Matthew 18:2 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, A little child - But this child could walk, for he called him to him. Nicephorus says, this was Ignatius, who was afterwards bishop of Antioch, and suffered martyrdom under, and by command of, the Roman Emperor Trojan, in the 107th year of our Lord. But this good father is not much to be depended on, being both weak and credulous.
