‏ Luke 7:19

Verse 19. Art thou he that should come?] That is, to save. Art thou the promised Messiah? See Clarke on Mt 11:3.

Some have thought that this character of our Lord, οερχομενος, he who cometh, refers to the prophecy of Jacob, Ge 49:10, where he is called Shiloh, which Grotius and others derive from shalach, he sent: hence, as the time of the fulfilment of the prophecy drew nigh, he was termed, He who cometh, i.e. he who is just now ready to make his appearance in Judea. In Zec 9:9, a similar phrase is used, Behold, thy king COMETH unto thee-having SALVATION. This is meant of the Messiah only; therefore I think the words to save, are necessarily implied.
