马太福音 14:34 CUNPSS

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:1-36

Chapter 12The Crisis in Galilee Matthew 14:1-36 - Matthew 15:1-39 - Matthew 16:1-12.THE lives of John and of Jesus, lived so far apart, and with so little intercommunication, have yet been interwoven in a remarkable way, the connection only appearing at the most critical times in the life of our Lord. This interweaving, strikingly anticipated in the incidents of the nativity as recorded by St. Luke, appears, not only at the time of our Saviour’s baptism and first introduction to His Messianic... read more

14:34 And when they were gone over, they came into the land of {e} Gennesaret.(e) This Gennesaret was a lake near Capernaum, which is also called the Sea of Galilee or Tiberias; so the country itself grew to be called Gennesaret. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:1-36

Now authority in high places is seen to reject Him too, by the deliberate rejection of His forerunner and servant John the Baptist. When King Herod hears of His fame, his conscience is troubled, fearing that Christ is John risen from the dead. Yet John had done no miracle. His moral and spiritual power had however left a solemn impression on Herod. Again, it was common knowledge that John and the Lord Jesus had been contemporaries, the Lord having been baptized by John (Matthew 3:13-17); but... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:1-36

FIRST MINISTRY TO THE GENTILES Jesus has come. He has proclaimed the nearness of the Kingdom, revealed its code or principles, presented His credentials, and sent forth His heralds. But He has been antagonized and practically rejected by the nation. Then comes the turning point, when He ceases to proclaim the nearness of the Kingdom, and discourses of it in mystery. In seven parables he outlines how it will fare among the nations in the absence of the King. One might suppose that the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 14:22-36

Chapter 62 Revelation By Night and Day Mat 14:22-36 In the case of feeding the multitude the disciples rashly undertook to give advice to the Master; they rushed into sacred and forbidden places. Out of their urgent cleverness, they had evolved the suggestion which pleased them like a new toy. We have seen how Jesus Christ treated the smart ignorance of his shallow counsellors, and with what infinite beneficence he confounded the notion of sending anybody away from himself to find anything... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 14:34-36

"And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. (35) And when the men of that place had knowledge of him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto him all that were diseased; (36) And besought him that they might only touch the hem of his garment: and as many as touched were made perfectly whole." How delightful is it to behold Jesus, in those interesting moments, When fulfilling the Prophet's prediction of him. It was one mark of his divine... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:34-36

34-36 Whithersoever Christ went, he was doing good. They brought unto him all that were diseased. They came humbly beseeching him to help them. The experiences of others may direct and encourage us in seeking for Christ. As many as touched, were made perfectly whole. Those whom Christ heals, he heals perfectly. Were men more acquainted with Christ, and with the diseased state of their souls, they would flock to receive his healing influences. The healing virtue was not in the finger, but in... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 14:1-99

Matthew 14 AT THAT TIME, says the opening verse, Herod “heard of the fame of Jesus.” Just when He had no fame at Nazareth His fame reached the ears of that godless man, and as it appears, touched his hardened conscience. It is remarkable that he should have thought it was John risen from the dead, since to a later Herod we have Paul saying, “Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?” ( Act_26:8 ). That which they could not believe when it had... read more

Safe arrival: v. 34. And when they were gone over, they came into the land of Gennesaret. v. 35. And when the men of that place had knowledge of Him, they sent out into all that country round about, and brought unto Him all that were diseased, v. 36. and besought Him that they might only touch the hem of His garment; and as many as touched were made perfectly whole. The distance from the shore still remaining was covered in a moment of time, John 6:21. Both space and time are in the... read more
