Matthew
Matthew 21:36ESV·traditional attribution
Again he sent other servants, more than the first. And they did the same to them.
John Gill Reformed Baptist
Again he sent other servants,.... Meaning, perhaps, such as suffered in the times of the Maccabees: more than the first; their number was greater, though their office was the same, at least not higher: and they did unto them likewise; they beat them with rods, they killed them with the sword, and stoned them, Heb 11:36.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Reformed
Again, he sent other servants more than the first; and they did unto them likewise--see Kg2 17:13; Ch2 36:16, Ch2 36:18; Neh 9:26.
