Mateo 7:1-29 NVI

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 7:28

Matthew 7:28 f. An Editorial Note ( cf. Matthew 11:1, Matthew 13:53, Matthew 19:1, Matthew 26:1).— Mt. uses this transition formula after each of his five chief groups of Christ’ s sayings. The multitudes were not present during the Sermon ( Matthew 5:1), but Mt. here returns to the Marcan narrative ( Mark 1:22).“ The teaching brought together by Mt. in the Sermon on the Mount provides for all the spiritual needs of men, covering the whole domain of the inner life. It regulates conduct for... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:1-2

Our Saviour must not be understood here prohibiting any judgment, which is elsewhere in holy writ allowed, for the Holy Spirit doth not command and prohibit the same thing; whence it if evident, that it is not to be understood of political or ecclesiastical judgments, nor was our Saviour here speaking to any such persons: it is therefore to be understood of private judgments, nor of them absolutely, for it is lawful for us to judge ourselves, yea, it is our duty, 1 Corinthians 11:31; Nor is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:3-5

Whether the word translated mote signifieth a mote or a splinter, is of no great concern to know. Our Saviour expounded this text, when he said to the Pharisees, bringing him a woman taken in adultery: Let him that is guiltless throw the first stone. So doth the apostle Paul, Romans 2:1. The text teacheth us these lessons: 1. That those who are most censorious of others, are usually more notorious and culpable themselves, if not for the same sins, yet for others of equal if not greater... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:6

By swine and dogs, our Saviour doubtless understandeth wicked men of several sorts, either such as are more tame sinners, trampling upon holy things, and with swine wallowing in the mire of lusts and corruptions, Proverbs 26:11; 2 Peter 2:22; or, by dogs, more malicious, revengeful, boisterous sinners may be meant, whose consciences will serve them to bark and grin at the word of God, to mock at holy things, to persecute those that bring them the gospel, and are their open enemies, because they... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:7-8

Here is a precept expressed by three words, ask, seek, knock; and a promise annexed in three distinct terms, it shall be given you, ye shall find, it shall be opened unto you. The thing commanded is prayer; the thing promised is an audience of prayer, or an answer to prayer. The multiplying of the terms in which the precept is expressed is not idle and superfluous, it lets us know our averseness to the duty, and that God in it requireth of us faith, diligence, constancy, and importunity. Christ... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:9-11

Asking is but a verbal expression of an inward desire; no man desireth that which is evil, but that which he at least apprehends to be good, that is, suitable unto his wants. As earthly parents, knowing that their children, though through weakness of understanding they may ask that which is really evil for them, yet will not give them any such things, and gratify their ignorance; so neither will your heavenly Father, knowing what you truly need, and what is truly good for you, give you any... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:12

Most interpreters think the term therefore here redundant, as some such little particles often are in holy writ, for it is hard to make out this to be a proper inference from the premises. This precept containeth in it the substance of all that is to be found in the books of the law and the prophets which concerneth us in reference to others, the sum of the second table, which requireth only justice and charity. Christ doth not say, this is all the law and the prophets, but this is the law and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:13-14

Our Saviour having in this sermon delivered many hard sayings to flesh and blood, here obviates a twofold temptation they might have to the neglect of them: 1. From their difficulty. 2. From the paucity of them who live according to these rules. He here compares heaven to a house, a stately house, into which a strait gate leadeth to a city, the way to which is a narrow way. There is nothing more ordinary in holy writ, than to call a common course of men’s actions a way. It is also compared to a... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:15

The term prophets in holy writ is of larger extent than to signify only such as foretold things to come; others also who taught the people, pretending authority from God so to do, were called prophets. Thus Bar-jesus, Acts 13:6, is called a false prophet. A false prophet is of the same significance with a false teacher. Against those our Saviour cautions his hearers, as being the most fatal and dangerous enemies to faith and holiness. Some of them indeed come in sheep’s clothing, under very... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 7:16-20

A proper effect discovereth the cause. Lest his disciples should ask, How shall we distinguish true from false teachers? Our Saviour tells them, By their fruits ye shall know them. Our Saviour sends not his disciples to inquire into the truth of their mission, whether that more internal from God, of which they could not judge, or more external from men, who may err, and send out those whom God never sent; but you shall know them (saith our Saviour) by their faithful or unfaithful discharge of... read more
