Matthew 2:17,18 - The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann

Bible Comments

Here again there is the fulfillment, not of a literal, but of a typical prophecy:

Matthew 2:17-18

17 Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,

18 In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.
