Verse 15
Then went In the different classes, vs. Matthew 23:15-39. Jesus meets representatives of all Israel, Pharisees, Sadducees. Herodians. (See Scofield "Matthew 3:7"). For them, silenced but unrepentant, no message is left but "woe." Matthew 23:1-39.
Verse 29
ye do err Or, ye deceive yourselves, etc. Jesus' answer gives the three incapacities of the rationalist: self-deception, Romans 1:21; Romans 1:22 ignorance of the spiritual content of Scripture, Acts 13:27, disbelief in the intervention of divine power, 2 Peter 3:5-9.
Verse 35

Verse 41
asked them Cf. Matthew 21:24; John 19:7 Jesus' question is not personal but doctrinal: "Whose son is the Messiah?" Cf.; Acts 2:25-36; Romans 1:3; Romans 1:4.
