Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 6:11

11 And they were filled with madness; and communed one with another what they might do to Jesus.

See the Notes on Matth. 12.10. and on Mark 3.1, 2, 3. in both which places we met with the same History, and with some more circumstances. Mark tells us that the subject of their deliberation, what they might do to Iesus was, how they might destroy him, this the Evangelist maketh the effect of their madness, [non-Latin text not transcribed], and he very properly so calls it. For Men to answer Arguments and reason with violence, is for them to act like Mad-men ▪ not like reasonable Creatures; yet to shew the degeneracy of Humane Nature, we shall observe there is nothing hath been more ordinary, when Men have been Conquered by reasoning, and have nothing reasonably to oppose, then to fly to violence, and with Swords to cut knots, which they cannot untie. Nor can there be a greater evidence of silly, and brutish Souls, and a baffled cause.
