People's Commentary (NT)
Matthew 2:4
And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes
together. Literally, "high priests". The high priests, and perhaps
the heads of the twenty-four courses of priests, are included. See
1 Chronicles 24:1-19. The "scribes" were the successors of Ezra, the official
copyists of the Scripture, who naturally became its expounders, and
were the theologians of the time of Christ. The priests, as the head of
the Jewish religion, and the scribes, as the chief expounders of the
Scriptures, were the proper persons to answer Herod's question.
Where Christ should be born. This demand concedes: (1) That the
Jews expected a Messiah; (2) That the Scriptures had foretold his
coming; (3) That the very place of his birth had been pointed out.
