Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:1-28

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 16:21-27

Jesus Reveals That As The Messiah and Son of Man He Must Suffer (16:21-27). Jesus declares that the way of suffering lies ahead for Him as the Messiah, and when Peter tries to show Him His ‘error’, He rebukes Peter and points out that all those who follow Him must choose the way of suffering. That is the way forward in order to establish His Kingly Rule over men’s lives. Contrary winds must be faced by those who would reach ‘the other side’. And then, when He returns in the glory of His Father... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:24

‘Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.” ’ Jesus then responded to Peter’s foolish words with a warning of what it would mean to follow Him. And His first challenge here was this, and it was a vivid one. Were they willing from now on to deny themselves and take up their crosses and go on following Him? For if they wanted to come after Him, that was what would be required of them. We might translate ‘sets his... read more

Matthew 16:13-Hosea : . The Great Confession and the First View of the Cross ( Mark 8:27-Zechariah : *, Luke 9:18-Daniel :).— Omitting the cure of the blind man (but cf. Matthew 9:27-Micah :), Mt. passes to the significant episode of Cæ sarea Philippi. Matthew 16:13-Nehemiah : = Mark 8:27-Joel :, but note the substitution ( Matthew 16:13) of “ Son of Man” for “ I,” which gives the position away (especially if we read “ I, the Son of Man” ), and the addition of Jeremiah ( Matthew 16:14),... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 16:24

Mark hath the same, Mark 8:34, and Luke, Luke 9:23; only Mark saith, when he had called the people unto him with his disciples; Luke saith, he said to them all. He spake it to his disciples, but not privately, but before all the rest of the people, who at that time were present. If any man will come after me; that is, if any man will be my disciple: so it is expounded by Luke 14:26,Luke 14:27, which is a text much of the same import with this, only what Matthew here calleth a denying of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 16:20-28

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 16:20. Tell no man.—Jesus had not, even to His Apostles, said that He was the Christ, but He left it that they might discover it themselves from the testimony of facts. It was not suitable, therefore, that that should be openly told by the Apostles to others before His resurrection which was to corroborate the whole testimony to the fact of His being the Christ. For he who injudiciously propounds a mystery to those who do not comprehend it, injures both himself and others.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:21-26

Matthew 16:21-26 Great Purposes and Interruptive Voices. "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto His disciples how that He must go." Special emphasis should be laid upon the word "must," in order to discover the depth and range of the idea which the speaker seeks to convey. The emphasis, so placed, gives us the utterance of a great purpose. "Then Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him." This is an interruptive voice. Christ and Peter set before us the broadest contrasts in human... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:24

Matthew 16:24 One of the proofs of the truth and of the Divine origin of our religion is that it gives such a distinct notice of the difficulties which its followers will have to encounter. What other religion could afford to speak like this? I. " Deny himself. " As in the natural character selfishness and affection are two such opposite principles that the man that is selfish can never be truly affectionate, and the man that is affectionate will never be long selfish, so in the spiritual... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:24-28

Matthew 16:24-28 The Eucharist considered as a participation in the unselfish life of Christ. I. From the day of his temptation, when He refused to prove Himself the Son of God by doing any work to support Himself, or to make His power manifest, or to take possession of His kingdom from that day forward to His death, He was practising self-denial, and so was revealing the Father to men. The cross was the gathering up of all that previous sacrifice. And having proved this to be the true life of... read more

DISCOURSE: 1376THE EXTENT AND IMPORTANCE OF A CHRISTIAN’S DUTYMatthew 16:24-25. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.THE precepts of the Gospel are often considered as harsh and severe; but, if they were duly considered, there is not one of them, which would not appear highly reasonable. Perhaps there... read more
