Mateo 26:57-27:44 RVA

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 26:57

(57) To Caiaphas the high priest.—St. John alone, probably from the special facilities which he possessed as known to the high priest, records the preliminary examination before Annas (John 18:13; John 18:19-24). It was obviously intended to draw from our Lord’s lips something that might serve as the basis of an accusation. Caiaphas, we must remember, had already committed himself to the policy of condemnation (John 11:49-50). The whole history that follows leaves the impression that the plans... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 26:1-75

Name and Surname Matthew 26:6 Why these surnames? We do not want them, we do not like them; but there they are. Why not say 'Simon,' and let his identification be established by other means than by recalling the loathsomeness of the disease? Why these expansions of names, why these fringes and attachments? Why not identify men by something better than leprosy, or evil deed, or red shame of any kind? We fall here upon a very profitable scene of investigation and instruction. There seems to be... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

Chapter 19The Great Atonement Day - Matthew 26:1-75 - Matthew 27:1-56WE enter now on the story of the last day of the mortal life of our Lord and Saviour. We have already noticed the large proportionate space given to the Passion Week; but still more remarkable is the concentration of interest on the Passion Day. The record of that single day is very nearly one-ninth of the whole book; and a similar proportion is observed by all the four Evangelists. This proportion of space is very striking... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:1-75

Only when His prophetic word, with its every dispensational bearing, is complete does the King, in calm, conscious authority, declare to His disciples that the time has arrived for His being betrayed to be crucified, and on the day of the Passover. The chief priests, scribes and elders assemble together in the high priest's palace, plotting His death, but with other plans than what the Lord has declared. Having no sense of honour, they plot to take Him by subtlety, but not on the pass over... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

BETRAYAL AND ARREST As to the first point (Matthew 26:1-5 ), note that Christ predicts His death for the fourth time, adding the manner of it, and the time it would take place. What a calm walking up into death it was! But see how Satan, through the human conspirators, would hinder, if he could, the offering of the sacrifice at the appointed time (Matthew 26:5 )! As to the second point (Matthew 26:6-13 ), we learn from John 12:1-8 , that the woman was Mary, the sister of Lazarus, leading to... read more

Chapter 90 Prayer Almighty God, grant us thy peace. The peace of God passeth all understanding. Great peace have they that love thy law. O that we had hearkened unto thy commandments, then had our peace flowed like a river, and our righteousness had been as the waves of the sea. Jesus, Lamb of God, Saviour of the world, grant us thy peace. Not as the world giveth dost thou give say unto us, "Peace be unto you," and there shall be a great calm. Thou art the Prince of peace, the Son of peace,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 26:57

"And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled." Every verse in the concluding scene of Christ's life is momentous. But the limits of this "Poor Man's Commentary, " will not admit of our enlarging on the subject, as might be wished. Nevertheless, the apprehension of Christ, and the leading him away, are too important; as points, in the wonderful subject, to as to be hastily passed by. He, who at a word of his... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:57

To Caiphas. Our Saviour Christ was led in the night time, both to Annas and Caiphas: and first to Annas; (John xviii. 13,) perhaps because the house of Annas was in their way; or that they had a mind to gratify the old man with the sight of Jesus, now taken prisoner and bound with ropes. (Witham) --- After the chief priests had bribed Judas to betray Christ, they bring him to Caiphas, not as to this judge, but as to his enemy, to insult over him: and then they began to examine him concerning... read more
