Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Fell down and worshipped him - Προσεκυνει αυτω, crouched as a dog before him, with the greatest deference, submission, and anxiety. Have patience with me - Μακροθυμησον επ’ εμοι, be long-minded towards me - give me longer space. The means which a sinner should use to be saved, are, 1. Deep humiliation of heart - he fell down. 2. Fervent prayer. 3. Confidence in the mercy of God - have patience. 4. A firm purpose to devote his soul and body to his Maker - I will pay thee all.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Matthew (1856)

In these verses the Lord Jesus deals with a deeply important subject, the forgiveness of injuries. We live in a wicked world, and it is vain to expect that we can escape ill-treatment, however carefully we may behave. To know how to conduct ourselves when we are ill-treated is of great moment to our souls. In the first place, the Lord Jesus lays it down as a general rule that we ought to forgive others to the uttermost. Peter put the question, “How oft shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Till seven times?”
