediately launched into a dissertation on John and his ministry that revealed the very highest estimate of both. His praise of John the Baptist is unequaled by his praise of any other. "The reed shaken in the wind" suggested something of little importance, trivial, a minor curiosity. John was not that. It also suggests a man... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:8

But what went ye out to see? a man clothed in soft raiment? Behold, they that wear soft raiment are in king's houses.The comparison suggested a sycophant; and John certainly was not that. His rough garment of camel's hair put him in a different world. The implication would give greater strength to John and would tactfully remind him that he was no fawning flatterer of Herod who would change his witness of Christ in order to curry favor. The aptness of this reference to "soft raiment" is... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:9

But wherefore went ye out? to see a prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.John was the last and greatest of the prophets, foretelling: (1) the near approach of the kingdom of God, (2) that Jesus would take away the sin of the world, and (3) that the Jewish nation would be destroyed for rejecting him (see under Matthew 3:10). He was more than a prophet in that he did not merely foretell the Messiah but presented him to the people and identified him. He was greatest also in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 11:10

This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare the way before thee.Christ's selection of this prophecy from Malachi 3:1 and application of it to John proves two things: (1) that John the Baptist is that first messenger mentioned in that passage, and (2) that Jesus Christ is the Lord, "the messenger of the covenant" who even then had suddenly come to his temple. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 11:1

Matthew 11:1. Had made an end of commanding— Had finished his instructions to, &c. Heylin. In their cities—means "in the other cities of the Jews;" for the pronoun is often put without having a noun going before, to which it refers. Compare Luke 4:15; Luke 5:17.: or else, by the cities here mentioned, we may understand those cities of Galilee, of which the apostles were; see Acts 2:7. The attentive reader will observe, that the chapters are again here very ill divided, as this verseshould... read more

Matthew 11:2. Now when John had heard, &c.— Beausobre and Lenfant, with some others, think, that John was so discouraged by his own long imprisonment, that he began himself to doubt whether Jesus was himself the Messiah; and agreeably to this he supposes, that when our Lord says, happy is he that is not offended in me, he meant it as a caution to John that he should be upon his guard against so dangerous a temptation. But, considering what clear evidence John had before received by a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 11:3

Matthew 11:3. Art thou he that should come— It seems that by their speaking of the Messiah in the phrase he that cometh, or he that is coming, ('Ο ερχομενος, ) the pious Jews in the most lively manner expressed their confident expectation of him, and their eager longing for his appearance, as the greatest, most welcome, and most desirable person that ever did or should come into the world. See Mar 11:9-10 and compare Daniel 7:13; Daniel 7:28. Bishop Pearson justly observes, that this, among... read more
