Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 11:1

Theological / Devotional

An end of commanding. That is, when Jesus finished the instructions to the Twelve, recorded in ch. 10. It should be noted that Matt. 11:1 belongs to the narrative of chs. 9:36 to 10:42, and not to that of ch. 11 (see on Matt. 9:36).

He departed thence. Having sent forth the Twelve (see on Matt. 10:5), Jesus, accompanied by other disciples, set out for another region of Galilee not covered by the Twelve (see DA 360, 488; see on Matt. 9:36; Luke 10:1). It was probably during the course of the third tour that John the Baptist was beheaded, for it was about this time that news of his martyrdom reached Christ (DA 360) and that the disciples of John united their endeavors with those of Christ and His disciples (DA 361).
