Matthew 8:20 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

The Son of man — The expression is borrowed from Daniel 7:13, and is the appellation which Christ generally gives himself: which he seems to do out of humility, as having some relation to his mean appearance in this world. Hath not where to lay his head — Therefore do not follow me from any view of temporal advantage.

Matthew 8:20

20 And Jesus saith unto him,The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
