Mateo 17:1-27 RVA

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:23

“And they will kill him, and the third day he will be raised up.” And they were very upset.’ And He then makes clear what will follow. ‘They will kill Him.’ He is in no doubt about what His fate will be. Man is to be allowed to do His worst. But the last word will be with His Father. On the third day He will be raised up. Jesus has total faith in His Father. For the rising up on the third day see on Matthew 16:21. ‘The third day’ might simply signify ‘within a short time of less than a week’,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:24

‘And when they were come to Capernaum, those who received the shekel came to Peter, and said, “Does not your teacher pay the didrachma (shekel)?” (Matthew 17:24). The didrachma or shekel tax was probably that payable to the Temple treasury. It was payable yearly by Jews around the world, and contributed greatly to the Temple funds. It was an indication of their submission to God as His servants. Note the stress here on whether Jesus paid it. Peter, of course, had to pay it as well, and they may... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:24-27

Jesus Again Reveals His Sonship (17:24-27). In contrast with man’s coming treatment of Him Jesus continues to reveal His Sonship preparatory to what is coming. What follows is not just an outlandish display of power and knowledge with little significance, it is a specific indication that He is no longer subject to men. To pay the Temple Tax to His Father from His own earthly resources would have been to indicate that He was still subject to men, and an acknowledgement that He was not truly the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:25

‘He says, “Yes.” And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke first to him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? The kings of the earth, from whom do they receive toll or tribute? From their sons, or from strangers?” ’ As they expected Peter did say ‘Yes’. He knew of no reason why Jesus as a good Jew should be exempt, and probably knew that He had paid it without demur in previous years. But Jesus then challenges his assumption and makes him stop and think. He asks him who should pay tribute to a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:26

‘And when he said, “From strangers,” Jesus said to him, “Therefore the sons are free.” ’ When Peter necessarily replies, ‘of strangers’, Jesus then points out that therefore the sons, (and especially the Son), are free of the burden of the tax, for no King will look to his sons for the tax. This primarily means Himself as the Father’s Son, but it also includes in the end all those who through Him are sons of God. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:27

“But, lest we cause them offence, you go to the sea, and cast a hook, and take up the fish that first comes up, and when you have opened his mouth, you will find a shekel, that take, and give it to them for me and you.” Thus Jesus is presenting Peter with a dilemma, for if what Jesus says is true, He Himself should not pay the Temple tax, and nor should Peter. But He is not desirous of making an issue of it, thereby causing offence, so He arranges to pay it in such a way that it is clear to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:1-13

Matthew 17:1-1 Chronicles : . The Transfiguration, and the Coming of Elijah ( Mark 9:2-1 Chronicles : *, Luke 9:28-Zephaniah :).— The narrative agrees closely with Mk., the chief difference being the appropriate addition of Matthew 17:7. The fear of the disciples occurs earlier in Mk., and is made the occasion of Peter’ s intrusion; in Lk. it is omitted. Matthew 17:10-1 Chronicles : . The disciples are puzzled because Elijah has only just appeared— after the coming of the Messiah, whereas... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:14-21

Matthew 17:14-Ecclesiastes : . Healing of the Demoniac Boy ( Mark 9:14-Joel : *, Luke 9:37-John :).— The story is much shorter than in Mk. The reference to possession does not come till the end; in Matthew 17:15 the child is described as epileptic. Perhaps the story was told in Q. The father’ s appeal, “ Lord, have mercy” ( Matthew 17:15), gives us the well-known “ Kyrie eleison.” Instead of prayer (the verse ( Matthew 17:21) in Mt. is spurious) and fasting ( Mark 9:29), Jesus here puts the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:24-27

Matthew 17:24-Daniel : . Temple Tribute.— Mt. only. The collectors of the half-shekel, expected from every Jew towards the maintenance of the Temple, and usually paid just before the Passover, ask Peter if his master fulfilled the obligation, and are told that He did. In conversation with Peter, Jesus apparently asserts that the Temple should be maintained by taxes on Gentiles, while Jews go free. But a better interpretation is that, as sons of the Messianic Kingdom, He and His followers are... read more
