Matthew 12:10And behold there was a man which had his hand withered.The withered handI. The person to whom the command in our text is addressed.1. TO a man who was hopelessly incapable of obeying. The hand had lost the moisture of life. Christ’s power is displayed on our inability.2. To one who was perfectly willing.II. The person who gave the command. “He said.”III. The command itself. The stretching forth of the hand was-1. An act of faith.2. An act of decision. The Pharisees around him.IV.... read more

Matthew 12:12How much then is a man better than a sheep! The dignity inherent in man’s natureThis is not a question, but an exclamation, and it is so punctuated in the Revised Version.Exclamation rare with our Lord; He can say great things without becoming perturbed. “How much, then, is a man better than a sheep?”1. Our reading of this exclamation is not appreciative till we realize that in it the Son of Man was not propounding a theory, but uncovering an experience. He is hinting here at what... read more

Matthew 12:14The men of Nineveh shall rise in Judgment. The greater than JonasI. To show that sufficient cause in the different circumstances of the two, why the repentant ninevites should be witnesses against the impenitent Jews. Now what account are we to give of this repentance of the Ninevites? At first sight it seems strange that so vast a result should have been wrought by the preaching of a solitary and unknown individual. Jonah had no miraculous credentials to give; but he had himself... read more

Matthew 12:14-21That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet: Isaiah’s description of ChristI.When our Lord knew that the Pharisees were plotting His destruction, it is saw that he withdrew himself: from that place. He did not avenge their malice. He allowed it space to dissipate. Give no place to anger, He continued His works of mercy when He withdrew from the Pharisees … Great multitudes followed Him,” de. By His practical benevolence He would refute their falsehood, not... 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

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:13

13 Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other. Ver. 13. And he stretched it forth ] So would our hold fasts stretch out their hands to the poor, would they but come to Christ, and hear his voice, as this man did. But till then they will as easily part with their blood as with their good. All their strife is, who (like the toad) shall fall asleep with most earth in his paws: as when they die, nothing grieves them... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:14

14 Then the Pharisees went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him. Ver. 14. How they might destroy him ] All envy is bloody. Men wish him out of the world whom they cannot abide; and would rather the sun should be extinguished than their candle obscured. David dared never trust Saul’s protestations, because he knew him to be an envious person. Nero put Traseas to death for no other cause but for that it was not expedient for Nero that so worthy a man as he should live... read more
