And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS JESUS SAT AT MEAT IN THE HOUSE. The modesty of our Evangelist signally appears here. Luke says (Luke 5:29) that "Levi made Him a great f... [ Continue Reading ]
And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? AND WHEN THE PHARISEES ["AND SCRIBES," ADD MARK AND LUKE], SAW IT, THEY ["MURMURED" OR 'MUTTERED,' SAYS LUKE ( ), AND] SAID UNTO HIS DISCIPLES - not venturing to put their question to...

But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.

But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. BUT GO YE AND LEARN WHAT THAT MEANETH ( ), I WILL HAVE MERCY, AND NOT SACRIFICE - that is the one rather than the other. "Sacrifice," the chief part of th... [ Continue Reading ]
_THEN CAME TO HIM THE DISCIPLES OF JOHN, SAYING, WHY DO WE AND THE PHARISEES FAST OFT, BUT THY DISCIPLES FAST_ _ NOT?_ No JFB commentary on these verses.... [ Continue Reading ]
While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live. For the exposition, see the notes at Mark 5:21. Verses 27-34: These two miracles are recorded by Matthew al... [ Continue Reading ]
And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou Son of David, have mercy on us. AND WHEN JESUS DEPARTED THENCE, TWO BLIND MEN FOLLOWED HIM - hearing, doubtless, as in a later case is expressed, "that Jesus passed by" (); CRYING, AND SAYING, THOU SON OF DAVID...

And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord. AND WHEN HE WAS COME INTO THE HOUSE. To try their faith and patience, He seems to have made them no AND WHEN HE WAS COME INTO THE HOUSE.... [ Continue Reading ]
Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you. THEN TOUCHED HE THEIR EYES, SAYING, ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU - not, Receive a cure proportioned to your faith, but, Receive this cure as granted to your faith. Thus would they carry about with them, in thei... [ Continue Reading ]
And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it. AND THEIR EYES WERE OPENED: AND JESUS STRAITLY CHARGED THEM. The expression is very strong enebrimeesato (G1690) autois (G846), denoting great earnestness.... [ Continue Reading ]

As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil. AS THEY WENT OUT, BEHOLD, THEY BROUGHT TO HIM A DUMB MAN POSSESSED WITH A DEVIL, [ daimonizomenon (G1139)] - 'demonized.' The deaf-mute condition was not natural; it was the effect of the demon possession.... [ Continue Reading ]
And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel. AND WHEN THE DEVIL (OR 'DEMON') WAS CAST OUT, THE DUMB SPAKE. The particulars in this case are not given; the object being simply to record the instantaneous restoration of the... [ Continue Reading ]
But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils. BUT THE PHARISEES SAID, HE CASTETH OUT DEVELS THROUGH THE PRINCE OF THE DEVILS - `the demons through the prince of the demons.' This seems to be the first muttering of a theory of such miracles which soon became a fi... [ Continue Reading ]

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; THEN SAITH HE UNTO HIS DISCIPLES, THE HARVEST TRULY IS PLENTEOUS. His eye doubtless rested immediately on the Jewish field, but this he saw widening into the vast field of "the world" (), teeming with so... [ Continue Reading ]
Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. PRAY YE THEREFORE THE LORD OF THE HARVEST - the great Lord and Proprietor of all.
