Commentary on Matthew 23:32

Theological / Devotional

Fill ye up. The “ye” is emphatic in the Greek. The cup of guilt of the Jewish nation was nearly full, and the deeds of the men of Christ’s generation, particularly their rejection of Christ as the Messiah (see on John 19:15), would fill that cup full to overflowing (see Vol. IV, pp. 32, 33). As the guilt of Babylon reached the limits of divine forbearance on the night of Belshazzar’s feast, so that of Israel as a nation passed the bounds of divine grace in the rejection and crucifixion of Jesus.
