Matthew 2:17-18

Matthew 2:17-18. Then was fulfilled, &c.— Then, &c.—a cry heard, lamentation, and weeping, and bitter complaint. See, for an explanation of this text, the notes on Jeremiah 31:15. Dr. Doddridge understands this also as an allusion. But the notes above referred to will convince the reader, that this passage may, with strict propriety, be understood as a prophesy of that event to which the sacred historian applies it.
