Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Matthew 12:23

_ _ And all the people were amazed, and said, Is not this the son of David? — The form of the interrogative requires this to be rendered, “Is this the Son of David?” And as questions put in this form (in Greek) suppose doubt, and expect rather a negative answer, the meaning is, “Can it possibly be?” — the people thus indicating their secret impression that this must be He; yet saving themselves from the wrath of the ecclesiastics, which a direct assertion of it would have brought upon them. (On a similar question, see on John 4:29; and on the phrase, “Son of David,” see on Matthew 9:27).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 12:22-37.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 12:23

Is not this the son of David — That is, the Messiah.
