Matthew 9:36
Douay-Rheims
And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.
John Chrysostom
This is an accusation against the rulers of the Jews, that being shepherds they appeared like wolves; not only not improving the multitude, but hindering their progress. For when the multitude marvelled and said, It was never so seen in Israel, these opposed themselves, saying, He casteth out dæmons by the prince of the dæmons. (vid. Ps. 102:19.)
