John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:15

15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. Ver. 15. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear ] Let him attentively listen, not with that outward ear only, that gristle that grows upon his head: but let him draw up his heart to his ears, that one sound may pierce both at once. Thus hear, and your souls shall live, Isaiah 4:3 . A heavy ear is a singular judgment, Isaiah 6:10 . The good Hebrews are taxed for their dull hearing, Hebrews 5:11 . Such ears are likely to be forced open by correction,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:16

16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, Ver. 16. But whereunto shall I liken this generation? ] So great was the contumacy and obstinace of this perverse people, the Pharisees especially, that the wisdom of God seems to be lacking for a fit word to utter to them, for their better conviction. And do not some such sit before us to this day, as senseless every whit of what is said to them, as the seats they... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:17

17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. Ver. 17. We have piped unto you, &c. ] It is probable that children in those days were wont to solace themselves with songs in this sort: and thence our Saviour seeks to repress the pride and set forth the sin of his untoward hearers. Fit similes do excellently illustrate: and he is the best preacher, saith Luther, that delivereth himself vernacularly, plainly, trivially: not... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:18

18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. Ver. 18. For John came neither eating, &c. ] So froward men are and gobble up, that no preacher can please them. If he preach plainly, it will seem careless slubbering: if elaborately, curious affectation. And for his life; austere John hath a devil, sociable Christ is a winebibber. And it was the worse, because from scribes and Pharisees, whose word must carry such credit with it, as alone to condemn Christ; and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:19

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. But wisdom is justified of her children. Ver. 19. The Son of man came eating and drinking ] Teaching us thereby, in the use of things indifferent, to do what we can to preserve our good esteem with others, that we may the sooner prevail with them. This was St Paul’s "all things to all men." He turned himself into all shapes and fashions both of speech and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:20

20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Ver. 20. Then began he to upbraid ] Haply, because these cities, drawn by the authority of the Pharisees, made less account of our Saviour’s doctrine or miracles, by them maliciously depraved and disparaged. The blind led the blind, but both fell into the ditch, though their leaders lay undermost. Because they repented not ] There is a heart that cannot repent; that hath lost all... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 11:21

21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. Ver. 21. Woe unto thee, Chorazin ] These littorals, or those that dwell by the sea coast, are noted to be duri, horridi, immanes, omnium denique pessimi, rough, harsh, thievish, peevish people, and as bad as those that are worst. But that which aggravated these men’s sin, and made it out of measure... read more
