Matthew 21:46

Verse 46. No Barnes text on this verse. {k} "took him for a prophet" Lu 7:16; Joh 7:40 REMARKS ON MATTHEW CHAPTER 21 (1.) Jesus is omniscient, and sees and knows all things, ver. 2. (2.) It is our duty to obey the Lord Jesus, and to do it at once, ver. 3. When he commands, there should be no delay, What he orders is right; and we should not hesitate or deliberate about it. (3.) Especially is this the case where he is to be honoured, as he was on this occasion, vets. 7, 8. If it was for our interest or honour only that we obeyed him, it would be of less consequence. But our obedience will honour him; and we should seek that honour by any sacrifice or self-denial.
