📖🕯 Holy Bible - Matthew 9 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: Jesus returns to Capernaum, and heals a paralytic, Matthew called, Matthew, or Levi's feast, Objections of John's disciples, Christ raises the daughter of Jairus, He heals the issue of blood, He heals two blind men, Christ casts out a dumb spirit, He sends forth the apostles.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "Speak by the word of the Spirit to our hearts, the world cannot hold us down, Satan cannot stop our way, we shall arise and follow thee. A saving change is wrought in the soul, by Christ as the author, and his word as the means." ~ Matthew Henry

📖 About the book: Matthew, surnamed Levi, before his conversion was a publican, or tax-gatherer under the Romans at Capernaum. He is generally allowed to have written his Gospel before any other of the evangelists. The contents of this Gospel, and the evidence of ancient writers, show that it was written primarily for the use of the Jewish nation. The fulfilment of prophecy was regarded by the Jews as strong evidence, therefore this is especially dwelt upon by Matthew. Here are particularly selected such parts of our Saviour's history and discourses as were best suited to awaken the Jewish nation to a sense of their sins; to remove their erroneous expectations of an earthly kingdom; to abate their pride and self-conceit; to teach them the spiritual nature and extent of the gospel; and to prepare them for the admission of the Gentiles into the church.
