Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 12:30

30 He that is not with me, is against me, and he that gathereth not with me, scattereth abroad.

Luke hath the same Ch. 11. v. 23. some understand this concerning the Devil, whom he was so far from favouring, that his Work was quite opposite. Some un[illegible: 1 letter]erstand it concerning some Neuters, that would neither shew themselves for Christ, nor against him. Our Saviour tells them, that this cause would bear no Neutrality, they must be either for him or against him. But po[illegible: 1 letter]sibly it is best understood, concerning the Scribes and Pharisees, whom he lets know; That he was one, shewed Men the true way of Life and Salvation, and those that complyed not with him, were his Enemies. And in stead of gathering, scattered the Sheep of God.
