Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 2:1-2

Matthew 2:1-2 I. We have, as it were, three classes gathered about us in this narrative, and the central figure of them all is Christ Himself. As we think of this story in connection with our Master, the first thought that strikes us is that we have here a distinct fulfilment of prophecy. It had been prophesied that to Him should the gathering of the people be. The Gentile and the Jew were found by His cradle; in Him all national distinctions are, as it were, wiped out; there is to be neither... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 2:2

Matthew 2:2 I. "Where is He?" Such was the cry of the old world before Christ came. Men had lost sight of God; even the Jews, the chosen people, had corrupted themselves with idols, till the God of their fathers had become to them as a dream. Many a one, besides the men of Athens, had erected an altar to the unknown God. From the wise man seeking after the truth, from the captive groaning in his dungeon, from the sad watcher by the dying bed, the cry went up, "Where is He? Where is God, that we... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 2:2

King "The King" is one of the divine titles Psalms 10:16 and so used in the worship of the Church 1 Timothy 1:17 but Christ is never called "King of the Church." He is "King of the Jews" Matthew 2:2 and Lord and "Head of the Church" Ephesians 1:22; Ephesians 1:23 (See Scofield "Ephesians 1:23- :") See Scofield "Ephesians 1:23- :" ; Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:23 read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 2:4

Scribes (Greek - "ἀπόλλυμι" = "writer") Heb. "spherim," "to write," "set in order," "count." The scribes were so called because it was their office to make copies of the Scriptures; to classify and teach the precepts of oral law (See Scofield " :-") and to keep careful count of every letter in the O.T. writings. Such an office was necessary in a religion of law and precept, and was an O.T. function 2 Samuel 8:17; 2 Samuel 20:25; 1 Kings 4:3; Jeremiah 8:8; Jeremiah 36:10; Jeremiah 36:12;... read more

Spurgeon's Verse Expositions of the Bible - Matthew 2:2

The Wise Men, the Star, and the Savior by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Where is the one who has been born King of the Jews? We saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him." Matthew 2:2 The incarnation of the Son of God was one of the greatest events in the history of the universe. Its actual occurrence was not, however, known to all mankind, but was specifically revealed to the shepherds of Bethlehem and to certain wise men from the east. To shepherds--the illiterate, men of very... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 2:1-23

Chapter TwoNow when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king ( Matthew 2:1 ),This is Herod the Great, that little short monster. He was a little over four feet tall, and as really short little guys probably suffered a tremendous ego problem. And thus significantly everything he did was big. I mean, he built great fortresses out of great rocks. I stood next to a rock that is along the Western Wall in Jerusalem that Herod had built as a retaining wall, to build up the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 2:1-23

Matthew 2:1 . Jesus was born in Bethlehem, as is illustrated in Micah 5:2. In the days of Herod the king, the son of Antipater, and father of Archelaus, who succeeded him on the throne. Herod, who was an Idumean, or an alien, is named here to indicate the time of our Saviour’s birth, and to show that the sceptre was departed from Judah, and from the Asmonæn family, who were often rulers, and honoured as descendants of David’s house. Behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.... read more
