Bible Note: The quote you gave was not from Matthew Henry's commentary on Isaiah 53, but rather from the IntervArsity Press Commentary volume on the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 8, by Craig Keener: http://bible.gospelcom.net/cgi-bin/webcommentary Please be more careful with your attributions, because Matthew Henry would never have embraced "health and wealth." Your out-of-sequence cut-and-paste job of this commentary also makes for a very confusing read. Nothing you cited is from Matthew Henry, and it seems you are confusing Carson's quote with Keener's commentary. Speaking of D.A. Carson, his book _Exegetical Fallacies_ would be very instructive here... --Joe! |
