On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Christ, the sun of righteousness, shall bring us to God, and put us into the way that leads to him. John Baptist, a preacher of righteousness, shall go before Christ to prepare his way. Righteousness is a sure guide both in meeting God and in following him.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

7 show us thy mercy, O L ORD , and grant us thy salvation. The church, in affliction and distress, is here, by direction from God, making her application to God. So ready is God to hear and answer the prayers of his people that by his Spirit in the word, and in the heart, he indites their petitions and puts words into their mouths.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Before him - As his harbinger. He shall fulfil all righteousness, he shall satisfy the righteousness of God, and shall advance righteousness and holiness among men.

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