Jesus announces plainly his death and resurrection. Rebukes Peter. (Mk 8:31-9:1; Luke 9:22-27 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 16:25-28

Profit and loss. As the time of the brief ministry of Jesus drew to its close, he began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem and suffer and be killed, and rise again the third day. The sombre part of this anticipation was a terrible shock to the strong Jewish prejudices of Peter; and he lost sight of the glorious element of the resurrection. So is prejudice blind evermore. He had. the presumption to take Jesus to task, and stoutly protested against any such issue. For this... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 16:27

For the Son of man shall come. The final judgment would put things in their true light—would show the value of self-sacrifice, would reveal the punishment of self-pleasing. Our Lord seems to refer to Daniel 7:13 , as it were, in testimony to the truth of what he had just said. Shall come ; μέλλει ἔρχεσθαι : venturus est (Vulgate), is more than the bare announcement, and implies that it is in accordance with the eternal counsels of God that he should appear this second time.

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 16:28

This verse has always been a crux to commentators, who cannot decide what is the event to which it refers. Many, taking it in connection with the preceding announcement, refer it exclusively to the day of judgment; but this idea is not compatible with Christ's assertion that some present shall see it ere they die. Nor can it refer to Christ's resurrection and ascension, and the mission of the Holy Ghost, which took place only half a year after this time, and the prediction of which so short... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 16:28

The coming of the Son of man. "Not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom." This is immediately suggested. "Christ's coming," and "Christ's coming in his kingdom," must be phrases used with a variety of meanings and with a variety of references. We begin to feel that it must be used as a proverbial phrase. Various explanations of our Lord's meaning have been given. Examine three. I. CHRIST CAME IN HIS KINGDOM AT THE TRANSFIGURATION .

This discourse is also recorded in Mark 8:34-38; Mark 9:1; and Luke 9:23-27.Let him, deny himself - That is, let him surrender to God his will, his affections, his body, and his soul.

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 16:25-27

Matthew 16:25-27. Whosoever will save his life At the expense of his conscience: whosoever, in the very highest instance, that of life itself, will not renounce himself, shall be lost eternally. But can any man hope he should be able thus to renounce himself, if he cannot do it in the smallest instances? And whosoever will lose his life, shall find it What he loses on earth he shall find in heaven. See note on Matthew 10:39, where this sentence is explained more at large. For what is... read more

Matthew 16:28. Verily, there be some standing here, &c. And that you may not doubt that there shall be a day of judgment, when I shall come clothed with divine majesty, to render unto men according to their actions in this life, let me assure you there are some here present that shall not die till they shall see a faint representation of this, in events which will soon take place, especially in my coming to set up my mediatorial kingdom with great power and glory, in the increase of my... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:24-28

74. Test of true discipleship (Matthew 16:24-28; Mark 8:34-9:1; Luke 9:23-27)Immediately after telling his disciples of his coming suffering and death, Jesus told them they had to be prepared for similar treatment. The disciples of Jesus are those who have given their lives to Jesus, and they will be obedient to their master even if it leads to hardship, persecution and death. They will no longer rule their own lives, but will deny themselves personal desires in order to please Jesus. In... read more
