F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 2:1-99

Matthew 2 THE OPENING VERSES of chapter 2 throw a strong and searching light upon the conditions that prevailed in those days amongst the Jews found in Jerusalem, the descendants of those who had returned under Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah. The King of the Jews was born in Bethlehem and yet for weeks they knew nothing about it. That Herod the king should be in ignorance was not at all surprising, for he was no Israelite but an Idumean. But of all people the chief priests should have been... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 2:1

The Wise Men from the East. v. 1. Now when Jesus was born In Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of Herod the king. The transition which the evangelist employs fitly connects the narrative of the circumstances surrounding the birth of the Savior with the story of the adoration of the Magi. It is an account of the "reception given by the world to the new-born Messianic king. Homage from afar, hostility at home; foreshadowing the fortunes of the new faith: acceptance by the Gentiles, rejection by... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 2:1-8

the Wise-Men Follow the Star Matthew 2:1-8 The expectation of the advent of a great king was far-spread at the time of the Nativity. It was probably founded, so far as the East was concerned, on the prophecies of Balaam and Daniel. See Numbers 24:17 ; Daniel 7:13-14 . There are evidences of the same expectation in the classic literature of the West. Our Lord was the desire of all nations; and the corruption and anarchy of the Roman Empire made the longing still more intense. God comes to men... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 2:1-23

The Kingdom was not ready for the King, so a reception for Him was not arranged and organized by those who should have been waiting for Him. They were in rebellion. The King's advent was heralded by a star, and a few subject souls of a nation other than the chosen were guided by it to the King, and, notwithstanding the poverty of His earthly surroundings, they poured out their gifts-gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The underworld of evil was moved to its center, and found vent through the false... read more

How the First Christmas was Celebrated Matthew 2:1-12 INTRODUCTORY WORDS By way of introduction we are going to read a poem named "The Christmas Story" which was written several years ago. It is appropriate to the occasion, and to the theme. THE CHRISTMAS STORY In the vaulted skies of glory, Long before earth's ancient morn; There began this Christmas story, Christ was given to be born. In the garden, in the gloaming, God stepped forth with stately mien; Man had sinned, his God... read more

THE GOODNESS OF CHRIST‘Behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.’ Matthew 2:1 Let us try to see what the Story of the Magi is meant to teach us. I. Christ’s condescension.—In the largeness of the plan of His salvation, Christ not only breaks over all the narrow notions of national, family, and social prejudice, but He permits every heart to come to Him, in spite of its imperfections and errors, by the best light and the best feeling it has. These astrologers were all wrong about... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:1-2

‘Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east (or ‘at its rising’), and are come to pay him homage.” Matthew makes quite clear here that he is dealing with what he sees as historical facts. He could not have made it more obvious. If he did not believe that it really happened then here he was being deceitful. He declares that Jesus was... read more

Analysis (2:1-11). a When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem, saying, “Where is he who is born King of the Jews? for we saw his star in the east, and are come to pay him homage” (Matthew 2:1-2). b And when Herod the king heard it, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

SECTION 2. THE BIRTH AND RISE OF JESUS THE MESSIAH (THE CHRIST) (1:18-4:25). In this section, following the introduction, Matthew reveals the greatness of Jesus the Christ.
