Matthew 9:36
_ _ Matthew 9:36-38. Jesus compassionating the multitudes, asks prayer for help.
_ _ He had now returned from His preaching and healing circuit, and the result, as at the close of the first one, was the gathering of a vast and motley multitude around Him. After a whole night spent in prayer, He had called His more immediate disciples, and from them had solemnly chosen the twelve; then, coming down from the mountain, on which this was transacted, to the multitudes that waited for Him below, He had addressed to them — as we take it — that discourse which bears so strong a resemblance to the Sermon on the Mount that many critics take it to be the same. (See on Luke 6:12-49; and see on Matthew 5:1-48, Introductory Remarks). Soon after this, it should seem, the multitudes still hanging on Him, Jesus is touched with their wretched and helpless condition, and acts as is now to be described.
_ _ But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted — This reading, however, has hardly any authority at all. The true reading doubtless is, “were harassed.”
_ _ and were scattered abroad — rather, “lying about,” “abandoned,” or “neglected.”
_ _ as sheep, having no shepherd — their pitiable condition as wearied under bodily fatigue, a vast disorganized mass, being but a faint picture of their wretchedness as the victims of pharisaic guidance; their souls uncared for, yet drawn after and hanging upon Him. This moved the Redeemer’s compassion. |
Matthew 9:36
Because they were faint — In soul rather than in body. As sheep having no shepherd — And yet they had many teachers; they had scribes in every city. But they had none who cared for their souls, and none that were able, if they had been willing, to have wrought any deliverance. They had no pastors after God's own heart. |
Matthew 9:36
(8) But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
(8) Although the ordinary pastors cease, yet Christ has not cast off the care of his Church. |
