馬太福音 4:10-14 RCUVTS

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:12

Now, when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison ,.... John was cast into prison by Herod; the reason of it may be seen in Matthew 14:3 . The prison into which he was cast, according to Josephus F19 Antiq. l. 18. c. 7. , was the castle of Machaeras: here he continued some time before he was put to death; for from hence he sent two disciples to Jesus, to know if he was the Messiah, Matthew 11:2 . Now when Jesus heard of this his imprisonment, he departed into Galilee ;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:13

And leaving Nazareth ,.... Where he was educated, and had lived many years together; and where he preached first to the good liking of the people, who wondered at the gracious words that proceeded out of his mouth : though afterwards they were so much displeased with him, that they thrust him out of their city; and intended to have destroyed him, by casting him down headlong from the brow of an hill; and which seems to be the reason of his leaving this city; see Luke 4:16 he came... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:14-15

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken ,.... Christ's dwelling in Capernaum accomplished a prophecy of the prophet Isaiah 9:1 and he went and dwelt there, that it might be fulfilled which he had spoken: the meaning of which prophecy is F24 See my treatise upon the "Prophecies of the Messiah", &c.; p. 147, &c.; , that as those parts of the land of Israel, there mentioned, had suffered much by Tiglathpileser, who had carried them captive, 2 Kings 15:29 and is "the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:10

Get thee hence - Or, behind me, οπισω μου . This is added by a multitude of the best MSS., Versions, and Fathers. This temptation savoring of nothing but diabolical impudence, Jesus did not treat it as the others; but, with Divine authority, commanded the tempter to return to his own place. In the course of this trial, it appears that our blessed Lord was tempted, 1st. To Distrust. Command these stones to become bread. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:11

Behold, angels came and ministered unto him - That is, brought that food which was necessary to support nature. The name given to Satan in the third verse is very emphatic, ο πειραζων , the tempter, or trier, from πειρω , to pierce through. To this import of the name there seems to be an allusion, Ephesians 6:16 ; : The fiery Darts of the wicked one. This is the precise idea of the word in Deuteronomy 8:2 . To humble thee, and to prove thee, To Know What Was In Thy Heart: לנסתך ... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:13

And leaving Nazareth - Or, entirely leaving Nazareth, και καταλιπων την Ναζαρετ , from κατα , intensive, and Δειπω , I leave. It seems that, from this time, our blessed Lord made Capernaum his ordinary place of residence; and utterly forsook Nazareth, because they had wholly rejected his word, and even attempted to take away his life. See Luke 4:29 . Galilee was bounded by mount Lebanon on the north, by the river Jordan and the sea of Galilee on the east, by Chison on the south,... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:10

Verse 10 10.Depart, Satan. Instead of this, Luke has, Depart behind me, Satan. There is no use for speculating about the phrase, behind me, which Christ addressed to Peter, Go behind me, (Matthew 16:23,) as if the same words had not been addressed to Satan. Christ simply bids him go away; (315) and now proceeds with the same kind of defense as before, employing Scripture as a shield, not of reeds, but of brass. He quotes a passage from the law, that God alone is to be adored and worshipped,... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:11

Verse 11 11.Then the devil leaveth him. Luke expresses more: when all the temptation had been finished. This means, that no truce or relaxation was granted to Christ, till he had been fully tried by every species of contest. He adds, that Christ was left for a season only. This is intended to inform us, that the rest of his life was not entirely free from temptations, but that God restrained the power of Satan, so that Christ was not unseasonably disturbed by him. In like manner, God usually... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:12

Verse 12 Matthew 4:12.When Jesus had heard. These words appear to be at variance with the narrative of the Evangelist John, who declares, that John and Christ discharged the office of public teachers at the same time. But we have to observe, that our three Evangelists pass over in silence that short space of time, because John’s course was not yet completed, and because that course was intended to be a preparation for receiving the Gospel of Christ. And, in point of fact, though Christ... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:13

Verse 13 13.And having left Nazareth I have thought it proper to introduce this passage of Matthew, immediately after Luke’s narrative, which we have just examined; because we may gather from the context that, as Christ had hitherto been wont to frequent the town of Nazareth, so, in order to avoid danger, he now bade a final adieu to it, and dwelt in Capernaum and the neighboring towns. There would be no difficulty in this history, were it not that there is some appearance, as if Matthew had... read more
