On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

They are sometimes ranked with harlots ( Matt. xxi. 32 ); here and elsewhere with sinners, such as were openly vicious, that traded with harlots, known rakes. Some think that the sinners here meant were heathen, and that Christ was now on the other side Jordan, or in Galilee of the Gentiles.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The devil is the citizen of that country; for he is both in city and country. Sinners join themselves to him, hire themselves into his service, to do his work, to be at his beck, and to depend upon him for maintenance and a portion. They that commit sin are the servants of sin, John viii.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

And he joined himself to a citizen of that country - Either the devil or one of his children, the genuine citizens of that country which is far from God. He sent him to feed swine - He employed him in the base drudgery of sin.

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