Art thou he, or shall we look for another? See Matth. xi. 3.

VII. 24, 25. What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see, &c.? See Matthew xi. 7, 8, 9.

Luke 7:28

Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: &c. See Matthew xi. 11.

VII. 31—35. Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like? They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, &c. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil. The Son of Man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, &c. But wisdom is justified of all her children. See Matthew xi. 16—19.

Luke 7:37

And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, &c.

And, behold, a woman in the city, who was noted for an infamous offender, hearing, &c.

Luke 7:47

Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little.

She finds, that her sins are many, and that those her many sins are, upon her repentance, forgiven to her; and, in the sense of that mercy from me her Saviour, she loveth much.

Luke 7:50

Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.

That faith of thine, which hath moved thee to have recourse unto me for mercy and forgiveness, hath delivered thee from the danger of all thy sins, and put thee into the state of salvation. Go now away, in the peace of a good conscience; and be comforted in God, who hath remitted thee.
