But the Lord is not moved against them, that He might show that perfect virtue has no feeling of revenge, nor is there any anger where there is fulness of love. For weakness must not be thrust out, but assisted. Let indignation be far from the religious, let the high-souled have no desire of vengeance. Hence it follows, But he turned and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of.
Ambrose of Milan· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 397patristic
But he turned and rebuked them,....
John Gill· Exposition of the Entire Bible, 1771reformed
Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of - You suppose that you are actuated by a proper love for me; but you know not yourselves. It is rather a love of revenge; rather revengeful feelings toward the Samaritans than proper feelings toward me. We learn here: 1. That apparent zeal for God may be only improper opposition toward our fellow-men. 2. That people, when they wish to honor God, should examine their spirit, and see if there is not lying at the bottom of their professed zeal for God some bad feeling toward their fellow-men.
Albert Barnes· Notes on the Old and New Testaments, 1870evangelical
Ye know not what manner of spirit - The spirit of Christianity is. It is not a spirit of wrath and vengeance, but of peace, and gentleness, and love.
