Matthew 21:36 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:36

Again he sent other servants
Meaning, perhaps, such as suffered in the times of the Maccabees:

more than the first;
their number was greater, though their office was the same, at least not higher:

and they did unto them likewise;
they beat them with rods, they killed them with the sword, and stoned them, ( Hebrews 11:36 Hebrews 11:37 ) .
