Mat 21:32. Ἐν ὁδῷ δικαιοσύνης, in the way of righteousness) “The way of righteousness” expresses more than “A righteous way.”-τελῶναι, publicans) who were unjust.-αἱ πόρναι, the harlots) who were unchaste.-It may be asked whether these, and consequently women in general, and also infants, were baptized by John: cf. Act 16:15.-οὐ μετεμελήθητε, did not alter your way of thinking.[933]-ὕστερον, afterwards) when you had seen their example.

[933] Bengel’s words are, non mutastis sententiam. In his German Version he renders it. “habt euch hernach nicht anders bedacht,” “have not after that changed your mind.”

In his Harmony, however, he renders it, “thatet ihr dennoch nichi busse,” “notwithstanding did not repent.” E. V. has “repented not afterward.”-(I. B.)
