Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:1-27

Let's turn now in our Bibles to Matthew chapter seventeen. The seventeenth chapter of Matthew actually begins with the twenty-eighth verse of the sixteenth chapter. It's unfortunate that the men who divided the Bible into chapters and verses made the chapter distinction where they did. They should have taken and included the twenty-eighth verse of chapter sixteen into chapter seventeen, and it would have eliminated a lot of questions. Because Jesus is talking to His disciples there at Cesarea... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 17:1-27

Matthew 17:2 . He was transfigured before them. Μεταμορφωθη , was transformed before them. Matthew, Mark, and Luke record this vision; and name the three selected witnesses. Peter had just confessed the Divinity of the Lord, and received a blessing. James, the first martyr of the twelve, and John, had been surnamed sons of thunder. Now they were admitted to see the glory which the twelve had confessed; and it was, as it would seem, afore to prepare them to attest the agony of the Lord in... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 17:22-23

Matthew 17:22-23The Son of Man shall be betrayed into the hands of men. Christ’s second announcement of His death1. In rapid succession the Saviour brings before His disciples the great facts in His history as the Mediator-facts which have the most direct bearing on man’s redemption and spiritual recovery.2. His complete knowledge of His future, and the calm magnanimity with which He talked about these stupendous events, demonstrate Him to be superhuman.3. What considerate kindness toward His... read more

John Trapp

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 17:22

22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: Ver. 22. The Son of man shall be betrayed ] This our Saviour often inculcates, to drive them out of their golden dream of an earthly kingdom; which pleased them so well, that they could hardly forego it. It is no easy matter to be disabused, undeceived. Error once admitted is not expelled without much ado. It sticks to our fingers like pitch: take heed how we meddle. read more

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

§ 76. CASTING OUT OF A DUMB AND DEAF SPIRIT, Matthew 17:14-23 . As Moses, when he came down from the mount of God, found that his people had in his absence turned to idolatry and vice, so our Saviour, on coming from the mount of transfiguration, found that his disciples in his absence had neglected prayer and fasting, and become spiritually weak, and had rendered themselves liable to the taunts of adversaries and the rebukes of the Lord. Great is the contrast between the exaltation of the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:22

22. While they abode in Galilee The miracle and conversation of the last paragraph plainly took place not far from the mount of transfiguration, which was in the vicinity of Cesarea Philippi. Thence, according to Mark 9:30, they crossed over Gennesaret to Galilee, where the present scene transpired. Into the hands of men Though he was the Son of man, and the model of humanity, it was fatal for him to be betrayed into the hands of men. Our Lord first broached the subject of his death at... read more
