This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 12:6. Δέγω, I say) This form of speech expresses great authority.-τοῦ ἱεροῦ, the temple) In which the priests minister. The Temple gives way to Christ, the Sabbath (Mat 12:5) to the Temple; therefore the Sabbath (Mat 12:8) to Christ.-ἔστιν ὧδε, there is here) He does not say, “I am greater.” Jesus was lowly in heart. See Mat 12:41-42, ch. Mat 11:4-5. Thus too in Luk 4:21, He says, This day is this Scripture fulfilled in your ears; and again, ch. Mat 19:9, This day is salvation come to this house. See also Mat 13:17; Joh 4:10; Joh 9:37.
