This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Mat 23:12. Ὅστις δὲ ὑψώσει ἑαυτὸν, κ.τ.λ., but whosoever shall exalt himself, etc.) In the S. V. of Eze 21:26, we read ἐταπείνωσας τὸ ὑψηλὸν, καὶ ὕψωσας τὸ ταπεινόν, Thou hast humbled that which is exalted, and exalted that which is humble.-ὑψώσει ἑαυτὸν, shall exalt himself) As the Scribes and Pharisees did.
