V.31-37 Some people today believe that they could commit the “unpardonable sin.” There is no sin a person can commit today which cannot be washed clean by the blood of Christ (1 John 1:77The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. (John 1:7)). The Lord Jesus was preaching “the gospel of the kingdom.” The death, blood shedding and resurrection of Christ had not yet taken place, the Holy Spirit had not yet come to earth as a Person, so these words apply to a person in that day, under the law. They will also in the day to come, after we are gone to glory. The Spirit’s work was then displayed in the miracles Jesus performed. That display of the work of the Spirit of God shall return in the millennium (Heb. 6:55And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, (Hebrews 6:5)).
V.38-45 They ask for a sign! These are wicked men (v. 45) and the Lord takes this occasion to pronounce awful judgments to come. The story of Jonah being thrown into the sea, was a picture of the death and resurrection of Christ.
V.46-50 Once more, the Lord is showing the changes which resulted from His rejection. His relationships with His family were all being set aside. With this chapter; ends the presenting of Jesus to Israel as Messiah. He is rejected.
