Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 21:45-46

"And when the chief priests and the Pharisees heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them. And when they sought to lay hold on him, they feared the multitudes, because they took him for a prophet." — Matthew 21:45-46 (ASV)

Unhappy people, to reject him who alone could bless them, and yet to stand in fear of him whom they tried to despise! Let it not be so with any of us, but may Jesus become our Teacher, and our Friend, and our Saviour forever, by his abounding grace! Amen.
