What is the meaning of Matthew 12 11?
Here Jesus points to the Jewish practice of the time in which if a sheep fell into a ditch on the Sabbath day, it was lawful to pull it out so that the sheep not remain there and suffer hunger, on the Sabbath. Likely also if a sheep were drowning on the Sabbath.
What is the scripture Matthew 11 12?
Matthew 11:12, ESV: From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12, KJV: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
What does the kingdom of God suffereth violence mean?
Taking the Kingdom by force refers to those who make a concerted effort to enter the kingdom in spite of violent opposition. This opposition comes in many forms including our carnal mind, which is enmity against God and the lust of our own human flesh.
What is the Catholic commentary on Matthew 11 12?
But to be in the kingdom is so great a privilege that the least who has it is greater than the Baptist. * [11:12] The meaning of this difficult saying is probably that the opponents of Jesus are trying to prevent people from accepting the kingdom and to snatch it away from those who have received it.
