Matthew 21:30 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. I go, sir - This is all respect, complaisance, and professed, obedience; but he went not: he promised well, but did not perform. What a multitude of such are in the world, professing to know God, but denying him in their works! Alas! what will such professions avail, when God comes to take away the soul?
