馬太福音 8:5 CUNPTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:5-13

A soldier's faith. We pass at once from the miserable leper to the Roman officer. Both have faith in Christ, and in their faith they possess much in common. Yet the centurion has interesting traits of his own. Faith takes different forms according to the character and habit of mind of those in whom it shows itself. Something special is revealed in this soldier's faith. I. IT IS INSPIRED BY KINDNESS OF HEART . The centurion seeks no favour for himself. He is troubled about... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:5-13

The centurion. We take this to be the centurion also mentioned by Luke (7.). The points of agreement in the narratives are too remarkable and too numerous to be taken to apply to separate persons. The narratives are harmonized upon the principle of personation common in the sacred writings (see e.g. 2 Samuel 1:15 compared with 2 Samuel 4:10 , and Acts 9:23 , Acts 9:24 with 2 Corinthians 11:32 ). Let us consider the centurion's faith and its reward. I. HIS FAITH , 1 . ... read more

Miracles at Capernaum. I. HEALING OF THE CENTURION 'S SERVANT . 1 . The centurion. He was a soldier and a Gentile; he had been brought up in heathenism, and had lived among the temptations inseparable from a military life. His example and that of Cornelius show us that there were devout men among Gentile soldiers, as there are many good Christian men among soldiers now. Temptations may be great, but the grace of God is greater; we can serve him acceptably in any lawful... read more

Capernaum - See the notes at Matthew 4:13.There came unto him a centurion - A centurion was the commander of 100 men in the Roman armies. Judea was a Roman province, and garrisons were kept there to preserve the people in subjection. This man was probably by birth a pagan. See Matthew 8:10. read more

Matthew 8:5. There came unto him a centurion A captain of a hundred Roman soldiers, in Herod’s pay; saying, My servant lieth sick of the palsy, grievously tormented Or, afflicted, as the word βασανιζομενος often signifies. Palsies are not attended with torment. Jesus saith, I will come and heal him Thus showing both his kindness, and how acceptable to him the humanity of this centurion to his servant was. The centurion answered, Lord, I am not worthy, &c. That is, he... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:5-13

BACK IN GALILEE48. Centurion’s servant; widow’s son (Matthew 8:5-13; Luke 7:1-17)Back in Capernaum, a Roman centurion asked Jesus to heal one of his servants who was dying. However, he did not expect Jesus to come to his house. Being an army officer, he operated in a system of authority where he needed only to give a command and it was carried out. He believed that Jesus carried the authority of God, and he needed only to say the word and the servant would be healed (Matthew 8:5-9; Luke... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 8:5

And when he was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him.This wonder is mentioned at greater length by Luke (Luke 7:1-10); and, of the so-called discrepancies, it may be said that there are none when proper allowance is made for the common practice of ascribing to one person the deeds he actually did through an agent, or the omission of details, or addition of details, by one narrator as compared with another. Such things are the only sure evidences of independent... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 8:5

Matthew 8:5. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum— St. Luke has related this part of the evangelical history more at large than St. Matthew.The whole may be thus connected: Jesus, having finished his sermon on the mount, as soon as he came down thence, to shew that his words and doctrines pertained both to the Jews and Gentiles, performed two miracles; the one for a Jew, a leper who came to him, the other for a Gentile, a centurion or Roman commander of a hundred soldiers, who was... read more
