John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:36

Verse 36 36.He was moved with compassion towards them Hence we infer, first, how great was the indolence of the priests, who, though they were scattered over the whole country, in order to enlighten the people with heavenly doctrine, were slow-bellies, (Titus 1:12.) True, they boasted that they were superintendents of the people; and the number of those who gloried in that title was not small. Yet not one of them does Christ own to be a pastor. A similar confusion may now be observed in Popery,... read more

Verse 37 37.The harvest is indeed abundant By this metaphor he intimates, that many of the people are ripe for receiving the gospel. Though the greater number afterwards rejected basely and with vile ingratitude the salvation offered to them, yet the limited number of the elect, who were mixed with unbelievers, is compared to an abundant harvest, because God values a small band of his own people more highly than the rest of the world. Though there were at that time many who assumed this... read more

Verse 38 38.Pray therefore to the Lord of the harvest As no man will of himself become a sincere and faithful minister of the gospel, and as none discharge in a proper manner the office of teacher but those whom the Lord raises up and endows with the gifts of his Spirit, whenever we observe a scarcity of pastors, we must raise our eyes to him to afford the remedy. There never was greater necessity for offering this prayer than during the fearful desolation of the church which we now see every... read more

4. THE COMPLETENESS OF HIS HEALING POWER . (Cf. Matthew 8:1 , note.) (a) sight ( Matthew 9:27-31 ); (b) speech, though, in this case, the dumbness was the work of an evil spirit ( Matthew 9:32-34 ). Observe also in this section the reference to the effect of his work upon outsiders. read more

Other miracles, I. THE TWO BLIND MEN . 1 . Their cry. The day's work was not over. It had been a wonderful day, crowded with mighty deeds. The Lord was returning from the house of Jairus, his thoughts full, we may well believe, of sympathy with the sorrowing, of holy joy at their deliverance. But this world is a world of sorrow; sorrow in various forms meets us everywhere. Two blind men followed in the crowd. They could not see the gracious face of the Lord, but they had... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:32-34

The demon cast out of the dumb man. The astonishment of the multitudes and their confession. [ The accusation by the Pharisees. ] The whole narrative greatly resembles the cure of the blind and dumb man possessed with a devil ( Matthew 12:22-24 ; Luke 11:14 , Luke 11:15 ), as may be seen from the fact that the following words are common to both passages, the brackets indicating a want of exact correspondence in the original. "They brought to him one possessed with a devil, dumb,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:32-34

Two devils. We have just seen two blind men in agreement. We are now introduced to two devils in diversity. Here is the dumb devil. Here also is the devil muttering blasphemy. I. HERE IS A COMPARISON OF TWO SAD CASES . 1 . The dumb demoniac. (a) He has no voice for prayer. (b) He has no voice for praise. (c) He has no voice for testimony. 2 . The blaspheming Pharisee. (a) Because he did the best works on the best of days. (b) Because... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:33

And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel . In Matthew 12:23 they have advanced a stage further, and suggest that Jesus is Messiah (" the Son of David;" cf. supra , Matthew 12:27 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:34

But the Pharisees said ( vide supra ) . If the verse be genuine here, the thought, of course, is that the only effect of Christ's miracles upon the Pharisees was to drive them to open blasphemy and wanton opposition to the evidence of plain facts, as is brought out at length in Matthew 12:24-32 . He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils ; by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils (Revised Version); which indicates the true order of the words in the Greek. ... read more

Parallel passages: Mark 6:6 ( Luke 13:22 ). And Jesus went about all the cities and ( the , Revised Version) villages . The Revised Version rightly restricts the "all" to the cities ( τὰς πόλεις πάσας καὶ τὰς κώμας ). It would have been impossible to visit all the villages. A village was distinguished from a city by being read more
