Matthew Poole and continuators on Matthew 21:16

16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea, Have ye never read Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings, thou hast perfected praise?

The other Evangelists say nothing of this part of this History: The wonderful things here mentioned, are his healing the Blind and Lame, of which we read v. 14. The Cry of the Children doubtless more displeased them; it was of the same Nature with that of the multitude in the way, and in the Streets when our Lord came into Ierusalem, they owned Christ as the Messiah, and gave him Praise, and wished all manner of Felicity to him. The Pharisees shewing a displeasure at the Acclamation, Christ referreth them to what was written, Psal. 8.2. there it is thou hast Founded, or Ordained strength, that is, a solid, and firm Praise: A prediction that from the Testimony of such weak Persons, the Glorious power of Christ should be proclaimed, and from such mean and despicable beginnings; great and Glorious things should come to pass.
