The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 17:23

Shall be raised again ( ἐγερθη ì σεται ); be wakened . This was always a subject of perplexity; and indeed, according to the other synoptists, "they understood not the saying; it was hid from them, and they perceived it not, and were afraid to ask him." Were exceeding sorry. They no longer rebuke him, as Peter had done ( Matthew 16:22 ), or try to divert him from his purpose; they begin to realize the position, and to anticipate with poignant sorrow the overthrow of their... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 17:23

Hints concerning the coming Resurrection. "The third day he shall be raised again." Our Lord tried to prepare his disciples for his resurrection by frequent allusions to it, and yet they never seemed to be able to take it into their souls. Perhaps they thought he was only speaking in his usual figurative and paradoxical way, though what he really meant they were unable to guess. The disciples would not allow themselves to contemplate their Lord's violent death; and they could not else to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 17:22

And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be delivered up into the hands of men; and they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised up. And they were exceeding sorry.THE SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT OF JESUS' PASSIONOne additional and very significant detail is added by this recapitulation of the prophecy of his Passion. That is that he would be "delivered up," or "betrayed" as the word is translated in Matthew 10:4 (English Revised Version (1885)... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 17:22

Matthew 17:22. And while they abode in Galilee— It should seem that the wonder of the discipleswasaccompaniedwith proportionably high expectations of happiness in that temporal kingdom, which they were now convinced Jesus could easily erect. Our Lord, knowing this, thought fit when they came to Galilee, the country where he had the greatest train of followers, to moderate his disciples' ambition, not only by concealing himself for awhile, forbearing to preach and work miracles as he returned... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 17:22

22. And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them—Mark ( :-), as usual, is very precise here: "And they departed thence"—that is, from the scene of the last miracle—"and passed through Galilee; and He would not that any man should know it." So this was not a preaching, but a private, journey through Galilee. Indeed, His public ministry in Galilee was now all but concluded. Though He sent out the Seventy after this to preach and heal, He Himself was little more in public there, and He... read more

3. Instruction about the King’s principles 17:14-27Jesus’ instruction of His disciples in view of the King’s coming death and resurrection and the kingdom’s postponement continued. Jesus had taught them about His person (Matthew 16:13-17) and His program (Matthew 16:18 to Matthew 17:13). He now taught them principles that clarified His work and His person further. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 17:22

Matthew’s reference to time was general. All the disciples were again with Jesus in Galilee. Jesus introduced the subject of His passion again, which the Transfiguration and the events that had followed it had interrupted.Jesus’ statement was direct, but it was also somewhat ambiguous. The Greek word paradidosthai means either "to hand over" or "to betray" depending on the context, which is no help here. Furthermore this verb is in the passive tense so the perpetrator of this action, whomever... read more
