Ver. 25-27. By our Saviour's form of reprehending his disciples, we may both learn:
1. That it is not every saying, Thou fool, but a saying of it from a root of hatred, malice, and anger, which our Saviour makes to be a breach of the sixth commandment, Matthew 5:21,22. Our Saviour's reprehension of them was out of a principle of love, and a root of good will to them.
2. That the best of us are very slow of heart to believe what cometh to us upon the mere credit of a Divine revelation. It is also observable from what we have, Luke 24:27, that Moses and the prophets are not to be rejected by Christians; they also have much concerning Christ; out of them Christ instructs these two disciples in the things concerning himself.
