マタイによる福音書 9:30 JC

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 9:29-31

Perhaps Jesus touched the eyes of the blind men to help them associate Him with their healing as well as because He was compassionate. However it was Jesus’ word, not His touch that resulted in their healing (cf. Genesis 1). "According to your faith" does not mean "in proportion to your faith" but "since you believed" (cf. Matthew 9:22). This is the only time in the first Gospel that Matthew presented faith as a condition for healing.Jesus "sternly warned" them against telling anyone about the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:1-38

The Sick of the Palsy. Call of Matthew. Raising of Jairus’ Daughter1-8. The paralytic healed and his sins forgiven (Mark 2:1; Luke 5:17). The peculiarity of this miracle is that it was worked to prove a doctrine, and that in the face of opposition. There were present certain scribes and Pharisees, some of whom had doubtless come from Jerusalem expressly to oppose Jesus. Jesus at once threw them a challenge by saying to the man, ’Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.’ The scribes understood this to... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 9:30

(30) Straitly charged them.—The word, implying originally the panting breath of vehement emotion, is one of the strongest used by the New Testament writers (Mark 1:43; Mark 14:5; John 11:33; John 11:38) to express repugnance, displeasure, or the command that implies annoyance. It is as if our Lord saw the garrulous joy on the point of uttering itself, and sought by every means in His power to restrain it. The reasons may be sought, as elsewhere, either (1) in its being good for the spiritual... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 9:1-38

Arise! Matthew 9:2 The miracle is a parable for the Church in every age. Its teaching is inexhaustible. 1. It should make the heart of the hypocrite, the double-minded man, shrivel. 'Our God is a consuming fire.' Jesus knew their thoughts. 2. It unfolds the Divine power, the personal knowledge of every secret burden of our hearts, the tender individualizing love, of the compassionate Jesus of Nazareth. Eternity would scarcely be long enough to reveal the fullness of that one word, 'Son, be of... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:1-35

Chapter 8The Signs of the Kingdom - Matthew 8:1-34 - Matthew 9:1-35REFERRING to Matthew 4:23, we find the work of Christ at the beginning of His ministry summarised as teaching and preaching and healing all manner of diseases. Of the teaching and preaching we have had a signal illustration in what is called the Sermon on the Mount; now the other great branch of the work is set before us in a group of miracles, filling up almost the whole of the eighth and ninth chapters.The naturalness of the... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:1-38

Returning to His own city, Capernaum, He has brought to Him a man totally helpless, lying on a bed. This case of palsy is indicative of the complete debilitating effects of sin: man is left without strength through its ravages. Nothing is said of his being let down by others from the roof of the house, or other details (as in Mark and Luke), for again the purpose of Matthew is simply to emphasize the King's authority over the disease. That authority has been seen over the flesh, the world and... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:1-38

CREDENTIALS OF THE KING We have seen that the Sermon on the Mount was probably separate discourses grouped by the evangelist under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for a particular purpose. That purpose was the presentation of Jesus to the Jews as the Messiah, the King promised them in the Old Testament. In like manner, the miracles now following were probably wrought at different times but grouped by the evangelist for the same purpose. Jesus had come proclaiming the Kingdom to be at hand;... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 9:27-31

Chapter 39 Prayer Almighty God, our words are too poor for thy praise: thou knowest what our hearts would give if they could, thou dost accept the purpose as a temple and the intention as a great reality. Thou dost turn our water into wine, and our two mites of poverty thou dost account more than the gold of the rich. Thou shalt calculate for us, we will no longer reckon for ourselves. Do thou fill our hearts with a desire to praise thee, and turn our whole life into a glad and industrious... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 9:27-31

Concerning this miracle, I beg the Reader particularly to observe, that the cry of those men was evidently the cry of faith: for the name by which they distinguished Christ, Thou SON of David! was the known character in which the Jews were taught to expect Christ. And the opening of the blind eyes was to be a token of his mission. Isa_35:5; Isa_42:7; Isa_61:1 . read more
