Matthew 12:50

Verse 50. No Barnes text on this verse. See Barnes on "Mt 12:46" {w} "will of my Father" Mt 7:20; Joh 15:14; Ga 5:6; Heb 2:11; 1 Jn 2:17. REMARKS ON MATTHEW CHAPTER 12 (1.) Our Saviour has taught us the right use of the Sabbath, Mt 12:1-13. His conduct was an explanation of the meaning of the fourth commandment. By his example we may learn what may be done. He himself performed only those works on the Sabbath which were strictly necessary for life, and those which went to benefit the poor, the afflicted, and needy. Whatever work is done on the Sabbath that is not for these ends, must be wrong.
