Luke 11:49 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Therefore also said the wisdom of God, I will send them prophets and apostles, and some of them they shall slay and persecute: The wisdom of God - These seem to be Luke's words, and to mean that Jesus, the wisdom of God, (as he is called, 1 Corinthians 1:24), added the words which follow here, on that occasion: and this interpretation of the words is agreeable to that of Matthew, who makes Jesus speak in his own person: Wherefore behold, I send you prophets, etc., Matthew 23:34. See the note there, and see Bishop Pearce.
