SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:21
Y si dijeres en tu corazón: ¿Cómo conoceremos la palabra que el SEÑOR no hubiere hablado?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 21. And if thou say in thine heart , etc] Such a thought arises in the mind, and it appears to be a difficulty, and a query is made upon it, how shall we know the word which the Lord hath not spoken ? What marks, signs, and criterions are those by which it may be known that it is not a word that comes from the Lord?
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 15-22 - It is here promised concerning Christ, that there should come Prophet, great above all the prophets; by whom God would make know himself and his will to the children of men, more fully and clearl than he had ever done before. He is the Light of the world, Joh 8:12 He is the World by whom God speaks to us, Joh 1:1; Heb 1:2. In his birth he should be one of their nation. In his resurrection he shoul be raised up at Jerusalem, and from thence his doctrine should go fort to all the world. Thus God, having raised up his Son Christ Jesus, sen him to bless us. He should be like unto Moses, only above him. Thi prophet is come, even JESUS; and is "He that should come," and we ar to look for no other. The view of God which he gives, will not terrif or overwhelm, but encourages us. He speaks with fatherly affection an Divine authority united. Whoever refuses to listen to Jesus Christ shall find it is at his peril; the same that is the Prophet is to be his Judge, Joh 12:48. Woe then to those who refuse to hearken to Hi voice, to accept His salvation, or yield obedience to His sway! But happy they who trust in Him, and obey Him. He will lead them in the paths of safety and peace, until He brings them to the land of perfec light, purity, and happiness. Here is a caution against false prophets It highly concerns us to have a right touchstone wherewith to try the word we hear, that we may know what that word is which the Lord has no spoken. Whatever is against the plain sense of the written word, of which gives countenance or encouragement to sin, we may be sure is no that which the Lord has spoken __________________________________________________________________
