Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 5:11-12

Matthew 5:11-12. Blessed are ye My true and faithful followers, when men shall revile you Shall unjustly and injuriously reproach you; and say all manner of evil against you falsely This both the Jews and heathen did with respect to the first Christians, and this the Papists have done with regard to the Protestants: for my sake Because you believe in, love, obey, and follow me. Rejoice, &c. Let not this load of infamy and oppression discourage and cast you down, but rather ... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:1-12

THE SERMON ON THE MOUNTWhen people enter Jesus’ kingdom they enter a new life. They come under the rule of Jesus and, as his disciples, listen to his teaching and put it into practice. Their behaviour is not governed by a set of rules such as the law of Moses, but by the character of Jesus, who wants to reproduce that character in them. The collection of Jesus’ teachings commonly known as the Sermon on the Mount deals with the attitudes, behaviour and responsibilities of those who have come... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 5:11

Blessed are ye when men shall reproach you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil against you falsely for my sake.In Christ's teachings, there is often the pattern of proceeding from the general to the specific. The general class of the persecuted in the preceding verse gives way to the personal and individual cases envisioned in this verse. There is a similar progression from the general to the particular in the case of Christ's questions regarding his identity (Matthew 16:13-15).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 5:12

Rejoice and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets that were before you.The apostles took to heart this admonition of the Saviour to rejoice in persecutions. James (James 1:2-4), Paul (1 Timothy 3:12; Colossians 1:24), and the Twelve (Acts 5:41) were happy in persecutions. In this passage, Christ firmly underscored the principle motive undergirding human submissiveness to God. There were, in fact, three of these: love, fear, and hope of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 5:11-12

Matthew 5:11-12. Blessed are ye when men shall revile, &c.— Macknight understands this as a distinct beatitude from that in the 10th verse, supposing the former to refer to liberty and external ease; the present to reputation: and accordingly he paraphrases it nearly in the following words: "Fame, or the applause of the world, does not give true contentment, by satisfying true ambition; but to be reviled falsely, in the ways of righteousness, and to share in affronts with and for God, is a... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 5:11

11. Blessed are ye when men shall revile you—or abuse you to your face, in opposition to backbiting. (See Mark 15:32). and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you, falsely, for my sake—Observe this. He had before said, "for righteousness' sake." Here He identifies Himself and His cause with that of righteousness, binding up the cause of righteousness in the world with the reception of Himself. Would Moses, or David, or Isaiah, or Paul have so expressed themselves? Never.... read more

12. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad—"exult." In the corresponding passage of Luke (Luke 6:22; Luke 6:23), where every indignity trying to flesh and blood is held forth as the probable lot of such as were faithful to Him, the word is even stronger than here: "leap," as if He would have their inward transport to overpower and absorb the sense of all these affronts and sufferings; nor will anything else do it. for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 5:11-12

These two verses expand and clarify the last beatitude (Matthew 5:10; cf. Matthew 6:12; cf. Matthew 6:14-15) and provide a transition to what follows.Matthew 5:11 broadens the persecution to include insult and slander. It also identifies Jesus with righteousness."This confirms that the righteousness of life that is in view is in imitation of Jesus. Simultaneously, it so identifies the disciple of Jesus with the practice of Jesus’ righteousness that there is no place for professed allegiance to... read more
