Matthew 11:4 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Jesus answered and said unto them, Go and shew John again those things which ye do hear and see: Go and show John the things - ye do hear and see - Christ would have men to judge only of him and of others by their works. This is the only safe way of judging. A man is not to be credited because he professes to know such and such things; but because he demonstrates by his conduct that his pretensions are not vain.
