Mateo 7:10 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 7:10

Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
] Which is somewhat like a fish, especially an eel. Fish and bread are mentioned, because these were common food; see ( Mark 6:41 ) ( Mark 8:6 Mark 8:7 ) ( John 21:13 ) and particularly in Galilee, a fish country, where Christ now was, and from whence he had called his disciples, who were fishermen. In ( Luke 11:12 ) it is added, "or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion?" which is used, as the rest, to show the absurdity and inhumanity of such conduct; and that indeed nothing of this kind is to be found among men, unless it be among monsters in nature.

Mateo 7:10 In-Context

8 Porque todo el que pide, recibe; y el que busca, halla; y al que llama, se le abrirá.
9 ¿O qué hombre hay entre vosotros que si su hijo le pide pan, le dará una piedra,
10 o si le pide un pescado, le dará una serpiente?
11 Pues si vosotros, siendo malos, sabéis dar buenas dádivas a vuestros hijos, ¿cuánto más vuestro Padre que está en los cielos dará cosas buenas a los que le piden?
12 Por eso, todo cuanto queráis que os hagan los hombres, así también haced vosotros con ellos, porque esta es la ley y los profetas.
