马太福音 13:17 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:16-17

Parallel passage: Luke 10:23 , Luke 10:24 , after the return of the seventy, and immediately following our Matthew 11:25 , Matthew 11:27 . The verses stand there, that is to say, in close connexion with the other great utterance contrasting God's revelation of spiritual things to some and his hiding them from others. Possibly he spoke the verses only once (cf. the repetitions in the Prophets), but, in view of the frequency with which Christ's utterances are placed out of their original... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:17

For verily ( Matthew 5:18 , note). Not in the parallel passage; it is much more common in Matthew than Luke. Our Lord contrasts his disciples' "blessedness" not only with the state of their contemporaries, but with that of their predecessors in faith. I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men. Those who were specially favoured with insight into God's methods, and those who approached most closely to his standard of righteousness. Righteous men ; "kings" in Luke. St.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 13:17

Christians enjoying what prophets desired. They who truly receive the teaching of Christ and profit by it enjoy privileges which prophets and righteous men longed for in vain. I. THE PROPHETS ' DESIRES . The saints and seers of antiquity were not satisfied with the revelations made to them and the favour bestowed upon them. They looked forward to a glorious future when fuller light should appear, and when greater works of heavenly power should be accomplished. Let us consider the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 13:10-17

Christ, in these verses, gives a “reason” why he used this manner of instruction. See also Mark 4:10-12; Luke 8:9-10.Matthew 13:11The mysteries of the kingdom - The word “mystery,” in the Bible, properly means a thing that is “concealed,” or that “has been concealed.” It does not mean that the thing was “incomprehensible,” or even difficult to be understood.The thing might be “plain” enough if revealed, but it means simply that it “had” not been before made known. Thus the “mysteries of the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 13:16-17

Matthew 13:16-17. But blessed are your eyes, &c. For you both see and hear, and understand. You have not only greater opportunities of instruction than others, but you both know how to prize, and are concerned to improve them. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets Who prophesied of the coming of the Messiah; and righteous men To whom God familiarly showed himself, and made known his will, as he did to Abraham and the patriarchs; and many kings, Luke 10:24; from whose seed... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 13:1-23

PARABLES54. The sower (Matthew 13:1-23; Mark 4:1-29; Luke 8:1-18)To visit all the towns of Galilee was a huge task. Jesus and his disciples were helped in this work by a group of women who went with them to look after their daily needs (Luke 8:1-3). Crowds of people came to see Jesus wherever he went, and were often a hindrance to the progress of the gospel. It seems that one reason Jesus began to teach extensively in parables was to separate those who were genuinely interested from those who... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 13:17

For verily I say unto you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things which ye see, and saw them not; and to hear the things which ye hear, and heard them not.Here, as in Matthew 13:11, above, Christ referred to the hidden nature of God's eternal purpose for man's salvation. Paul frequently wrote of this, and a more particular attention to that "mystery" can be quite rewarding.The New Testament refers to these mysteries:The mystery of Christ and his church (Ephesians 6:32)... read more

17. For verily I say unto you, That many prophets and righteous men have desired—rather, "coveted." to see those things which ye see, and have not seen them; and to hear those things which ye hear, and have not heard them—Not only were the disciples blessed above the blinded just spoken of, but favored above the most honored and the best that lived under the old economy, who had but glimpses of the things of the new kingdom, just sufficient to kindle in them desires not to be fulfilled to any... read more
