And he answered and said unto them, etc.] That is, Jesus replied to them, as the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Persic versions express it: I will also ask you one thing, and answer me; when he also promised, that if they would give him an answer to his question, he would satisfy them in the point they interrogated him about: and as this was a prudent decline to avoid the snare they laid for him, so it was not an impertinent reply to them; since it led on to a proper answer to their question, as appears by the case proposed; (see Gill on “<402124>Matthew 21:24”).
