Christ by his words often caused a division amongst the Jews, so as they could not agree in their sentiments and censures about him; which was either caused through the mixture amongst them of such as truly believed with those who believed not; or else from the mixture of a more considering part amongst them with others who were more brutish, irrational, and full of passion. We met with much the same, 1 Thessalonians 7:43, and again, 1 Thessalonians 9:16. It is one method of God's providence for the deliverance of his servants from unreasonable men, to cause divisions among them, so as they cannot agree among themselves.
