Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Matthew 7:15

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

15. Beware —But beware. of false prophets —that is, of teachers coming as authorized expounders of the mind of God and guides to heaven. (See Acts 20:29 ; Acts 20:30 ; 2 Peter 2:1 ; 2 Peter 2:2 ). which come to you in sheep's clothing —with a bland, gentle, plausible exterior; persuading you that the gate is not strait nor the way narrow, and that to teach so is illiberal and bigoted—precisely what the old prophets did ( Ezekiel 13:1-10 ; Ezekiel 13:22 ). but inwardly they are ravening wolves —bent on devouring the flock for their own ends ( 2 Corinthians 11:2 ; 2 Corinthians 11:3 ; 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-16" class="com-number"
