Matthew 11
11:1 And
1
it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of
a
commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in
b
their cities.
(
1) Christ shows by his works that he is the
promised Messiah.
(
a) Of instructing them with precepts.
(
b) The disciples' cities, that is to say, in
Galilee, where many of them were born; (
Acts
2:7).
11:7
2 And as they departed, Jesus began to
say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to
see? A reed shaken with the wind?
(
2) The similarity and the difference between the
ministry of the prophets, the preaching of John, and the full light, of the
gospel, which Christ has brought.
11:11
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a
greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the
c
kingdom of heaven is greater than he.
(
c) In the new state of the Church where the true
glory of God shines: the people are not compared together, but the types of
doctrines, the preaching of John with the law and the prophets: and again, the
most clear preaching of the gospel is compared with John's.
11:13 For all the prophets
and the law
d prophesied until John.
(
d) They prophesied of things to come, which are
now present, and clearly and plainly seen.
11:16 3
But whereunto shall I liken this generation?
e
It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,
(
3) There are none who are more stout and
stubborn enemies of the gospel, than they to whom it ought to be most
acceptable.
(
e) He blames the perverseness of this age, by a
proverb, in that they could be moved neither with rough nor gentle dealing.
11:19
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous,
and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners.
4
But
f wisdom is justified of her
children.
(
4) That which the many refuse, the elect and
chosen embrace.
(
f) Wise men acknowledge the wisdom of the gospel
when they receive it.
11:20 5
Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done,
because they repented not:
(
5) The proud reject the gospel offered to them
(to their great hurt and pain) which leads to the salvation of the simple.
11:25
At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and
earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast
g
revealed them unto babes.
(
g) Through the ministry of Christ, who alone
shows the truth of all things pertaining to God.
11:26 h
Even so, Father: for so it seemed
i good
in thy sight.
(
h) This word shows that he contents himself in
his Father's council.
(
i) God's will is the only rule of
righteousness.
11:27 6 All
things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the
Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and [he] to whomsoever
the Son will reveal [him].
(
6) There is no true knowledge of God, nor
quietness of mind, but only in Christ alone.
11:30
For my yoke [is]
k easy, and my burden
is light.
(
k) May easily be carried. For his commandments
are not grievous, for all who are born of God overcome the world; (
1 John
5:4).
