On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Note, It is very natural, and very reasonable, for ministers to expect a livelihood out of their labours. He argues it out of the Jewish law: Say I these things as a man?

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Is this merely a dictate of common reason and according to common usage only? No, it is also consonant to the old law. God had therein ordered that the ox should not be muzzled while he was treading out the corn, nor hindered from eating while he was preparing the corn for man's use, and treading it out of the ear.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Does not God also say, in effect, the same thing? The ox that treadeth out the corn - This was the custom in Judea, and many eastern nations. In several of them it is retained still.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
