Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:1-36

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's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:13-21

Jesus Provides A Messianic Fellowship Meal In The Wilderness For His Symbolic New Community (14:13-21). Jesus, having been rejected by His home country and by the powers that be, has compassion on those who do follow Him into ‘a wilderness place’ and feeds them with bread from Heaven. There may here be a deliberate connection with the Exodus. (Note that Psalms 77:19 LXX (Psalms 78:19 MT) with the Exodus in mind also has no article on ‘wilderness’). In the words of Psalms 78:0 (already in mind... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:19

‘And he commanded the crowds to recline on the grass, and he took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and broke and gave the loaves to the disciples, and the disciples to the crowds.” ’ ‘He commanded the crowds to recline on the grass.’ Reclining was the attitude taken up for a banquet. This was to be no symbolic meal, but genuine provision. This day they were to be fed to the full. Then Jesus took the five loaves and two fishes and looking up to Heaven... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:13-21

Matthew 14:13-Ecclesiastes : . The Feeding of the Multitude ( Mark 6:35-Acts : *, Luke 9:10-Esther :).— The account is somewhat shorter than in Mk. Having already ( Matthew 9:36) spoken of Jesus’ compassion for people who were “ as sheep not having a shepherd” ( Mark 6:34), Mt. here ( Matthew 14:14) makes Him heal the sick, which is somewhat out of place. He adds to the 5000 men, women and children. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 14:17-21

In the relation of this story by the other evangelists there is no difference in what is material; the others relate some circumstances more, as that they sat down on the grass, and by fifties, one saith, by hundreds and by fifties, & c.; but they all agree in the quantity of the provision, five loaves and two fishes; the number of the persons fed, five thousand (only one addeth, besides women and children); and in the number of the baskets full of fragments; and in our Saviour’s lifting up... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 14:13-21

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 14:13. He departed thence.—Matthew traces the withdrawal from Capernaum to the eastern side of the lake to the news of John Baptist’s martyrdom. Luke tells us that Herod desired to see Jesus, and the resolve to avoid the tetrarch would be increased by the sad tidings. Mark adds a second motive for the passage, in the wish to secure a period of quiet for the Apostles who had just returned from their missionary tour (Maclaren). A desert place apart.—See Luke 9:10. Probably... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:15-21

Matthew 14:15-21 Jesus and His Bounty. I. The problem of the disciples. The desert place, the night, and the multitude without food, presented a problem that might well constitute reason for anxiety to any that were of a sympathetic nature. The disciples were prepared for the desert themselves, with or without food; but to be there with five thousand men, besides women and children, and all hungering, was a very different matter. There was no provision in their faith for so unexpected an event.... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:1-36

And at that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus. And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he's risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him. For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife. For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. But when... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 14:1-36

Matthew 14:2 . This is John the baptist: he is risen from the dead. Mark indicates that Herod was a sadducee by those words of Christ, Beware of the leaven of the sadducees beware of the leaven of Herod. But how is this reconciled with Luke 9:9, where Herod desired to see Christ? Perhaps, like our Harry, he often changed his faith. Perhaps he doubted sometimes whether the Pythagorean doctrine of metempsychosis, or the transmigration of souls into new bodies, might not be true. The cabalists... read more
