- Micah 4:4
And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
Commentary on Micah 4:42 voices
“They - The redeemed of the Lord, redeemed from Babylonish captivity, the type of a greater redemption by Christ. Shall sit - That is, they shall enjoy peace, security and plenty. This was more fully made good in the gospel-days.”
John Wesley · Explanatory Notes upon the Old Testament, 1765Evangelical
“Under his vine and under his fig tree - A proverbial expression, indicative of perfect peace, security, and rural comfort. See on Isa 2:1 (note). This verse is an addition to the prophecy as it stands in Isaiah. See Clarke on Mic 4:1 (note).”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Micah 4:5
Though each of the peoples may walk in the name of his god, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
Commentary on Micah 4:51 voice
“For all people well walk, every one in the name of his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord our God - Hitherto unsteadfastness had been the very characteristic sin of Israel. It was , ‘constant only in its inconstancy,’ ever ‘falling away like their forefathers, starting aside like a broken bow’ Psa 78:57. The pagan persevered in their worship, because it was evil or had evil in it, not checking but feeding their passions.”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Mark 9:38–40
John said to Him, “Teacher, we saw someone else driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Commentary on Mark 9:38–402 voices
“(ubi sup.) John, loving the Lord with eminent devotion, thought that He who performed an office to which He had no right was to be excluded from the benefit of it. Wherefore it is said, And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us.”
Bede · Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
“We saw one casting out devils in thy name - It can scarcely be supposed that a man who knew nothing of Christ, or who was only a common exorcist, could be able to work a miracle in Christ’s name; we may therefore safely imagine that this was either one of John the Baptist’s disciples, who, at his master’s command, had believed in Jesus, or one of the seventy, whom Christ had sent out, Luk 10:1-7, who, after he had fulfilled his commission, had retired from accompanying the other disciples; but as he still held fast his faith in Christ, and walked in good conscience, the influence of his Master still continued with him, so that he could cast out demons as well as the other disciples.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
- Luke 9:49
“Master,” said John, “we saw someone driving out demons in Your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not accompany us.”
Commentary on Luke 9:491 voice
“But we ought to consider not so much the worker of the miracles, as the grace which was in him, who, by the power of Christ, performed miracles. But what if there should be both those which be numbered together with the Apostles, and those who are crowned with the grace of Christ; there are many diversities in Christ's gifts.”
Cyril of Alexandria · Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Luke 9:50
“Do not stop him,” Jesus replied, “for whoever is not against you is for you.”
Commentary on Luke 9:502 voices
“But we ought to consider not so much the worker of the miracles, as the grace which was in him, who, by the power of Christ, performed miracles. But what if there should be both those which be numbered together with the Apostles, and those who are crowned with the grace of Christ; there are many diversities in Christ's gifts.”
Cyril of Alexandria · Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
“Now John is not blamed, because he did this from love, but he is taught to know the difference between the strong and the weak. And therefore our Lord though He rewards the stronger, yet does not exclude the weak; as it follows, And Jesus said unto him, Forbid him not, for he that is not against you is for you. True, O Lord. For both Joseph and Nicodemus, through fear Thy secret disciples, when the time came, did not refuse their offices.”
Ambrose of Milan · Catena Aurea by AquinasPatristic
- Acts 17:11
Now the Bereans were more noble-minded than the Thessalonians, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if these teachings were true.
Commentary on Acts 17:112 voices
“These were more ingenuous - Or generous. To be teachable in the things of God is true generosity of soul. The receiving the word with all readiness of mind, and the most accurate search into the truth, are well consistent.”
John Wesley · Explanatory Notes upon the New Testament, 1755Evangelical
“These were more noble - εὐγενέστεροι eugenesteroi. This literally means more noble by birth; descended from more illustrious ancestors. But here the word is used to denote a quality of mind and heart. They were more generous, liberal, and noble in their feelings; more disposed to inquire candidly into the truth of the doctrines advanced by Paul and Silas. It is always proof of a noble, liberal, and ingenuous disposition to be willing to examine into the truth of any doctrine presented. The writer refers here particularly to the Jews. In that - Because.”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- Acts 28:31
Boldly and freely he proclaimed the kingdom of God and taught about the Lord Jesus Christ.
Commentary on Acts 28:312 voices
“Paul did not act like that Diogenes who dressed in rags and lived in a barrel, who amazed many with things in which they had no need whatsoever, yet brought benefit to no one. Paul did nothing of the sort, because he did not turn …”
Theophylact of Ohrid · Commentary on ActsPatristic
“And Luke, who wrote the Acts of the Apostles, brought his history to a close at this point, after stating that Paul spent two whole years at Rome as a prisoner at large and preached the word of God without restraint. Thus after he had made his defense it is said that the apostle was sent again upon the ministry of preaching and that upon coming to the same city a second time he suffered martyrdom. In this imprisonment [Paul] wrote his second epistle to Timothy, in which he mentions his first defense and his impending death.”
Eusebius of Caesarea · Ecclesiastical History 2.22.1-8Patristic
- Romans 14:1
Accept him whose faith is weak, without passing judgment on his opinions.
Commentary on Romans 14:12 voices
“Now him that is weak in faith receive, not in disputes over thoughts. For one believes that he may eat all things; but he who is weak, let him eat vegetables. In the passages above too the Apostle made mention of weakness of faith, where he says of Abraham: When he was nearly a hundred years old, he was not weakened in faith. Concerning that weakness of faith we have set forth, in those places, such things as could occur to us.”
Origen of Alexandria · Commentary on the Epistle to the RomansPatristic
“Him that is weak - The design here is to induce Christians to receive to their fellowship those who had scruples about the propriety of certain things, or that might have special prejudices and feelings as the result of education or former habits of belief. The apostle, therefore, begins by admitting that such an one may be ‘weak,’ that is, not fully established, or not with so clear and enlarged views about Christian liberty others might have. In the faith - In believing.”
Albert Barnes · Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)Evangelical
- 1 Corinthians 10:28–32
But if someone tells you, “This food was offered to idols,” then do not eat it, for the sake of the one who told you and for the sake of conscience—
Commentary on 1 Corinthians 10:28–322 voices
“If the creature is defiled by a mere word, as the apostle teaches, ‘But if any one say, This is offered in sacrifice to idols, you must not touch it,’ much more when it is polluted by the dress, and rites, and pomp of what is offered to the gods.”
Tertullian · De CoronaPatristic
“This is offered in sacrifice unto idols - While they were not apprized of this circumstance they might lawfully eat; but when told that the flesh set before them had been offered to an idol, then they were not to eat, for the sake of his weak conscience who pointed out the circumstance. For the apostle still takes it for granted that even the flesh offered in sacrifice to an idol might be eaten innocently at any private table, as in that case they were no longer in danger of being partakers with devils, as this was no idol festival.”
Adam Clarke · Commentary on the BibleEvangelical
