Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers
(33) Ye generation of vipers.--Better, as in Matthew 3:7, brood, or progeny of
vipers. The word of rebuke which had come before from the lips of the Baptist,
comes now, with even more intense keenness, from those of the Christ.

How can ye escape?--Better--to maintain the parallelism with the Baptist's
words, which was, we can hardly doubt, designed--How should ye flee from?



Pulpit Commentary
Verses 33-39. - Declaration of the sentence on these Pharisees and their
generation. Verse 33. - Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers; γεννήματα ἐχιδνῶν:
offspring of vipers. Our Lord repeats the Baptist's denunciation (Matthew 3:7).
They were of devilish nature, inherited from their very birth the disposition
and character of Satan. So Christ said on another occasion, "Ye are of your
father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a
murderer from the beginning, and stood not in the truth" (John 8:44). How can ye
escape? Πῶς φύγητε; the deliberative conjunctive, How shall ye escape? Quo mode
fugietis? (Vulgate). There is no emphasis on "can" in the Authorized Version.
What hope is there now of your repentance? Can anything soften the hardness of
your hearts? The Baptist had spoken more hopefully, "Who hath warned you to flee
from the wrath to come?" But now the day of grace is past; the sin against the
Holy Ghost is committed; there remaineth only the fearful looking for of
judgment. The damnation of hell; literally, the judgment of Gehenna; judicio
Gehennae (Vulgate); i.e. the sentence that condemns to eternal death (Matthew
5:22). The phrase is common in the rabbinical writings (see Lightfoot). "Before
sinning, we ought to fear lest it be the filling up; after sinning, we should
trust in a truly Christian hope that it is not, and repent. This is the only
means to escape the damnation of hell; but how rare is this grace after a
pharisaical life!" (Quesnel). Hypocrisy is a bar to repentance.
