Matthew 17:16 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. Thy disciples could not cure him - No wonder, when the cure must be effected by supernatural agency, and they had not faith enough to interest the power of God in their behalf, Matthew 17:20. A spiritual disorder must have a spiritual remedy: natural means, in such cases, signify just - nothing.
