Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 21:37

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, saying, They will reverence my Son.

Mark saith, he had but one Son, his well Beloved, Ch. 12▪6. Luke saith, 20.13. Then said the Lord of the Vineyard, what shall I do? I will send my beloved Son, it may be thy will reverence him, when they see him. God is here brought in acting after the manner of Men, using all prob[illegible: 1 letter]ble means to get their Rent; we must not fancy, that God did not know what Men would do. God after all his Prophets, sent his only Son to the Iews, and to their Priests, his well beloved Son, he said, Perhaps they will reverence my Son: These words must be understood, not as Expre[illegible: 1 letter]sing what they would do, or what apeared to God probable that they would do, but as expre[illegible: 1 letter]sive, of what they ought to do, and what God might reasonably expect from them.
