This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Ver. 21. That I might make thee know the certainty.] And so find firm footing for thy faith. {Luk_1:3; Luk_1:5} "These words of God are true," saith the angel. {Rev_21:5} These words are "faithful and true" {Rev_22:6} - void of all insincerity and falsehood. How can it be otherwise, whenas they are, as Gregory {a} speaks, Cor et anima, the very heart and soul of the God of truth? There must needs be a certainty in these words of truth, neither need we hang in suspense. When some took Christ for John Baptist, some for Elias, some for Jeremiah; But "whom say ye that I am?" {Mat_16:14-15} - to teach that Christ would not have men stand doubtful, halt between two, be in religion as beggars are in their way, ready to go which way soever the staff falleth; but to "search the Scriptures," and grounding thereon, to get a certainty, a "full assurance of understanding," {Col_2:2} so as to be able to say, "We have believed, therefore have we spoken." {2Co_4:13}
{a} Greg., in Reg. iii.
