14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them.



Ver. 14. {See Trapp on "Mat_17:14"}



And the scribes questioning with them] Purposely to put them to shame in their Master’s absence: Marcian the heretic, for his arroding the good names of others, was called Mus Ponticus. (Tertull.) And Epiphanius fitly resembleth heretics to moles, who do all their mischief by working underground. But if once they be above ground, they are weak and contemptible creatures.
