Verse Takeaways

A Rebuke for the Crowd

Commentators like John Gill clarify that Jesus' strong words, "O faithless and perverse generation," were likely not directed at his struggling disciples. Instead, the rebuke was aimed at the unbelieving crowd and the mocking Scribes and Pharisees who were delighting in the disciples' failure. This shows Jesus' frustration with the pervasive unbelief of the people, not just his followers' weakness.
