48<\/strong>. bear witness…allow<\/em> ] We find the same two words used of St Paul in Act 7:58<\/span>; Act 8:1<\/span>. Allow means ‘approve after trial,’ and is derived from allaudare.<\/em> “The Lord alloweth<\/em> the righteous,” Psa 11:6<\/span> (Prayer-Book Version).<\/p>\n Verse 48. Truly ye bear witness<\/B><\/I>] Ye acknowledge that those of old who killed the prophets were your fathers<\/I>, and ye are about to show, by your conduct towards me and my apostles, that ye are not degenerated<\/I>, that ye<\/I> are as capable of murdering a prophet now<\/I>, as they<\/I> were of old<\/I>.<\/P><\/p>\n Truly ye bear witness, that ye allow the deeds of your fathers<\/strong>,…. Or “ye bear witness, and ye allow”; that is, they both witnessed that their fathers killed the prophets, and they consented to what they did, and approved of their actions:<\/p>\n for they indeed killed them<\/strong>; it must be owned, and not their sons:<\/p>\n and ye build their sepulchres<\/strong>; which was a bearing and keeping up a testimony against them, and a continuing a remembrance of their crimes; and which looked as though they approved of them, or otherwise they should have been content to have the prophets lie buried in silence, and not erected stately monuments over them, which seemed to be raised more for the honour of those that put them to death, than of the prophets themselves. Or, whereas they did this under specious pretences of disliking their fathers’ sins, which yet secretly they loved, and were of the same wicked disposition against the ministers of the word, and which they would quickly show; this discovered their hypocrisy, and confirmed the character Christ had before given of them; for it follows,<\/p>\n Consent <\/B> (<\/SPAN><\/span>). Double compound (, , <\/SPAN><\/span>), to think well along with others, to give full approval. A late verb, several times in the N.T., in Ac 8:1<\/span> of Saul’s consenting to and agreeing to Stephen’s death. It is a somewhat subtle, but just, argument made here. Outwardly the lawyers build tombs for the prophets whom their fathers (forefathers) killed as if they disapproved what their fathers did. But in reality they neglect and oppose what the prophets teach just as their fathers did. So they are “witnesses” (<\/SPAN><\/span>) against themselves (Mt 23:31<\/span>). <\/P> <\/p>\n Ye bear witness that ye allow [ ] <\/SPAN><\/span>. Rev., more correctly, ye are witnesses and consent. The compound verb means “give your full approval.” Ye think [] <\/SPAN><\/span>; favorably [] <\/SPAN><\/span>; along with them [] <\/SPAN><\/span>.<\/P> <\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n 1) “Truly ye bear witness,” <\/strong>(ara martures este) “Therefore you all are present witnesses,” in your tomb repair work, Luk 11:47<\/span>.<\/p>\n 2) “That ye allow the deeds of your fathers:” <\/strong>(kai suneudokeite tois ergois ton pateron humon) “And you all together, in colleague, sanction the works of your fathers,” who rejected the testimony of the prophets, Act 7:51-53<\/span>.<\/p>\n 3) “For they indeed killed them,” Because <\/strong>they certainly slew them, Jer 3:20<\/span>; Luk 20:9-15<\/span>.<\/p>\n 4) “And ye build their sepulchers.” <\/strong>(humeis de oikodomeite) “Then you all build or repair their tombs,” or give sanction to the murderous deeds of your fathers, and you intend to murder me, of whom they all prophesied, Deu 18:15-18<\/span>; Luk 24:25<\/span>; Act 10:43<\/span>; Rev 19:10<\/span>.<\/p>\n (48) Truly ye bear witness that ye allow.<\/strong>The better MSS. give, Truly are ye witnesses, and ye allow.<\/em> The word allow has, as always in the English Bible, the meaning of approving of, consenting to, having pleasure in. The last phrase is the rendering of the same Greek word in Rom. 1:32<\/span>, and would express the meaning here. The derivation of allow from the French allouer<\/em> and the Latin adlaudare,<\/em> shows this to be the true sense. On the rest of the verse, see Note on Mat. 23:31<\/span>.<\/p>\n Luk 11:48<\/span><\/em><\/strong>. <\/strong>That ye allow<\/em><\/strong><\/strong> That ye approve.<\/em> <\/p>\n 48 Truly ye bear witness that ye allow the deeds of your fathers: for they indeed killed them, and ye build their sepulchres. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Ver. 48.

Various explanations have been given of this. The difficulty is not the variation just noticed, so much as that no such passage<\/em> exists in the O.T. But I have little doubt that the true explanation is this: the whole saying<\/em> is a reference to 2Ch 24:18-22<\/span> , and so marked a one, that I am surprised no Commentators but Olshausen and Stier should have observed it, and they not thoroughly. That passage opens with remarks of the sacred historian on the delinquency of Judah and Jerusalem after the death of Jehoiada the priest: then Luk 11:19<\/span> , ‘ He sent prophets to them, to bring them again to the Lord; and they testified against them: but they would not give ear. And the Spirit of God came upon Zechariah the son of Jehoiada the priest, which stood above the people, and said unto them.

In Matt. the Lord Jesus Himself<\/em> , as became the solemnity of that final and awful close of His testimony to His own who received Him not, stands forth as the doer of this work, the sender of the Prophets and Apostles.
