Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - (Ver. 16, note.) Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Wherefore (ἄραγε). Ver. 16a is restated, but now in "rigorous logical inference" (Winer, § 53:8. a) from vers. 16b - 18. Since it is a certainty that fruit is the result of inner nature, you shall from these men's fruits fully learn their true character.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) Ye shall know them.--As before, in Matthew 7:16, the word is one which implies knowledge that is full, clear, decisive--such as that to which St. Paul looks forward in the life to come (1Corinthians 13:12).
