マタイの福音書 27:65-66 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:65

Ye have a watch ( ἐ ì χετε κουστωδι ì αν , take a guard ) . Pilate answers briefly and haughtily, "Well, I give permission; do as you like; take a body of soldiers as a guard, and go your way. " This last verb is imperative, so the former is most probably imperative also. If taken as indicative, the question arises—What guard had they? This is difficult to answer, unless, as Alford supposes, it may refer to some detachment placed at their disposal during the feast. But of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 27:66

So they ( οἱδε Ì , and they ) went. They left the procurator's presence, relieved at having gained their request and precluded all fear of collusion. Sealing the stone, and setting a watch ( μετα Ì τῆς κουστωδι ì ας , with the watch ; cum custodibus ) . The last words are variously rendered. Thus: "scaled the stone by means of the watch" (Alford); "scaling the stone, the guard being with them" (Revised Version); "as well as having the watch" (Webster and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 27:65

Ye have a watch - The Jews had a guard of Roman soldiers, who kept watch in the tower of Antonia, on the northwest of the temple. Pilate either referred to these, or to the “watch” that attended the crucifixion - the whole “band” that had been appointed for that. As the torments of crucifixion sometimes lasted many days, the band had been probably granted to them during that time, and they were therefore still at the direction of the chief priests. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 27:66

Sealing the stone - The sepulchre was made sure by affixing the large stone to the entrance in such a way that it could not be removed without detection. It was sealed. In what way this was done cannot now be certainly told. The cave in which Daniel was cast was fastened in the same manner, and sealed with the king’s signet Daniel 6:17, perhaps by fastening the stone in its place with cords, and bringing them together and uniting them with wax, and impressing on that the seal of the king. In... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 27:62-66

Matthew 27:62-66. Now the next day; the day that followed the day of the preparation That is, after the sun was set, for the Jewish day began then. The day of preparation was the day before the sabbath, whereon they were to prepare for the celebration of it. The next day, then, (namely, Saturday,) was the sabbath, according to the Jews. But the evangelist seems to express it by this circumlocution, to show that the Jewish sabbath was then abolished. The chief priests, &c., came... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:57-66

160. The burial (Matthew 27:57-66; Mark 15:42-47; Luke 23:50-56; John 19:38-42)Two members of the Sanhedrin did not agree with the decision to crucify Jesus. They were Nicodemus (cf. John 3:1-12; John 7:45-52) and Joseph, the latter being a man from the Judean town of Arimathea. Joseph, like many rich people, had built a fine tomb to be used one day for himself, but he sacrificed it so that Jesus could have an honourable burial. The two men took the body down from the cross late on the Friday... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 27:65

Pilate said unto them, Ye have a guard: go, make it as sure as ye can.Whether intended or not is unknown, but Pilate's words bear the interpretation that he was doubtful if the resurrection could be prevented! It seems that Pilate half-expected the Lord to rise from the dead, an attitude of mind which is fully in harmony with all the tremendous events of that great day in human history. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 27:66

So they went, and made the sepulchres sure, sealing the stone, the guard being with them.Thus Christ was sealed in the grave, the guard posted, and the Pharisees settled down to enjoy their imagined triumph. The sabbath, whether the high sabbath of the Passover or the ordinary weekly sabbath, would find the Lord sleeping in his grave. The victory of evil was apparently complete and irrevocable. The sadness and discouragement that descended upon the disciples can only be imagined. The entire... read more
