Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 26:26-30

Mark relates this with no considerable difference, Mark 14:22-26; only he saith, they all drank of it, and, shed for many for the remission of sins. Luke saith, our Saviour upon his giving the bread, said, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. Luke 22:24-30 gives us some further discourses of our Saviour with Peter, and to his disciples; but no other... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 26:26-30

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 26:28. New.—Omitted in R.V., on the authority of the best MSS. Testament.—Covenant (R.V.). The term διαθήκη is here of peculiar importance. It does not mean either a covenant in the sense of contract or agreement, or a testament in the sense of a will, but it has a meaning which combines ideas distinctive of both. In διαθήκη there are the conditional elements necessary to a covenant, and the absolute elements necessary to a testament: the first, so far as it denotes... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:30

Matthew 26:30 There are many truths which present themselves to the mind, when it duly ponders the simple statement of the text. I. The first of these truths is that our blessed Lord, by conforming to certain customs of the Jews in the eating of the Passover, gave His sanction to ceremonies which may not be able to plead a Divine institution. It was not only in the singing of psalms, but in many other particulars, such as the recumbent posture, and the drinking of wine, that the Jews had... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings ( Matthew 26:1 ),This is the end of now the Olivet discourse.He now said to his disciples, Now you know that in two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified ( Matthew 26:1-2 ).Now this is interesting, because this apparently was on Monday, that Jesus gave the Olivet discourse. He had made His triumphant entry on Sunday, which is known as Palm Sunday, and then the next day He came back into... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 26:1-75

Matthew 26:2 . After two day is the passover. This is the literal import of the Greek word πασχα pascha, and the Hebrew word פסח pesach, because the Israelites, after eating the paschal lamb, passed over the Red sea. The jews had a tradition, probably from the prophets, that they should be delivered at the passover, which tradition is still in the Cabalists. And it is very remarkable, that Christ should redeem the world at the very festival when he redeemed the Hebrews from Egypt. He is... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 26:30

Matthew 26:30And when they had sung an hymn. The parting hymnOur Lord commemorated the Passover as His countrymen were wont to do; and we may justly conclude that He sung what they were used to sing in finishing the solemn celebration. When the Passover was instituted on the night of the destruction of the firstborn of the Egyptians, various forms and practices were enjoined (Exodus 12:1-51.). But in after times, especially in those of our Saviour, when traditions came to their height, numerous... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 26:30

30 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. Ver. 30. And when they had sung an hymn ] The Jews at the Passover sang the great hallelujah, that is, the 113th Psalm with the five following Psalms. This they began to sing after that dismissory cup mentioned before. At all times we should sing hallelujahs, with grace in our hearts to the Lord; but at the sacrament the great hallelujah, the hosannah Rabbah. We should credit the feast by our spiritual jollity,... read more
