Theological / Devotional

Thou hypocrite. Important textual evidence may be cited for the reading “hypocrites.” Jesus included both the ruler of the synagogue and all who agreed with him or felt sympathetic toward him. For the word translated “hypocrite” see on Matthew 7:5 ; 6:2.

Stall. Or, “manger.” In the New Testament the Greek word appears only here and in chapter 2:7, 12, 16 (see on chapter 2:7).
