L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:1-46

"Then," that is, at the time when things must be brought to their proper conclusion, "shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins." These take lamps to go forth to meet the bridegroom. The church is not looked at as the bride here, but from the viewpoint of responsibility to bear a light, a witness for the One who will yet come. The five wise are true believers, the five foolish not so, and got outwardly claiming to be, for they also "go forth to meet the bridegroom," and they... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:1-46

THINGS TO COME The present lesson connects itself with the last without a break. The disciples, mystified by what our Lord said about the “house,” i.e., the temple, being left “desolate” (23:38), called His attention to its grandeur and strength (Matthew 24:1 ). His further observation (Matthew 24:2 ) deepened their wonder, hence their improvement of the opportunity on the Mount of Olives for the questions of verse three. The first was answered by the destruction of the temple under Titus,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 25:1-46

Chapter 85 Prayer Almighty God, in Jesus Christ our Saviour, who alone bore our sin. and carried them away, do thou now hear our praise and our prayer. There are no silent hearts in thine house, no mouth is closed in dumbness, we are inspired with a sense of thankfulness, for we have nothing that we have not received, and we are debtors all to the continual mercy of God. We stand in the mercy of Christ, we breathe the love of Christ; because Christ is our Head and Saviour and Lord, therefore... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 25:31-46

"When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: (32) And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: (33) And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. (34) Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:31-46

31-46 This is a description of the last judgment. It is as an explanation of the former parables. There is a judgment to come, in which every man shall be sentenced to a state of everlasting happiness, or misery. Christ shall come, not only in the glory of his Father, but in his own glory, as Mediator. The wicked and godly here dwell together, in the same cities, churches, families, and are not always to be known the one from the other; such are the weaknesses of saints, such the hypocrisies of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 25:1-99

Matthew 25 THE PARABLE OF the ten virgins opens this chapter. This world presents a very tangled scene in every direction. The coming of the Lord is going to produce a thorough disentanglement. We have already seen this in the parables of the wheat and the tares, and that of the net cast into the sea, in Matthew 13.0 , and again in the verses we have just considered at the close of Matthew 24.0 . The same great fact meets us again in this fresh similitude of the kingdom of heaven. The Lord had... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 25:41-46

The sentence upon the unrighteous: v. 41. Then shall He say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels. v. 42. For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me no meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me no drink; v. 43. I was a stranger, and ye took Me not in; naked, and ye clothed Me not; sick and in prison, and ye visited Me not. v. 44. Then shall they also answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we Thee an hungered, or... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 25:31-46

Matthew THE KING ON HIS JUDGMENT THRONE Mat_25:31 - Mat_25:46 . The teachings of that wonderful last day of Christ’s ministry, which have occupied so many of our pages, are closed with this tremendous picture of universal judgment. It is one to be gazed upon with silent awe, rather than to be commented on. There is fear lest, in occupying the mind in the study of the details, and trying to pierce the mystery it partly unfolds, we should forget our own individual share in it. Better to burn... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 25:31-46

Serve Christ by Serving Others Matthew 25:31-46 We are called to watch the procedure of God’s moral government. This is primarily a forecast of the judgment of the nations, Matthew 25:32 . It would seem as though, in the first instance, their doom will be largely affected by their treatment of the Hebrew people, the brethren of Jesus after the flesh, Matthew 25:40 . Probably this parable is being enacted before our eyes-Spain in the Cuban war and Russia today. But the parable has a wider... read more
