On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And sometimes also it may be of good use to Christians to disclose their peculiar weaknesses and infirmities to one another, where there are great intimacies and friendships, and where they may help each other by their prayers to obtain pardon of their sins and power against them.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Christians are directed to acknowledge their faults one to another, and to pray one for another, and the efficacy of prayer is proved,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

"Let them use oil who can by their prayers obtain recovery for the sick: let those who cannot do this, abstain from using the empty sign" [WHITAKER]. Romish extreme unction is administered to those whose life is despaired of, to heal the soul, whereas James' unction was to heal the body.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

However that be, there is one thing carefully to be observed here, that the saving of the sick is not ascribed to the anointing with oil, but to prayer: The prayer of faith shall save the sick, &c.,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Stablish your hearts - In faith and patience. For the coming of the Lord - To destroy Jerusalem. Is nigh - And so is his last coming to the eye of a believer.

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

This was the whole process of physic in the Christian church, till it was lost through unbelief. That novel invention among the Romanists, extreme unction, practiced not for cure, but where life is despaired of, bears no manner of resemblance to this.
