Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:45-51

Matthew 24:45-51. Who then is the faithful and wise servant Which of you aspires after this character? Wise Every moment retaining the clearest conviction that all he now has is only intrusted to him as a steward: Faithful Thinking, speaking, and acting continually in a manner suitable to that conviction. Whom his lord hath made ruler over his household This evidently chiefly concerns the ministers of the gospel. See notes on Luke 12:42, &c. Blessed is that servant, &c.... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:32-51

132. A warning to be alert always (Matthew 24:32-51; Mark 13:28-37; Luke 21:29-38)Just as the first leaves on a fig tree indicate that summer is coming, so when the disciples see the false messiahs, the persecution and the approach of the Roman armies, they will know that the destruction of Jerusalem and the Jewish nation is upon them. People of Jesus’ day would see the fulfilment of these things in their own lifetime (Matthew 24:32-35; Luke 21:29-33).As for the day when the Son of man will... read more

"If on the other hand you behave like wicked stewards, who, because their Lord delays his coming, beat their fellow-servants, and get drunk with sots and epicures: if you tyrannize over the consciences of your brethren, neglect the duties of your function, and give yourselves up to sensual pleasures; I will come when you little think of it, and make you dreadful examples ofmy indignation, by the severe... read more

Matthew 24:51. Shall cut him asunder— This was one of the heaviest kinds of punishment anciently used: see 1Sa 15:33. 2 Samuel 12:31.Daniel 2:5; Daniel 2:5; Daniel 3:29. A. Gellius, lib. 20. 100: 1, In the passage first cited we are told that Samuel hewed Agag in pieces; wherefore, as that action proceeded from the greatness of the prophet's indignation, or rather from a knowledge of the divine will, the same punishment inflicted on the slothful, sensual, merciless steward, fitly expresses the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 24:48-51

Other disciples may conclude that Jesus’ delay indicates a postponement of His appearing. This conclusion may lead to their abusing their fellow disciples and their carousing. Jesus’ return will surprise such disciples who will not be ready for it. The fate of such unfaithful and unwise servants will be tragic. Jesus will cut them to pieces, a graphic and hyperbolic description of personal destruction (Matthew 24:51; cf. 1 Samuel 15:33; Hebrews 11:37). [Note: See Pagenkemper, pp. 191-94.] Their... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 24:51

(51) And shall cut him asunder.—Here also, as in the case of the faithful servant, the words have more than one fulfilment. The form of punishment (one which, in its literal sense, belongs to the inventive cruelty of Eastern kings) would seem here to have been chosen for its figurative fitness. The man had been a hypocrite, double-minded, trying to serve two masters, and his Lord, with the sharp sword of judgment, smites through the false, apparent unity of his life, and reveals its... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 24:1-51

The Intrusion of the World Matthew 24:12 No doubt this referred originally to the great crash of the fall of Jerusalem. But one cannot help seeing that the whole prophecy describes rather the constantly recurring features of all epochs of great change affecting the kingdom of heaven than the details of special circumstances attaching to some one event. I. Observe that it is more inside the Church that iniquity is said to abound. There may be a fair amount of morality and obedience in the... read more
