Then spoke Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,
All Commentaries on Matthew 23:1 Go To Matthew 23
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Then Jesus Jesus thus spoke to the multitude a few days previous to his passion. It is here observable that our Saviour, after he had tried all possible remedies, after he had taught and confirmed his doctrines by innumerable miracles, after he had secretly by his parables reprehended them for their wickedness, but without effect, now publicly upbraids their vices. But before his reprehension of the Pharisees, he instructs the people, lest they should despise the authority of the priesthood. (Salmeron)
