Matthew 12:21

And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:21 Go To Matthew 12

Hilary of Poitiers

AD 368
The Pharisees are moved with jealousy at what had been done; because beholding the outward body of a man, they did not recognize the God in His works; “The Pharisees sent out and sought counsel against him, how they ought destroy him.”. And He knowing their plots withdrew, that He might be far from the counsels of the evil hearted, as it follows, “Jesus knowing it departed thence.”. On those whom He healed He enjoined silence, whence it follows, “And he charged them that they should not make him known.” For his restored health was awitness to each man. And by commanding them to hold their peace, He avoids all ostentation of Himself, and at the same time notwithstanding affords aknowledge of Himself in that very admonition to hold their peace; for the observance of silence proceeds from that very thing which is to be kept silent. Or, “Until he shalt send forth judgment to victory,” that is, Until He shall take away the power of death, and bring in judgment and the return of His splendour.
