geneva@Matthew:18:16 @ But if he will not hear [thee, then] take with thee one or two more, that in the (note:)That is, by the word and witness; the mouth is sometimes taken for the word of speech, (Num_3:16), and also for a still witness, namely, when the matter speaks for itself, as below in (Mat_21:16).(:note) mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be Sure and certain. established.

geneva@Matthew:21:16 @ And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast (note:)You have made most perfect. We read in David, «Thou hast established» or «grounded», and if the matter is considered well, the evangelist says here the same thing, for that which is most perfect is stable and sure.(:note) perfected praise?

geneva@Luke:7:47 @ Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; (note:)That is, says Theophylact, she has shown her faith abundantly: and Basil in his «Sermon of Baptism» says, «He that owes much has much forgiven him, that he may love much more». And therefore Christ's saying is so plain in light of this that it is a wonder to see the enemies of the truth so badly distort and misinterpret this place in such a thorough manner in order to establish their meritorious works: for the greater sum a man has forgiven him, the more he loves him that has been so gracious to him.
