Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:21-43

Five Fuller Applications of the Law (5:21-43). In order to bring home what His disciples’ approach to the Law should be Jesus selects five pivotal aspects of the Law, and expands on them and explains them. Each example commences with ‘you have heard that it was said --.’ He then draws attention to the fact that as a result of their literalist and hidebound interpretation the Jews have in many cases missed much of the significance of the Law. So He draws attention to what others in the past... read more

2). God’s Concern About the Purity of Women: What The Disciples’ Attitude Is To Be Towards The Law Concerning Adultery, Divorce, and Sexual Attitude: The Need To Be Harsh with Themselves About Sin (5:27-32). Continuing to deal with the commandments in the order given in Exodus 20:0 Jesus now takes up the question of the commandment about adultery, but it is should be noticed here that central to His concern is the permanence of marriage and the purity and oneness of a man and a woman within... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:28

“But I say to you, that every one who looks on a woman to lust after her, has committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Once again Jesus declares authoritatively, “I say to you.” Once He has spoken that settles the matter. The principle here is very clear. Even the desire for adultery in the heart, a desire which is encouraged in himself by a man, is the equivalent of adultery. The man who looks on a woman with the desire to break in on her purity, thus considering breaking the oneness... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:27-32

Matthew 5:27 f. Adultery.— Jesus again extends the scope of the prohibition from actions to thoughts. There is so mething more here than the seventh or even the tenth commandment, where the coveting is only a matter of property ( cf. Job 31:1; Job 31:7-2 Kings :). The papyri show that a married woman is probably meant in Matthew 5:28. Matthew 5:29 f. The Right Eye and Hand ( cf. Matthew 18:8 f. Mark 9:43-2 Corinthians : *).—“ Right eye” is an assimilation to “ right hand” ; the two eyes... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 5:27-28

The scope of our Saviour in these verses is the very same as in the verses immediately preceding, viz. to correct the jejune interpretation which the Pharisees had put upon the Divine law, and to show that he, instead of coming to destroy the law, came to fulfil it, as other ways, so by giving a more strict and true interpretation of it; and whereas they interpreted it only as to overt acts, which disturb human society and break civil order, he showeth that it reacheth to the inward thoughts,... read more

CRITICAL NOTESGENERAL REMARKS ON THE SERMON ON THE MOUNTThe aim and contents of the “Sermon.”—No mere sermon is this, only distinguished from others of its class by its reach and sweep and power; it stands alone as the grand charter of the commonwealth of heaven; or, to keep the simple title the Evangelist himself suggests (Matthew 4:23), it is “the gospel (or good news) of the kingdom.” To understand it aright we must keep this in mind, avoiding the easy method of treating it as a mere series... read more

DISCOURSE: 1303OUR LORD’S EXPOSITION OF THE SEVENTH COMMANDMENTMatthew 5:27-28. Ye have heard that it was said by [to] them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: but I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.THAT the Jews were unacquainted with the spiritual nature of their law, we do not wonder; because their authorized instructors were chiefly occupied in ceremonial observances; but that Christians should... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:1-48

Tonight we have the Sermon on the Mount, what a fantastic portion of scripture. Matthew five,And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he has sat down, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth, and he taught them, saying, ( Matthew 5:1-2 ).The first thing to notice is that this Sermon on the Mount is not for everybody. The Sermon on the Mount was not for the multitudes. Jesus is not here talking to the multitudes, he is talking to his disciples and unless a... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 5:1-48

Matthew 5:1 . Seeing the multitudes, assembled from six provinces to see and to hear the great, the promised prophet, who had opened his ministry with glorious miracles. But our Saviour looked upon them, not for distinction of dress and rank, these being vain in the eyes of heaven: he looked for those whom the world overlook, he looked for his Father’s image in the crowd, the poor in spirit, the mourners, and the meek. Matthew 5:3 . Blessed are the poor in spirit. These characters are... read more

Matthew 5:27-28In his heart.The heart or will is, in man, the seat of virtue or vice.I. Actions must be our invariable touchstone of truth whilst we sojourn in this state of imperfect knowledge and comparative obscurity, where expression is the only avenue to sentiment, and action the only publisher of intention.II. Actions are the only public representatives of our private sentiments.1. So many channels through which the heart discharges its flow of various passions.2. So many mirrors by the... read more
