Matthew 21:13. But ye have made it a den of thieves— The Jews, reckoning the lower and outer court of the temple as a place of no sanctity, because it was designed for accommodatingthe Gentile proselytes in their worship, not only kept the daily market there, of such things as were necessary in offering sacrifices, but suffered the common porters, in going from one part of the city to another, to pass through it with their burdens, for the sake of shortening their way: but as these abuses... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 21:14-16
Matthew 21:14-16. And the blind and the lame came to him, &c.— The opinion that Jesus was the Messiah now prevailed generally; for, while he was in the temple, the blind and the lame, and other diseased persons, were brought to him from all quarters, to be healed. Many such, no doubt, would be waiting in the several avenues of the temple to ask alms, at a time when there was so vast a concourse of people; and there seems a peculiar propriety in our Lord's multiplying these astonishing... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 21:1-17
B. Jesus’ presentation of Himself to Israel as her King 21:1-17Jesus came to Jerusalem to present Himself formally to the leaders of Israel as the nation’s Messiah. He did this when He entered Jerusalem as Isaiah and Zechariah predicted Messiah would appear."Jesus entered Jerusalem for the last time in a manner which showed that He was none other than the Messiah, the Son of David, who was coming to Sion to claim the city as His own." [Note: Tasker, p.197.] The events Matthew recorded in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 21:10-11
Jesus probably entered Jerusalem through the sheep gate (St. Stephen’s gate, a name given to it after Stephen’s martyrdom; cf. Acts 7:58). This gate pierced the eastern city wall to the north of the temple enclosure. Worshippers brought sheep into the city through this gate for sacrificing because it was the closest gate to the temple. It was fitting that the Lamb of God should enter Jerusalem through this gate. Jesus’ entrance into Jerusalem became the popular topic of conversation (cf.... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 21:12
The Mosaic Law required that the Jews pay a half-shekel temple tax, which they paid in temple coinage (cf. Matthew 17:24-27). To accommodate out of town pilgrims, the religious leaders set up currency exchange tables in the large temple courtyard. There people with Greek and Roman money could obtain the required Tyrian currency. The religious leaders also accommodated worshippers by selling animals used in the offerings of Judaism there. Thus the temple courtyard had come to resemble an outdoor... read more

3. Jesus’ entrance into the temple 21:12-17 (cf. Mark 11:11 b, Mark 11:15-18; Luke 19:45-48)Matthew stressed Jesus’ cleansing of the temple as the work of David’s Son (Matthew 21:9; Matthew 21:15). This activity had great messianic significance. [Note: See the diagrams of Jerusalem and Herod’s Temple at the end of these notes.] read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 21:13
Jesus explained why He was doing what He did to the authorities. He quoted Scripture here similarly to the way He did in replying to Satan (Matthew 4:1-10). First, He referred to Isaiah 56:7, a passage in which Isaiah looked forward to a time when the temple would be a house of prayer. Significantly Matthew omitted "for all the peoples" from Isaiah’s statement focusing his readers’ attention on Israel as the target of Jesus’ ministry still. Second, Jesus referred to Jeremiah 7:11, a... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 21:11
Matthew 21:11. And the multitude said, This is Jesus, &c.— The multitude is the appellation which the sacred historians commonly give to Christ'sfriends; wherefore, as they are here said to have called him the prophet of Nazareth of Galilee, we may suppose that they did it with a view to mortify his enemies; as if they had said, "You have always affirmed that no prophet, no Messiah, can arise out of Galilee: what is your opinion now?"—Jesus rode directly to the temple,but did not drive the... read more
