Matthew 11:5 The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up… 1. Because it is peculiarly adapted to their capacities. 2. Also to their means. It is not a costly purchase. 3. It is suited to their opportunities, It is not limited to time or place, but is a thing of the heart, and can be professed consistently with daily toil.The gospel is glad tidings to the poor. 1. It elevates in rank. 2. It promotes the terrestrial happiness. 3. It lights up the hope of immortality. (H. Stowell, M. A.) Parallel Verses KJV: The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them. |
