Matthew 23 Images and
Notes
Brief Summary: In the foregoing chapter, we had our
Saviour's discourses with the scribes and Pharisees; here we
have his discourse concerning them, or rather against them. I.
He allows their office (v. 2, v. 3). II. He warns his disciples
not to imitate their hypocrisy and pride (v. 4-12). III. He
exhibits a charge against them for divers high crimes and
misdemeanors, corrupting the law, opposing the gospel, and
treacherous dealing both with God and man; and to each article
he prefixes a woe (v. 13-33). IV. He passes sentence upon
Jerusalem, and foretels the ruin of the city and temple,
especially for the sin of persecution (v. 34-39). MHC
