daniel-3:27-asv

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Daniel 3:19-27

In these verses we have, I. The casting of these three faithful servants of God into the fiery furnace. Nebuchadnezzar had himself known and owned so much of the true God that, one would have thought, though his pride and vanity induced him to make this golden image, and set it up to be worshipped, yet what these young men now said (whom he had formerly found to be wiser than all his wise men) would revive his convictions, and at least engage him to excuse them; but it proved quite otherwise.... read more

And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together ,.... Either by the order of the king, or of their own accord, to see the miracle that was wrought: saw these men ; saw them walking in the furnace, saw them come out of it at the king's call, and saw them when they were out, and examined them thoroughly; so that they had ocular demonstration, full proof and conviction, of the truth of what was done: upon whose bodies the fire had no power ;... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:27

Upon whose bodies the fire had no power - The heathens boasted that their priests could walk on burning coals unhurt; and Virgil mentions this of the priests of Apollo of Soracte: - Summe Deum, sancti custos Soractis Apollo! Quem primi colimus, cui pineus ardor acervo Pascitur; et medium, freti pietate, per ignem Cultores multa premimus vestigia pruna read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:27

Verse 27 Daniel relates how the satraps were gathered together with the leaders, prefects, and councilors of the king. The gathering was simply a collection of numbers, and if they deliberated about anything of importance, they all agreed. And this confirms the miracle, since if they had been stupefied, how could the great power of God be proposed to the eyes of the blind? Although they were so astonished, they were not altogether foolish, And Daniel implies this by saying, they were assembled... read more

The Saviour in the fire. "The form of the fourth" ( Daniel 3:3 ). A sketch of the further developments of the history will well introduce the following topics. I. THE SAVIOUR OF THE KING 'S IMAGINATION . "Like unto a son of the gods." The king was certainly not acquainted with the Hebrew doctrine of the Messiah, and even if he were, the appellation, "Son of God," would not be familiar to him. The deliverer to him was perhaps an angel, but surely a visitant from the unseen. ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 3:24-27

The unexpected fruits of persecution. As soon as the fierce tempest in Nebuchadnezzar's mind had expended its little force, there succeeded the calm of exhaustion. The tyrant is transformed into a servant, and appears like a docile child. Something has produced a strange impression on him—perhaps the sudden burning of his own officers, perhaps the unbending fortitude of the three Hebrews, perhaps the natural reaction from high-wrought excitement. Abandoning royal pomp, he visits himself the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 3:27

And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them. The versions present no variation of importance. We can, however, at this point compare the list of officials with that which we find in the beginning of this chapter, in Daniel 3:2 and Daniel 3:3 . We find that the word ... read more

And the princes, governors, and captains - Notes, Daniel 3:3.And the king’s counselors - Notes, Daniel 3:24.Being gathered together, saw these men - There could be no mistake about the reality of the miracle. They came out as they were cast in. There could have been no trick, no art, no legerdemain, by which they could have been preserved and restored. If the facts occurred as they are stated here, then there can be no doubt that this was a real miracle.Upon whose bodies the fire had no power -... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 3:26-27

Daniel 3:26-27. Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the furnace As near as he durst come; and spake With a milder tone than before, God having abated the fire of his fury; and said, Ye servants of the most high God, &c. The miracle calls to his mind the confession which he had formerly made of the true God, Daniel 2:47. And he can now at once both acknowledge him to be most high above all gods, and the three worthies, who had been condemned to the flames, to be his... read more
