Matthew Henry Commentary

8:1-11
The will of God is made known by the works of creation, and by the
consciences of men, but more clearly by Moses and the prophets. The
chief difficulty is to get men to attend to instruction. Yet attention
to the words of Christ, will guide the most ignorant into saving
knowledge of the truth. Where there is an understanding heart, and
willingness to receive the truth in love, wisdom is valued above silver
and gold.
