Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:10
10. Four thousand It is plain, from the references in these two verses to the miracles of feeding both the four thousand and the five thousand, that they were intended to be narrated as two independent transactions. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:12
12. Doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees Their rejection of His miracles, their ascription of His mighty power to Satan, and their cavilling demands for a sign from heaven. These principles were very likely to infect the minds of the disciples with scepticism. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:13
13. When Jesus came Jesus was now on the southeastern side of Lake Gennesaret. He moves, on the east side, northward, and at Bethsaida Julias cures a stammerer. (Mark 8:22-26.) Thence he moves up along the banks of the narrowing and rapid Jordan, toward its sources at the northeastern corner of the Holy Land.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:13-19
§ 73. THE ENDOWMENT OF THE APOSTOLIC COLLEGE WITH THE KEYS, Matthew 16:13-19 . Our Saviour’s ministry has now drawn to its zenith. He has exhibited his character and laid his lessons before his disciples. He has trained them so that while the rest of the world is in wonder and doubt about him, expressing its various conjectures, they will be ready to confess him clearly and solidly to be the Christ.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:15
15. Whom say ye Now comes the important question for which the whole occasion is appointed. Observe, the question is put to them all and not to Peter alone. It is, “Whom say YE?” not whom sayest thou? The disciples as an entire body have, thus far, been concerned. As this question is put to them all, of course the answerer, Peter, is simply the spokesman or representative of them all. He is the foreman of the jury, who answers the Judge and pronounces the verdict for all the rest;... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:16
16. Simon Peter answered As the senior apostle, and so, on the present occasion, the representative of the whole. This supposes a prominence, but not the primacy over the rest.

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:17
17. Blessed art thou Highest of blessings, to be the confessor and apostle of the Son of God. Bar-jonah Son of Jonah. Spoken simply as a matter of solemn emphasis. Flesh and blood Mere frail humanity, whether of himself or others. Our Lord had already thanked his Father that while he hid these things from the wise and prudent he had revealed them unto babes. See note on Matthew 11:25. No wisdom of man, therefore, but the guidance of God, had made him an apostle and revealed the... read more
