Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

We had the narrative, Matt. xii. The patient's case was piteous; he had a withered hand, by which he was disabled to work for his living; and those that are so, are the most proper objects of charity; let those be helped that cannot help themselves.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Then come his brethren and his mother - Having at length made their way through the crowd, so as to come to the door. His brethren are here named first, as being first and most earnest in the design of taking him: for neither did these of his brethren believe on him.
