马太福音 23:39 RCUVSS

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 23:39

Ye shall not see me ... - The day of your mercy is gone by. I have offered you protection and salvation, and you have rejected it. You are about to crucify me, and your temple to be destroyed, and you, as a nation, to be given up to long and dreadful suffering. You will not see me as a merciful Saviour, offering you redemption any more, until you have borne these heavy judgments. They must come upon you, and be borne, until you would be glad to hail a deliverer, and say, Blessed is he that... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 23:38-39

Matthew 23:38-39. Behold, your house The temple, which is now your house, not God’s; is left unto you desolate Forsaken of God and his Christ, and sentenced to utter destruction. Our Lord spake this as he was going out of it for the last time. For I say unto you Ye Jews in general, ye men of Jerusalem in particular; shall not see me henceforth Απ ’ αρτι , hereafter, as the words signify, Matthew 26:64; till After a long interval of desolation and misery, Ye shall say, Blessed, ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 23:1-39

129. More about scribes and Pharisees (Matthew 23:1-39; Mark 12:38-40; Luke 20:45-47)Instead of teaching only the law of Moses, the scribes and Pharisees added countless laws of their own. Instead of making the people’s load lighter, they made it heavier. People could profit from listening to the scribes’ teaching of Moses’ law, but they were not to copy the scribes’ behaviour (Matthew 23:1-4).Jesus gave two specific reasons for his condemnation of the scribes. First, they wanted to make a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 23:39

For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.Some believe that this verse refers to the ultimate acceptance of Christ as the Messiah on the part of the Jews of some subsequent age, basing it upon Paul's words in Romans 11; but, although such a possibility might be allowed, it is the view here that no such prophecy was intended in this place. On the other hand, the exact opposite seems indicated by this emphatic... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 23:39

Matthew 23:39. Henceforth— Απ αρτι, hereafter. "Because you have killed the prophets, and endeavoured to stone me, whom the Father hath sent unto you; because your great men are at this moment plotting against me, who am the Lord of the temple; and because you will assist them in putting me to death; your temple shall be desolate: it shall never be favoured with my presence any more. Nay, your nation shall be deserted by me; For you shall not see me henceforth, &c." In the capacity of a... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 23:39

39. For I say unto you—and these were His last words to the impenitent nation, see on :-, opening remarks. Ye shall not see me henceforth—What? Does Jesus mean that He was Himself the Lord of the temple, and that it became "deserted" when HE finally left it? It is even so. Now is thy fate sealed, O Jerusalem, for the glory is departed from thee! That glory, once visible in the holy of holies, over the mercy seat, when on the day of atonement the blood of typical expiation was sprinkled on it... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 23:37-39

3. Jesus’ lamentation over Jerusalem 23:37-39 (cf. Luke 13:34-35)This lamentation should help us realize that the judgment Jesus just announced in such strong language was not something that delighted Him. It broke His heart. This is also clear in that He personalized the people in Jerusalem in these verses; Jesus spoke of the city as many people, not as an impersonal thing. He also spoke here as Israel’s Savior, not just a prophet but God Himself. These three verses are Jesus’ last public... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 23:39

Jesus quoted Psalms 118:26 (cf. Matthew 21:9). He was referring to His return to the temple in power and great glory when He returns at His second coming, not to some return to the temple before His ascension. The negative is very strong in the Greek text (ou me). When He returns, all will acknowledge Him instead of rejecting Him (cf. Zechariah 12:10). Moreover He will come in judgment (cf. Matthew 24:30-31; Philippians 2:9-11; Revelation 1:7)."It is extremely important for one to note that... read more
