John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:52

Then said Jesus unto him ,.... That is, unto Peter, put up again thy sword into its place , or sheath. This Christ said not only to rebuke Peter for his rashness, but to soften the minds of the multitude, who must be enraged at such an action; and which was still more effectually done by his healing the man's ear: and indeed, had it not been for these words, and this action of Christ's; and more especially had it not been owing to the powerful influence Christ had over the spirits of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:53

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father ,.... Meaning, if he thought proper, or that there was any necessity for it, or that he was desirous of being rescued out of such hands he was falling into. This must be understood of him as man: for, as God, the angels were his creatures and ministering servants, whom he had the command of himself, and so had no need, as such, to pray to his Father to detach a number of them to his assistance, and which, as man, he could only want, And he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:54

But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled ,.... That is, should Christ make such a request to his Father, and he should grant it, and an host of angels should be sent to rescue him, and he should be rescued by them; how then should the Scriptures, which speak of Christ's being taken, and led as a lamb to the slaughter, and of his various sufferings, and the circumstances of them, have their accomplishment? "declaring", as the Arabic version supplies, or as the Ethiopic version, "which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:55

In that same hour said Jesus to the multitude ,.... That is, to the heads and chief of them, the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, as Luke says, Luke 22:52 , for though it was in the dead of the night, and the company such, as they would not have chose to have been seen in at another time; yet so intent were they upon this affair, that they could not satisfy themselves without being in it, and seeing the issue of it; and this the Jews themselves confirm in their account;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:56

But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled ,.... Some have thought these to be the words of the evangelist, making this remark upon what was said and done; but by what both Mark and Luke record, Mark 14:49 , they appear to be the words of Christ himself; who observes this, partly to make himself, as man, easy under the treatment he met with; and partly, to fortify the minds of his disciples against offence at it; and also to throw conviction, or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:57

And they that had laid hold on Jesus ,.... Who were the band, and the captain, and the officers of the Jews, as John 18:12 , or as the Jews themselves say F17 Toldos Jesu, p. 16, 17. , the elders of Jerusalem; who not only laid fast hold on him, but bound him; and that both for greater security of him, some of them perhaps knowing how he had made his escape from them formerly; or at least taking the hint from Judas, to hold him fast, and lead him away safely; and by way of reproach... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:47

Judas, one of the twelve - More deeply to mark his base ingratitude and desperate wickedness - He was One of the Twelve - and he is a Traitor, and one of the vilest too that ever disgraced human nature. A great multitude with swords and staves - They did not come as officers of justice, but as a desperate mob. Justice had nothing to do in this business. He who a little before had been one of the leaders of the flock of Christ is now become the leader of ruffians and murderers! What a... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:48

Gave them a sign - How coolly deliberate is this dire apostate! The man whom I shall kiss - how deeply hypocritical! That is he, hold him fast, seize him - how diabolically malicious! Hail, Master - A usual compliment among the Jews. Judas pretends to wish our Lord continued health while he is meditating his destruction! How many compliments of this kind are there in the world! Judas had a pattern in Joab, who, while he pretends to inquire tenderly for the health of Amasa, thrust him... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:50

Jesus said - Friend - Rather, companion, εταιρε , (not Friend), wherefore, rather, against whom ( εφ ' ὃ , the reading of all the best MSS.) art thou come? How must these words have cut his very soul, if he had any sensibility left! Surely, thou, who hast so long been my companion, art not come against me, thy Lord, Teacher and Friend! What is the human heart not capable of, when abandoned by God, and influenced by Satan and the love of money! Laid hands on Jesus - But not before... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:51

One of them which were with Jesus - This was Peter - struck a servant of the high priest's, the servant's name was Malchus, John 18:10 , and smote off his ear. In Luke 22:51 , it is said, Jesus touched and healed it. Here was another miracle, and striking proof of the Divinity of Christ. Peter did not cut the ear, merely, he cut it Off, αφειλεν . Now to heal it, Jesus must either take up the ear and put it on again, or else create a new one - either of these was a miracle, which... read more
