Matthew 12:19 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

He shall not strive, nor cry; neither shall any man hear his voice in the streets.

Ver. 19. He shall not strive] To bear away the bell from others.

Nor cry] "Nor lift up his voice," saith the prophet, as loth to lie hidden, and therefore making an "O yes," as desirous of vain glory and popular applause. Laudes nec curat nec quaerit humanas. He despiseth it as a little stinking breath, or the slavering of men's lips which he disdains to suck in.
