マタイの福音書 11:1-27 JCB

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:26

Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in thy sight. Or, "so is the good will", or "pleasure before thee": thus, רצון מלפניך יהי , "let it be the good will before thee", or "in thy sight, O Lord", is a phrase often to be met with in the Jews' forms of prayer F24 Seder Tephillot, fol. 4. 2. & 5. 1. & passim. Ed. Amsterdam. . Here the word designs the sovereign counsel and purpose of God, to which, and to which only, our Lord refers the different dispensations of God... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 11:27

All things are delivered unto me of my Father ,.... This is to be understood of Christ, as mediator; for, as God, nothing was delivered to him; he had all things, all perfections, power, and glory his Father has; and is to be considered in the utmost extent: all persons are delivered to him, angels and men; good angels are delivered to him, to be confirmed in him, as their head, and to be made use of by him; spirits, evil spirits, which were subject to his disciples, are under him, and at... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:1

This verse properly belongs to the preceding chapter, from which it should on no account be separated; as with that it has the strictest connection, but with this it has none. To teach and to preach - To teach, to give private instructions to as many as came unto him; and to preach, to proclaim publicly, that the kingdom of God is at hand; two grand parts of the duty of a Gospel minister. Their cities - The cities of the Jews. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:2

John had heard in the prison - John was cast into prison by order of Herod Antipas, Matthew 14:3 , etc., (where see the notes), a little after our Lord began his public ministry, Matthew 4:12 ; and after the first passover, John 3:24 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:3

Art thou he that should come - Ο ερχομενος , he that cometh, seems to have been a proper name of the Messiah; to save or deliver is necessarily implied. See on Luke 7:19 ; (note). There is some difficulty in what is here spoken of John. Some have thought he was utterly ignorant of our Lord's Divine mission, and that he sent merely for his own information; but this is certainly inconsistent with his own declaration, Luke 3:15 , etc.; John 1:15 , John 1:26 , John 1:33 , John... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:4

Go and show John the things - ye do hear and see - Christ would have men to judge only of him and of others by their works. This is the only safe way of judging. A man is not to be credited because he professes to know such and such things; but because he demonstrates by his conduct that his pretensions are not vain. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:5

The blind receive their sight, etc. - Αναβλεπωσι , look upwards, contemplating the heavens which their Lord hath made. The lame walk - Περιπατωσι , they walk about; to give the fullest proof to the multitude that their cure was real. These miracles were not only the most convincing proofs of the supreme power of Christ, but were also emblematic of that work of salvation which he effects in the souls of men. Sinners are blind; their understanding is so darkened by sin that they see... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:6

Blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in me - Or, Happy is he who will not be stumbled at me; for the word σκανδαλιζεσθαι , in its root, signifies to hit against or stumble over a thing, which one may meet with in the way. The Jews, as was before remarked, expected a temporal deliverer. Many might he tempted to reject Christ, because of his mean appearance, etc., and so lose the benefit of salvation through him. To instruct and caution such, our blessed Lord spoke these words. By... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:7

What went ye out into the wilderness to see? - The purport of our Lord's design, in this and the following verses, is to convince the scribes and Pharisees of the inconsistency of their conduct in acknowledging John Baptist for a divinely authorized teacher, and not believing in the very Christ which he pointed out to them. He also shows, from the excellencies of John's character, that their confidence in him was not misplaced, and that this was a farther argument why they should have... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 11:8

A man clothed in soft raiment? - A second excellency in John was, his sober and mortified life. A preacher of the Gospel should have nothing about him which savours of effeminacy and worldly pomp: he is awfully mistaken who thinks to prevail on the world to hear him and receive the truth, by conforming himself to its fashions and manners. Excepting the mere color of his clothes, we can scarcely now distinguish a preacher of the Gospel, whether in the establishment of the country, or out of... read more
