John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:33

Peter answered and said unto him ,.... Who was always a forward man, free to speak his mind, and was often the mouth of the rest; observing what Christ had affirmed concerning all of them, that that very night, in a very short space of time, they would be offended because of him; and knowing the strong love he had for Christ, and being persuaded it could never be his case, thus addresses him, though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended : his sense is,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:34

Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee ,.... Christ, the more strongly to asseverate what he was about to say, uses the word verily, or prefixes his "Amen" to it, as being a certain truth, and what Peter might assure himself of would certainly come to pass: that this night before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice ; which is, as if he should say, thou wilt not only be offended because of me, and flee from me, and be scattered with the rest, as will be the case of all of you;... read more

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

As they were eating - Either an ordinary supper, or the paschal lamb, as some think. See the observations at the end of this chapter. Jesus took bread - Of what kind? Unleavened bread, certainly, because there was no other kind to be had in all Judea at this time; for this was the first day of unleavened bread, ( Matthew 26:17 ;), i.e. the 14th of the month Nisan, when the Jews, according to the command of God, ( Exodus 12:15-20 ; Exodus 23:15 ; Exodus 34:25 ;), were to purge... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:27

And he took the cup - Μετα το δειπνησαι , after having supped, Luke 22:20 , and 1 Corinthians 11:25 . Whether the supper was on the paschal lamb, or whether it was a common or ordinary meal, I shall not wait here to inquire: see at the end of this chapter. In the parallel place, in Luke 22, we find our Lord taking the cup, Luke 22:17 , and again Luke 22:19 ; by the former of which was probably meant the cup of blessing, הברכה כוס kos haberakah , which the master of a family... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:28

For this is my blood of the New Testament - This is the reading both here and in St. Mark; but St. Luke and St. Paul say, This cup is the New Testament in my blood. This passage has been strangely mistaken: by New Testament, many understand nothing more than the book commonly known by this name, containing the four Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, apostolical Epistles, and book of the Revelation; and they think that the cup of the New Testament means no more than merely that cup which the book... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:29

I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine - These words seem to intimate no more than this: We shall not have another opportunity of eating this bread and drinking this wine together; as in a few hours my crucifixion shall take place. Until that day when I drink it new with you - That is, I shall no more drink of the produce of the vine with you; but shall drink new wine - wine of a widely different nature from this - a wine which the kingdom of God alone can afford. The term... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:30

And when they had sung a hymn - Υμνησαντες means, probably, no more than a kind of recitative reading or chanting. As to the hymn itself, we know, from the universal consent of Jewish antiquity, that it was composed of Psalm 113:1-9 , Psalm 114:1-8 , 115, 116, Psalm 117:1-2 , and 118, termed by the Jews הלל halel , from הללו־יה halelu - yah , the first word in Psalm 113:1-9 . These six Psalms were always sung at every paschal solemnity. They sung this great hillel on... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:31

All ye shall be offended - Or rather, Ye will all be stumbled - παντες υμεις σκανδαλισθησεσθε - ye will all forsake me, and lose in a great measure your confidence in me. This night - The time of trial is just at hand. I will smite the shepherd - It will happen to you as to a flock of sheep, whose shepherd has been slain - the leader and guardian being removed, the whole flock shall be scattered, and be on the point of becoming a prey to ravenous beasts. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:32

But after I am risen again - Don't lose your confidence; for though I shall appear for a time to be wholly left to wicked men, and be brought under the power of death, yet I will rise again, and triumph over all your enemies and mine. I will go before you - Still alluding to the case of the shepherd and his sheep. Though the shepherd has been smitten and the sheep scattered, the shepherd shall revive again, collect the scattered flock, and go before them, and lead them to peace,... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:33

Peter - said unto him, Though all men shall be offended - yet will I never - The presumptuous person imagines he can do every thing, and can do nothing: thinks he can excel all, and excels in nothing: promises every thing, and performs nothing. The humble man acts a quite contrary part. There is nothing we know so little of as ourselves - nothing we see less of than our own weakness and poverty. The strength of pride is only for a moment. Peter, though vainly confident, was certainly sincere... read more
