Commentary on Matthew 23:1

Theological / Devotional

Then spake Jesus. [Woes Upon Scribe and Pharisee, Matt. 23:1-39=Mark 12:38-40=Luke 20:45-47. Major comment: Matthew. Cf. on Luke 11:39-52.] For comment on the circumstances under which this discourse was given see on chs. 21:23, 28, 33; 22:1, 15, 23, 34, 41. This was probably Tuesday, late in the day. This was Jesus’ last day of teaching in the Temple, and the discourse was His concluding public address. Quite evidently He sought, by His scathing denunciations against the scribes and Pharisees, to break the chains that bound the people to tradition and to those who perpetuated it.
