The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 5:21-32

Chapter 19 Divine Education Christian Spirituality Self-denial Inevitable Christ's Teaching Is Spiritual Prayer Almighty God, surely thy word is sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the dividing asunder of the joints and marrow. Thine eye of judgment is as a great fire, from the light of which nothing can be hidden. Thou triest the reins and searchest the hearts of the children of men. Thou wilt not be satisfied by the offering of the hand, thou dost demand the loyalty of our... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 5:27-30

Reader! do not fail to observe the spiritual nature of the law of GOD. It is not limited to actions, but includes thoughts. The heart is the forge where all actions are worked. And whether they be brought forth into actual deeds or not, in the eye of the LORD the. intention is the same. Surely the whole earth is at once brought in guilty before God. It is the grossest mistake in the world for any man to take shelter from guilt, in a supposed exemption from this or that particular sin. The heart... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:27-32

27-32 Victory over the desires of the heart, must be attended with painful exertions. But it must be done. Every thing is bestowed to save us from our sins, not in them. All our senses and powers must be kept from those things which lead to transgression. Those who lead others into temptation to sin, by dress or in other ways, or leave them in it, or expose them to it, make themselves guilty of their sin, and will be accountable for it. If painful operations are submitted to, that our lives may... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 5:1-99

Matthew 5 THE LORD THEN began to speak to His disciples, though in the presence of the multitude, instructing them in the principles of the kingdom. First of all He showed what kind of people are going to possess the kingdom and enjoy its benefits. In the kingdoms of men today a man needs plenty of self-confidence and ‘pushyness’ if he is to be a success, but the opposite holds good for the kingdom of heaven. This had been already indicated in the Old Testament: Psalms 37.0 , for instance,... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 5:27-28

A lesson from the Sixth Commandment: v. 27. Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery. v. 28. But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. The Sixth Commandment had indeed been given to "them of old time," Exodus 20:14; Deuteronomy 5:18. But it was understood by the Jewish teachers of the sin in deed only, of the deliberate unfaithfulness of those joined in wedlock, or... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 5:20-48

2. Relation, between the Doctrine of Christ and the Law; and between the latter and the Doctrine of the Pharisees and Scribes, or Jewish Traditionalism, as exhibited in five special instances,—showing the spurious in opposition to the genuine development of the Law, its narrowing by the letter, and its fulness in the spirit.Matthew 5:20-48( Matthew 5:20-26, the Gospel for the 6th Sunday after Trinity)20For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 5:27-37

Pure Eyes and Clean Speech Matthew 5:27-37 The legislation of the old time insisted that no member of the commonwealth should commit adultery, and enforced terrible penalties. See Deuteronomy 22:22-24 . But the Divine Man, who reads the human heart with perfect accuracy, goes behind the deed to its premonitory stages, legislates about the look that may inflame passion, and condemns the soul that does not instantly turn the eye from that which allures it, to the All-Holy, asking to be... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 5:1-48

In the three chapters beginning here we have the Magna Charta of the Kingdom. This chapter opens with a great revelation of its supreme condition. Character is everything. The first word is suggestive, "Happy." That marks the divine will for man. It also announces that human happiness is conditioned in character. A sevenfold happiness is named. Such character is contradictory to the spirit of every age apart from the Kingship of God, and will result in "persecution." So the King adds an eighth... read more

Robert Neighbour

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 5:1-42

The Sermon on the Mount Matthew 5:1-42 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. The key to the Sermon on the Mount is found in Matthew 4:23 : "preaching the Gospel of the Kingdom." Before the Lord sat a great crowd of people and among them His own disciples. As He looked into those hungry faces He saw the same needs there, that we would see in any audience today. The one yearning of their hearts was that they might find happiness. They had failed. Many thought that wealth would make them happy. They had been... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:17-48

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. THE FULFILMENT OF THE INSTRUCTION OF YHWH AND OF THE PROPHETIC HOPES (5:17-7:12). Having revealed how God has worked in His disciples in a life-transforming way in Matthew 5:3-9, and having shown them that they are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world in Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus now goes into detail about what that will involve, and how it will lead up to the final consummation, that is to the fulfilment of the Law (the Torah - The Instruction of God)... read more
