Mat 12:1-8, Mar 2:23-28 | TSK | STEP | Christ reproves the blindness of the Pharisees concerning the breach of the sabbath, by scripture, by reason, and by a miracle. He heals a man possessed that was blind and dumb; and confuting the absurd charge of casting out devils by Beelzebub, he shows that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall never be forgiven. Account shall be made of idle words. He rebukes the unfaithful, who seek after a sign, and shows who is his brother, sister, and mother. went. to pluck.

Abiathar.It appears from the passage referred to here, that Ahimelech was then high priest at Nob; and from other passages, that Abiathar was his son. Various conjectures have been formed in order to solve this difficulty; and some, instead of untying, have cut the knot, by pronouncing it an interpolation. The most probable opinion seems to be, that both father and son had two names, the father being also called Abiathar; and this appears almost certain from 2 Sa 8:17; 1 Ch 18:16, where Ahimelech seems evidently termed Abiathar, while Abiathar is called Ahimelech or Abimelech. (Compare 1 Ki 2:26, 27.)
