Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 21:12-17

Matthew 21:12-Esther : . The Cleansing of the Temple ( Mark 11:15-Psalms : *, Luke 19:45-Galatians :, John 2:13-Nehemiah :).— Mt. here omits the first part of Mk.’ s divided account of the figtree, and links the Temple incident with the entry. It is the temple “ of God” ( Matthew 21:12), and the phrase “ for all nations” ( Matthew 21:13) is omitted, though, as Lk. also omits, this need not be pressed as an indication of Mt.’ s exclusiveness. Matthew 21:14-Nehemiah : . Mt. only; he is fond of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 21:15-16

The other evangelists say nothing of this part of this history. The wonderful things here mentioned, are his healing the blind and lame, of which we read Matthew 21:14. The cry of the children doubtless more displeased them; it was of the same nature with that of the multitude in the way, and in the streets, when our Lord came into Jerusalem; they owned Christ as the Messiah, and gave him praise, and wished all manner of felicity to him. The Pharisees showing a displeasure at the acclamation,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 21:12-17

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 21:12. Cast out.—Apparently a second cleansing of the temple. See John 2:15-17. Them that sold and bought in the temple.—The first person to introduce this sacrilegious custom was, according to the Talmud, one Babha Ben Buta, who brought three thousand sheep of the flocks of Kedar into the Mountain of the House, i.e. into the court of the Gentiles, and so within the consecrated precincts. The practice grew out of the desire to meet the convenience of the foreign Jews, who... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 21:1-46

Chapter 21Now when they drew near to Jerusalem, they were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Olives, and then Jesus sent two disciples, saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and immediately you're going to find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me. And if any men say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord has need of them; and immediately he will sent them. Now all of this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet,... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 21:1-46

Matthew 21:1 . When they were come to Bethphage. The rabbins dispute about the etymon of this village, whether it mean the “house of the fountain,” as is the literal import; or the “house of grossities,” or of flatterers. It was distant from Jerusalem a sabbath-day’s journey, that is one thousand nine hundred paces, and situate at the foot of mount Olivet. Mark and Luke join the two villages of Bethphage and Bethany together, for the road lay in the valley between the towns. Here the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 21:15-16

Matthew 21:15-16The children crying in the temple.The blessedness of children’s pietyIt is upon the child that this sarcastic question still falls. Some hardly think the children can be converted. The Saviour’s answer is splendid when He said, “Have you never read?” Never caught the inner sense, never read so as to understand, etc.I. Children are capable of very deep piety,1. They are capable of that early grace with which true religion usually begins-a deep repentance.2. No one who has seen... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 21:15

15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, Ver. 15. And the children crying, &c. ] To the great grief and regret of those cankered earls the priests and scribes; but to the singular commendation of their parents who had so well taught and tutored them. So the children of Merindol answered the popish bishop of Cavaillon with such grace and gravity... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 21:1-17

§§ 111, 112. TRIUMPHAL ENTRY INTO JERUSALEM THE BARREN FIG TREE THE TEMPLE CLEANSED, 1-17. Our Lord had now spent nearly three years in his holy ministry, furnishing to the people the proofs of his Messiahship; he now proceeds by a public demonstration to make proclamation of his claim to the title. He makes entrance into David’s royal city as the Prince of peace, David’s son, and heir to all the fulfilments of prophecy in regard to the Messiah. Even at the present day there are some who, like... read more
