Matteo 7:28 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 7:28

And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings,
&c.] Delivered in this, and the two foregoing chapters, concerning true happiness; the duty and usefulness of Gospel ministers; the true sense and meaning of several commandments in the law; concerning alms, prayer, and fasting; concerning the care of worldly things, rash judging, rigid censures, and reproofs; the straitness and narrowness of the way to eternal life, and the largeness and breadth of the way to destruction; concerning false prophets, and the right hearing of the word.

The people were astonished at his doctrine;
it being something new, and unheard of, what they had not been used to; and coming in the demonstration of the Spirit, and of power, it carried its own evidence along with it, wrought conviction in their minds, and obliged them to acknowledge the truth of it.

Matteo 7:28 In-Context

26 E chiunque ode queste mie parole e non le mette in pratica sarà paragonato ad un uomo stolto che ha edificata la sua casa sulla rena.
27 E la pioggia è caduta, e son venuti i torrenti, e i venti hanno soffiato ed hanno fatto impeto contro quella casa; ed ella è caduta, e la sua ruina è stata grande.
28 Ed avvenne che quando Gesù ebbe finiti questi discorsi, le turbe stupivano del suo insegnamento,
29 perch’egli le ammaestrava come avendo autorità, e non come i loro scribi.
