Matthew 27:30 NKJV,NLT

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 27:22-31

the Stain Water Could not Wash Away Matthew 27:22-31 No judge ought to have asked the crowd what he should do. But every man has to do with Christ. He is ever standing before the bar of conscience, and each of us must accept or condemn, do homage or crucify. If we do not pronounce for Him , we pronounce against Him ; and there is a moment when our verdict becomes irrevocable. “What I have written, I have written.” We are all writing our legend, and affixing it to the Cross for the universe... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 27:1-66

The morning saw the plot hatched in the night carried into effect. This is chronicled in the first two verses of the chapter. The picture of Judas in his remorse is very terrible. Pilate stands out as a warning against the policy of expediency. He was convinced of the innocence of Jesus, and his conscience- perhaps more acute that day than it had been for a very long time- very plainly revealed to him that his duty lay in releasing the Prisoner. However, he endeavored to secure himself and... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:27-31

The Mock Adulation of the Soldiers (27:27-31). Having been sentenced and committed to crucifixion Jesus now became fair game. It was not often that the soldiers had a royal claimant that they could do what they liked with. So they gathered their comrades-at-arms together, tore off his clothes, put on Him a scarlet robe and a crown of thorns, put a reed in His right hand and then mocked Him as ‘a king’. Then when they had had enough of their folly, they took back the robe, dressed Him in His... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:27-54

The Final Farewell (27:27-54). In sober words Matthew now portrays what Jesus had to endure from the moment when He was handed over to His executioners to be mocked as ‘the King of the Jews’ to the time when He breathes His last and His executioners testify that He is ‘the Son of God’. Analysis. a The mock adulation of the soldiers as they hail Him as ‘King of the Jews’ (Matthew 27:27-31). b The crucifixion of Jesus where He is numbered with two insurrectionists and displayed as ‘the King... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:30

‘And they spat on him, and took the reed and smote him continually on the head.’ Spitting was, as it still is, a sign of contempt, and they held nothing back, and then one of them, no doubt to the delight of his comrades seized the reed from His hand and smote Him on the head with it. After which they all felt that they wanted to have a go. The spitting is again a reminder of Isaiah 50:6, although the connection is not brought out. Matthew’s Gospel is, however, full of such Scriptural nuances.... read more

Matthew 27:27-Obadiah : . The Soldiers Mock Jesus ( Mark 15:16-Proverbs : *, which Mt. rearranges and slightly expands).— Lk. ( Luke 23:11) makes something of the kind happen at Herod’ s house, but there is some doubt about the text. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 27:27-31

Mark hath the same, Mark 15:17-20, only he saith they put upon him a purple robe. John seemeth to mention this a little out of order, John 19:1-3, as done before his condemnation; for though some think that Matthew and Mark rather mention these things out of their due order, yet the abuses seem more likely to be done to a person who was condemned, and so dead in law, than while he was upon his trial. Writers tell us that none might be crucified before he was scourged, and that not with rods,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 27:27-34

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 27:27. The common hall.—Literally, the Prætorium, a word which, applied originally to the tent of the prætor, or general, and so to the headquarters of the camp, had come to be used with a somewhat wide range of meaning, (1) for the residence of a prince or governor; or (2) for the barracks attached to such a residence (as in Philippians 1:13); or (3) for any house as stately. Hero (as in Acts 23:35) it appears to be used in the first sense. Pilate’s dialogue with the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:24-31

Matthew 27:24-31 Behold the Man. I. Behold the Man, and see who He is. We see that He is a real and actual man. Men had been on the outlook for that Son of God who should come down in the likeness of man. Perhaps no one expected that the Coming One would prove to be a real man; perhaps even the Jews, to whom pertained the oracles of God, rejected that idea as incongruous and mean, and thought that no hint could be found that Jehovah would ever dwell among them in the nature of such humanity as... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:26-51

Matthew 27:26-51 (with Mark 15:15-37 ) Christ on the Cross. Christ on the Cross is our subject. You know His history, And when you read, "The people stood beholding" you will be ready to add, "And no wonder." Here, before their eyes, was the tragic consummation of a life that was begotten by the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin, and signalized at its birth by the homage of both heaven and earth. I. His nature was singularly complete. No one of the constitutional temperaments usually distinctive... read more
