Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:35-38

35-38 Jesus visited not only the great and wealthy cities, but the poor, obscure villages; and there he preached, there he healed. The souls of the meanest in the world are as precious to Christ, and should be so to us, as the souls of those who make the greatest figure. There were priests, Levites, and scribes, all over the land; but they were idol shepherds, Zechariah 11:17; therefore Christ had compassion on the people as sheep scattered, as men perishing for lack of knowledge. To this day... read more

Matthew 9 THE GERGESENE PEOPLE not desiring His presence, He again crossed the sea, and was at once met by further cases of human need. In Matthew 9.0 we are shown how He wrought deliverance for the man sick of the palsy, the diseased woman, the daughter of Jairus, the two blind men, and the dumb man possessed with a demon again a five-fold exhibition of the power of the kingdom that had drawn near in His presence. In the first of these cases the Lord plainly stated the connection that existed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 9:36-38

Christ's compassion: v. 36. But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd. v. 37. Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest, truly, is plenteous, but the laborers are few. v. 38. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest that He will send forth laborers into His harvest. Christ's ministry brought Him into the most intimate touch with the people, gave Him the clearest insight into their... read more

Matthew A CHRISTLIKE JUDGMENT OF MEN Mat_9:36 . In the course of our Lord’s wandering life of teaching and healing, there had naturally gathered around Him a large number of persons who followed Him from place to place, and we have here cast into a symbol the impression produced upon Him by their outward condition. That is to say, He sees them lying there weary, and footsore, and travel-stained. They have flung themselves down by the wayside. There is no leader or guide, no Joshua or... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 9:35-38

Planning the Harvest Matthew 9:35-38 ; Matthew 10:1-4 A new chapter in our Lord’s ministry opens at this point. As He walked amid the crowded towns and villages of Galilee, His heart was deeply moved. His was the shepherd’s nature, which, ever forgetful of self, expends its all for the flock. Jesus loved the poor people tenderly-those vast multitudes were a scattered, harassed flock. Fainted has the meaning of being cast panting on the ground. It was as though they could not move another... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 9:1-38

The King now exercised His authority in a new way. He pronounced pardon on a sinner, and straightway opposition was aroused. To the questioning and rebellious hearts He vindicated His authority to forgive sins by a different exhibition of power, the power of healing. The effect was instantaneous and remarkable. The multitudes feared and glorified God. The record of a triumphal progress of the Shepherd King follows. A ruler, a woman ostracized because of her plague, two blind men, a dumb man... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 9:36

SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD‘When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.’ Matthew 9:36 The bearing of the Lord’s compassion and command here upon heathendom is divinely weighty. But its directest incidence lies another way. Its first message is for Christendom. I. A religious country.—Our Lord, when He thus spoke out His great compassion, stood in the midst of a religious country. It was a land... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:35-38

Jesus Appoints and Sends Out The Twelve To Proclaim The Kingly Rule of Heaven With Admonitions, Warnings And Final Promises (9:35-11:1). In this section Jesus appoints and sends out His twelve Apostles. His purpose for them is that they might proclaim the Kingly Rule of Heaven, and reveal its presence on earth by the signs and miracles that will result as they evangelise (Matthew 10:1; Matthew 10:7-8). But He is full aware that their message will only be accepted by the minority as He has made... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:36

‘But when he saw the crowds, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were distressed and scattered, as sheep not having a shepherd.’ The great crowds that gathered around Jesus had touched His heart. He was ‘moved with compassion’ towards them. The word for compassion used here is a word solely used of Jesus in the Gospels apart from when He uses it in His own parables. It is at the heart of the Kingly Rule of Heaven. For He saw these people as distressed and scattered, like sheep... read more
