1/ “Let us notice, for one thing in this passage, what honorable mention is here made of women...We should hardly have expected to have read such things. We might well have supposed that…the weaker & more timid sex would not have dared to show themselves His friends.”
2/ “It only shows us what grace can do. God sometimes chooses the weak things of the world to confound the things that are mighty. The last are sometimes first, & the first last. The faith of women sometimes stands upright, when the faith of men fails & gives way.”
3/ “But it is interesting to remark throughout the N.T. how often we find the grace of God glorified in women, & how much benefit God has been pleased to confer through them on the Church, & on the world. In the O.T., we see sin & death brought in by the woman’s transgression.”
