John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:21

21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust. Ver. 21. Shall the Gentiles trust ] This trust is here put for the whole service of God, it being the least, and yet the best we can render to him. And the more we know of his name, the more we shall trust in him, Psalms 9:10 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:22

22 Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw. Ver. 22. One possessed with a devil, blind and dumb ] A heavy case, and yet that may be any man’s case. a Cuivis potest contingere, quod cuiquam potest. Every one that seeth another stricken, and himself spared, is to keep a passover for himself; and to say, "Thou hast punished me less than my sins have merited,"Ezra 9:13; Ezra 9:13 . The devil... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:23

23 And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? Ver. 23. And all the people were amazed ] Admiration bred philosophy, saith the heathen. It bred superstition, saith the Scripture, when the world went wondering after the beast. a We may say, too, that it bred piety in this people, and still we see the word never works kindly, till men hear and admire it. Let others censure with the Pharisees; let us wonder with the multitude. a Admiratio peperit... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:24

24 But when the Pharisees heard it , they said, This fellow doth not cast out devils, but by Beelzebub the prince of the devils. Ver. 24. This fellow doth not cast out devils, &c. ] The devil that was cast out of the demoniac’s body seems to have gotten into these men’s hearts. But he was not his master crafts: for what a senseless slander hear we? He should have acted it a little better, to have been believed. Tenue mendacium pellucet, saith Tacitus. This was such a lie as might be... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:25

25 And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: Ver. 25. And Jesus knew their thoughts ] That they blasphemed in this sort, out of the devilish venom of their hearts fully possessed by Satan, who drew them into this unpardonable sin, which himself every day, nay, every moment, committeth. As one that had fallen into that sin, wished that his wife and children... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:26

26 And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? Ver. 26. He is divided against himself ] But so he is not. There is a marvellous accordance even between evil spirits. Squamae Leviathan ira cohaerent, ut earum opere textili densato quasi loricatus incedat Satan et cataphractus, as Luther elegantly and truly phraseth it. The devils in the possessed person were many, yet they say, "My name" (not our name) "is Legion." Though many, they speak and... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:27

27 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. Ver. 27. By whom do your children, &c. ] That is, your countrymen. Not the disciples (as Augustine, Civ. Dei, and other ancients would have it), but the Jewish exorcists, of whom see Mark 9:38 ; Acts 19:13 . As if our Saviour should have said, Unless that be a blemish in me that you hold to be a beauty in others, why should you condemn me for a conjurer? Why doth your... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:28

28 But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you. Ver. 28. Then the kingdom of God is come unto you ] A certain sign of the setting up whereof among you, is this casting out of devils "by the Spirit of God;" or as Luke hath it, "by the finger of God;" for the Holy Ghost is the essential power of the Father and the Son. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:29

29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man’s house, and spoil his goods, except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house. Ver. 29. A strong man’s house, &c. ] The devil is strong, but overpowered by Christ. He hath forcibly delivered us from the power of darkness, snatched us out of the Devil’s danger; ερρυσατο, Col 1:13 so that, though he shake his chain at us, he cannot fasten his fangs in us. Stronger is he that is in the saints, than he that is in the... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 12:30

30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Ver. 30. He that is not with me, is against me ] "But the devil is not with me," saith Christ, "for all I do or suffer is to destroy his works." Let this sentence also be noted against neutals and Nicodemites, who stand halting betweem two, and will be sure to hold themselves on the warm side of the hedge howsoever. Such were of old the Samaritans, Nazarites, Ebionites, and those Corinthians that... read more
