Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 17:22-23

F. The Church in its human weakness. Matthew 17:22-23(Mark 9:30-32; Luke 9:43-45.)22And, while they [again] abode27 in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed [is about to be given up, μέλλει παραδίδοσθαι] into the hands of men;23And they shall kill him [will put him to death], and the third day he shall be raised [rise] again.28 And they were exceeding sorry.EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALMatthew 17:22.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 17:22-27

Pay Tribute Where It Is Due Matthew 17:22-27 All Jews were required to pay the half-shekel for the maintenance of the Temple services. See Exodus 30:13 . As God’s own Son, our Lord might surely have claimed exemption from taxation for His Father’s house. But He waived His claims, that He might not put a stumbling-block in the way of others. We must often conform to requirements that seem needless, because of the effect of our example on others who have not had the advantages of our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 17:1-27

"After six days." Days of silence. No record have we of what transpired in those days. The strange declarations of the Cross had crushed the hearts of these men. Now to three of their number, as special training for special work, was granted this wondrous vision of glory. The true force and meaning of all this they did not comprehend until the Spirit came. That then the value of the experience was appreciated is evident from Peter's reference to the vision ( 2Pe 1:16-19 ). Again a contrast!... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 17:21-27

Seeing Christ in Matthew Matthew 17:21-27 INTRODUCTORY WORDS In Matthew we have decided to address ourselves to Christ's relationship to His people. For our introduction we will center our thought on a verse of Scripture found in Matthew 17:27 . Peter had been troubled about the tax money. 1. Let us look at it this way. Christ is with us in the hour of every difficulty. He seemed to be saying to Peter, You need money to pay the taxes, Me and thee for it. This spirit of comradeship in every... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:1-27

Jesus Is Confirmed As The Son of God, Begins To Establish His New Congregation, Reaches Out To Gentiles, Is Acknowledged As Messiah By His Disciples, and Reveals His Inherent Glory (13:53-17:27). The advance of the Kingly Rule of Heaven leading up to the final consummation having been made clear by His parables Jesus is now confirmed as the Son of God (Matthew 14:33; Matthew 16:16; Matthew 18:26) and begins to establish a new open community (Matthew 14:13-21; Matthew 15:32-39; Matthew 16:18;... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:14-23

The Problem of Unbelief, The Reason For Unbelief, And The One Who Will Triumph Through Faith (17:14-23). At the commencement of this section we learned of the problem of unbelief (Matthew 13:58) which was connected with the power of Jesus and the idea of resurrection (Matthew 14:1-2). Now in this parallel passage we discover an example of unbelief in the disciples (Matthew 17:14-18), which is followed by describing the kind of faith that is required (Matthew 17:19-21) and the example of the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:22

‘And while they gathered in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of man will be delivered up into the hands of men,” ’ This is the first specific indication that they are back in Galilee. At the opening of this section Jesus was in His home town (probably Nazareth although Matthew does not say so) and left it because of their unbelief (Matthew 13:53-58). Now He will return to His home town (Capernaum - Matthew 17:24 compare Matthew 4:13) where they still do not recognise Him. Matthew centres... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:22-23

Jesus Again Warns Of His Coming Arrest, Execution, And Rising Again (17:22-23). Then Jesus presents the final example of faith. He is not just calling on His disciples to believe. He too will evidence His faith by going forward in the hands of God Who will deliver Him (‘will be delivered’ is a divine passive) into the hands of men. The result will then be that they will kill Him. But on the third day God will then raise Him from the dead. So He is going forward with His faith fully in His... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 17:22-23

Mark saith, Mark 9:30-32. And they departed thence, and passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it. For he taught his disciples, and said unto them, The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, and they shall kill him; and after that he is killed, he shall rise the third day. But they understood not that saying, and were afraid to ask him. Luke saith, Luke 9:44,Luke 9:45, he said unto them, Let these sayings sink down into your ears: for the Son of man shall be... read more
