Mateus 12

Mateus 12

Clarke - “The Jews were so superstitious, concerning the observance of the Sabbath, that in their wars with Antiochus Epiphanes, and the Romans, they thought it a crime even to attempt to defend themselves on the Sabbath: when their enemies observed this, they deterred their operations to that day. It was through this, that Pompey was enabled to take Jerusalem.” Matthew 12:3 But He said to them, “Have you not read what David did when he became hungry, he and his companions, GNT Matthew 12:3 ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Οὐκ ἀνέγνωτε τί ἐποίησεν Δαυὶδ ὅτε ἐπείνασεν καὶ οἱ μετ᾽ αὐτοῦ, NLT Matthew 12:3 Jesus said to them, "Haven't you read in the Scriptures what David did when he and his companions were hungry? KJV Matthew 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungred, and they that were with him; ESV Matthew 12:3 He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: NIV Matthew 12:3 He answered, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? ASV Matthew 12:3 But he said unto them, Have ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, and they that were with him; CSB Matthew 12:3 He said to them, "Haven't you read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry-- NKJ Matthew 12:3 But He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him: NRS Matthew 12:3 He said to them, "Have you not read what David did when he and his companions were hungry? YLT Matthew 12:3 And he said to them, 'Did ye not read what David did, when he was hungry, himself and those with him -- Have you not read : Mt 12:5 19:4 21:16 22:31 Mk 12:10,26 Lu 6:3 10:26 what David did when he became hungry: 1Sa 21:3-6 Mk 2:25,26 Matthew 12 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries Parallel Passages: Mark 2:23-28 Luke 6:1-5, Matthew 12:1-8 Mark 2:25+ And He *said to them, “Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry; Luke 6:3+ And Jesus answering them said, “Have you not even read what David did when he was hungry, he and those who were with him, JESUS' COUNTERQUESTION TO HIS "INQUISITORS" Webster says counterquestion is "a question asked in response to another question." Counterquestioning was a frequently used technique in rabbinic debates. Jesus raises it to another level of course (Mt 12:5; Mt 19:4; Mt 21:16, 42; Mt 22:31)! But He said to them - Jesus is the ultimate "apologist," and often addresses His adversaries by asking them a question which is often rhetorical. Have you not read - Stop right there! Can you imagine the hair standing up the back the necks of these self-righteous Pharisees at these first words from Jesus! You can hear them mumbling to themselves "How dare Him question our knowledge of the Bible. We are the experts in Israel! Doesn't He know who we really are?" Of course He did in fact know who they REALLY WERE! They were consummate religious actors, hypercritical hypocrites, men who were "like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." (Mt 23:27+). J
