Matthew 11:20 - Exposition

In Matthew only. It seems to be a kind of introduction, like verse 7 a , perhaps marking verses 20-24 as a fresh section in the discourses. It serves more particularly as an explanation why our Lord especially mentioned these cities. Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works ( Matthew 7:22 , note) were done, because they repented not . "Quilibet auditor Nov. Test. est nut multo beetler (verse 11) ant multo miserior antiquis" (Bengel).
