馬太福音 16:25 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 16:25-26

The gain that is loss, and the loss that is gain. Great confusion has been introduced into these verses in the Authorized Version by the rendering of the same Greek word as "life" in Matthew 16:25 , and "soul" in Matthew 16:26 . The Revisers have helped to a better understanding of the passage by translating the word "life" throughout. Christ was not speaking of the soul as we understand it, of the higher nature of man; but of life as opposed to the idea of being killed and so losing... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 16:25-28

Profit and loss. As the time of the brief ministry of Jesus drew to its close, he began to show his disciples how he must go to Jerusalem and suffer and be killed, and rise again the third day. The sombre part of this anticipation was a terrible shock to the strong Jewish prejudices of Peter; and he lost sight of the glorious element of the resurrection. So is prejudice blind evermore. He had. the presumption to take Jesus to task, and stoutly protested against any such issue. For this... read more

Matthew 16:25-27. Whosoever will save his life At the expense of his conscience: whosoever, in the very highest instance, that of life itself, will not renounce himself, shall be lost eternally. But can any man hope he should be able thus to renounce himself, if he cannot do it in the smallest instances? And whosoever will lose his life, shall find it What he loses on earth he shall find in heaven. See note on Matthew 10:39, where this sentence is explained more at large. For what is... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:24-28

74. Test of true discipleship (Matthew 16:24-28; Mark 8:34-9:1; Luke 9:23-27)Immediately after telling his disciples of his coming suffering and death, Jesus told them they had to be prepared for similar treatment. The disciples of Jesus are those who have given their lives to Jesus, and they will be obedient to their master even if it leads to hardship, persecution and death. They will no longer rule their own lives, but will deny themselves personal desires in order to please Jesus. In... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 16:25

For whosoever shall save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.What emperor or general ever announced a proposition like that? These words forcibly imply, even demand, an understanding that Christ is God. Only God could make good on such a promise. Origen said:If anyone, as being a lover of life, and thinking that the present life is good, tends carefully his own life with a view to living in the flesh, ... this man ... will lose it, placing it... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 16:24-27

The cost and reward of discipleship 16:24-27 (cf. Mark 8:34-38; Luke 9:23-26)Jesus proceeded to clarify the way of discipleship. He had just explained what was involved in messiahship, and now He explained what is involved in discipleship. In view of Jesus’ death, His disciples, as well as He, would have to die to self. However, they could rejoice in the assurance that the kingdom would come eventually. Glory would follow suffering. Interestingly this was one of Peter’s main emphases in his... read more
