(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Gorgeously apparelled (en himatismōi endoxōi). In splendid clothing. Here alone in this sense in the N.T.

And live delicately (truphēi). From thruptō to break down, to enervate, an old word for luxurious living. See the verb truphaō in Jam 5:5.

In kings’ courts (en tois basileiois). Only here in the N.T. Mat 11:8 has it “in kings’ houses.” Luk 7:26, Luk 7:27 are precisely alike in Mat 11:9, Mat 11:10. See note on Mat 11:9 for discussion.
