NOTES ON CHAP. XI.



Verse 1. This verse properly belongs to the preceding chapter,

from which it should on no account be separated; as with that it

has the strictest connection, but with this it has none.



To teach and to preach] To teach, to give private instructions

to as many as came unto him; and to preach, to proclaim publicly,

that the kingdom of God is at hand; two grand parts of the duty of

a Gospel minister.

Their cities] The cities of the Jews.
