马太福音 2:21 CUNPSS

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Matthew 2:1-23

2. The King Worshipped by Gentiles; Jerusalem in Ignorance of Him; the Child Persecuted. 1. The Visit of the Wise Men.(Matthew 2:1-12 .) 2. The Flight into Egypt. (Matthew 2:13-18 .) 3. The Return from Egypt. (Matthew 2:19-23 .) CHAPTER 2 The second chapter in Matthew relates events which are nowhere else recorded in the Gospels. For this reason, and this is the only reason, the authenticity of the chapter has been doubted more than once. All that which the second chapter contains belongs... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:1-23

The deeply interesting account of Gabriel's announcement to Mary that she would be the mother of her Lord, the details as to His birth in Bethlehem, the visit of the shepherds to the manger in which He lay (Luke 1:1-80; Luke 2:1-52) are not found at all in Matthew; for these, though of engrossing personal interest, are not of importance in an official way. We shell see in chapter 2 however that the visit of the wise men from the east was of a much different character, that affected the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 2:1-23

THE ADVENT OF OUR LORD In this lesson there are four divisions: 1. The Genealogical Table (Matt. 1-1-17) 2. The Announcement to Joseph (Matthew 1:18-25 ) 3. The Flight into Egypt (Matthew 2:1-18 ) 4. The Return to Nazareth (Matthew 2:19-23 ) THE GENEALOGICAL TABLE (Matthew 1:1-17 ) We learned the value of genealogical tables to Israel in the Old Testament. This value applied to the separation into families and tribes with reference to the possession of Canaan; but it had a peculiar... read more

Chapter 6 Review of the Second Chapter The Troubled King the Beneficence of Trials the Scriptures Always New Prayer Almighty God, we know thee as a God of Love, and it is to thy pity that we now come with our praises and our prayer. We do not address thy righteousness, for thy purity makes us afraid with a great and painful fear: we come to thy mercy thou hast been pleased to exercise mercy towards the sinful children of men. Through Jesus Christ our Saviour we know of this mercy; he indeed is... read more

Chapter 5 Second Causes Not Sufficient Physical Force Weaker Than Moral Angel Ministries Afraid of Whole Families Goodness Cannot Die Prayer Almighty God, thy way is very wonderful, and we cannot find it out; thou dost justify thyself in righteousness and in mercy, notwithstanding our sore perplexity and the vexation of our soul in time of trouble. Thou dost send men on strange errands, thy requests are bold; thou dost lay thine hand upon our life, and require it as our gift. Who can restrain... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 2:20-23

And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene. The most interesting of all subjects, is to eye CHRIST as the Great Nazarene. Few have ever considered the importance of the name; and yet there is none by which the Lord JESUS is distinguished in his holy scriptures more personally directed by way of emphasis, than this. For my part, so very highly significant is it in my view, that I venture to believe... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:19-23

19-23 Egypt may serve to sojourn in, or take shelter in, for awhile, but not to abide in. Christ was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, to them he must return. Did we but look upon the world as our Egypt, the place of our bondage and banishment, and heaven only as our Canaan, our home, our rest, we should as readily arise and depart thither, when we are called for, as Joseph did out of Egypt. The family must settle in Galilee. Nazareth was a place held in bad esteem, and Christ was... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 2:1-99

Matthew 2 THE OPENING VERSES of chapter 2 throw a strong and searching light upon the conditions that prevailed in those days amongst the Jews found in Jerusalem, the descendants of those who had returned under Zerubbabel, Ezra and Nehemiah. The King of the Jews was born in Bethlehem and yet for weeks they knew nothing about it. That Herod the king should be in ignorance was not at all surprising, for he was no Israelite but an Idumean. But of all people the chief priests should have been... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 2:21-22

Joseph lost no time in obeying the command: v. 21. And he arose, and took the young Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel. But when he reached Judea, a new danger confronted him, causing his fears to be renewed: v. 22.. But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither. Herod, indeed, was dead, but Augustus had divided his kingdom among his three sons. Archelaus obtained Judea, Idumea, and Samaria, with the... read more

B. Matthew 2:13-23 (Luke 2:40-52)(The Gospel for the Sunday after New Year or Day of Circumcision)13And when they were departed, behold, the [an] angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him. 14When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt, 15And was there until the death of... read more
