Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Matthew 16 - Introduction

The Pharisees require a sign. Jesus warneth his disciples of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. The people's opinion of Christ, and Peter's confession of him. Jesus foresheweth his death, reproveth Peter for dissuading him from it: and admonisheth those that will follow him, to bear the cross.

Anno Domini 31.
