Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Matthew 23:34-39.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Matthew 23:35

That upon you may come — The consequence of which will be, that upon you will come the vengeance of all the righteous blood shed on the earth — Zechariah the son of Barachiah — Termed Jehoiada, 2 Chronicles 24:20, where the story is related: Ye slew — Ye make that murder also of your fathers your own, by imitating it: Between the temple — That is, the inner temple, and the altar — Which stood in the outer court. Our Lord seems to refer to this instance, rather than any other, because he was the last of the prophets on record that were slain by the Jews for reproving their wickedness: and because God's requiring this blood as well as that of Abel, is particularly taken notice of in Scripture.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Matthew 23:35

(11) That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of (y) Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

(11) The punishment of those who persecute the gospel, under the pretence of zeal.

(y) Of Joiada, who was also called Barach-jah, that is, blessed of the Lord.
