11:45 {14} Then answered one of the lawyers, and said unto him, Master, thus saying thou reproachest us also.
(14) Hypocrites are very severe against other men, but think that all things are lawful for themselves.
11:45 One of the lawyers - That is scribes; expounders of the law.
11:37-54 We should all look to our hearts, that they may be cleansed and new-created; and while we attend to the great things of the law and of the gospel, we must not neglect the smallest matter God has appointed. When any wait to catch something out of our mouths, that they may insnare us, O Lord, give us thy prudence and thy patience, and disappoint their evil purposes. Furnish us with such meekness and patience that we may glory in reproaches, for Christ's sake, and that thy Holy Spirit may rest upon us.
