O generation of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.
All Commentaries on Matthew 12:34 Go To Matthew 12
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
As the Pharisees were ever boasting of, and glorying in their ancestry, Christ here shews, that they have not much reason to boast, since their ancestors were but vipers. (St. Chrysostom)
