Matthew 18:5 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Ver. 5. And whoso shall receive one such, &c.] St Luke Luk 9:48 hath it, "whosoever shall receive this child in my name." Meaneth our Saviour the child, or those that were humble as that child? Both surely. See here how highly Christ regards and rewards humility, even the picture of it in little ones. Now, if the shadow of this grace have such a healing virtue, what then hath the body? If the leaves be so sovereign, what then the fruit?

5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
