Chapter summary
Sabbath controversies — the grain fields, the withered hand. Jesus as Lord of the Sabbath. The Beelzebub accusation answered with the kingdom-divided argument and the blasphemy-of-the-Spirit warning. The sign of Jonah promised. Jesus' true family — whosoever does the Father's will is brother, sister, and mother.
Drafted from Matthew Henry, Calvin, Gill, Clarke, JFB, and Barnes.
