34. But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the Prince of the Devils.
34. Note, This was the blaspheming of the Holy Ghost: what can convince men who when they see all this done, will say, The Devil doth it? As if Power, and Love, and Government were the Devils work. 2. This verse is out of some Copies: but the same is in Matth. 12. The Devils, it seems have one Monarch.
35. And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in the synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
35. Note, 1. The Gospel of the Kingdom, is the glad news that the Kingdom of the Messiah was at hand, and what it was. 2. Had he separated from the Synagogue manner of worship, they had not permitted him ordinarily to preach among them. 3. Christ that taught us to know false Prophets by their hurtful fruits, (their malice, cruelty, persecuting and hurtful doctrines) doth accordingly justify his own mission and doctrine, by speaking and doing good, all that he did being for mens own benefit; healing and saving Souls and Bodies. And the world will judge of mens pretences by their fruits, when persecutors have done their worst.
