The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:6-12

Five gates to happiness. We have already looked at three gates to happiness. Let us now proceed to examine the five that still remain to us. I. HUNGER AND THIRST AFTER RIGHTEOUSNESS . 1 . This is a desire for righteousness on its own account, and not for its rewards. It is very different from the merely selfish wish to escape from the penalty of sin. Righteousness is regarded as an end in itself. 2 . This is a deep appetite, like hunger and thirst. The most primitive,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:10

Which are persecuted ; which have been persecuted (Revised Version); οἱδεδιωγμένοι . "Those who are harassed, hunted, spoiled. The term is properly used of wild beasts pursued by hunters, or of an enemy or malefactor in flight" (Wetstein). Our Lord, by the use of the perfect, wishes to indicate They have "suffered the loss," possibly, "of all things," but they are "blessed." For righteouness'sake ( ἕνεκεν δικαιοσύνης ) . No article (contrast Matthew 5:6 ), either as... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:10

The Beatitude of persecution. "Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness'sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." This eighth Beatitude joins hands with the first in that part which may be called the "sanction" of the Beatitude, i.e. its promise, or the authoritative assurance attached to it. It also may be looked upon as closing the number of the general Beatitudes; for we find that the only remaining one, the ninth, turns from the use of the third person to a gracious... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:10-12

The blessedness of persecution. Between this subject and that presented in the verse preceding there is the relation of sequence. I. VIRTUE PROVOKES THE RESENTMENT OF WICKEDNESS . 1 . This is exemplified in Christ. 2 . It is exemplified in the Church. 3 . It is exemplified in every saint. II. SUFFERING THUS ENTAILED SHOULD OCCASION JOY . 1 . Because associated with the noblest sympathies. 2 . Because associated with the best... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:11

As Matthew 5:10 spoke of the blessedness of those who had suffered persecution and had endured it, so this verse speaks of the blessedness of those who are suffering from it at the moment, whether it be in act or word. Whilst Christ still keeps up the form of the Beatitudes, he speaks now in the second person, this and the following terse thus forming the transition to his directly addressing those immediately before him. His present audience was not yet among οἱδεδιωγμένοι , but might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:11-12

The Beatitude of suffering for the sake of Jesus. "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you." It cannot be denied that we have here before us a Beatitude, and one warm with life and comfort and love. It is, however, particularly addressed to the disciples present, face to face,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:11-16

Some critics ( e.g. Godet, Weiss) think that Matthew 5:13-16 are no part of the original sermon, but only an interweaving of sayings which were originally spoken at other times. This is possible, but external evidence exists only in the case of Matthew 5:13 and Matthew 5:15 (for Matthew 5:14 and Matthew 5:16 are peculiar to Matthew); and even in the ease of these verses it is by no means clear ( vide infra ) that the occasions on which, according to the other Gospels, the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 5:12

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad ( χαίρετε καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε ). Our Lord uses no weaker expressions than those which describe the joy of the saints over the marriage of the Lamb ( Revelation 19:7 ). The first word expresses joy as such, the second its effect in stirring the emotions; this thought St. Luke carries still further in σκιρτήσατε . (For joy felt under persecution, cf. Acts 5:41 .) For great . The order of the Greek, ὅτι ὀ μισθὸς ὑμῶν πολύς , does not bear out... read more
