マタイの福音書 2:16 JCB

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

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 2:16-18

In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Here is opened the mystery of iniquity which lay brooding in the heart of Herod, all the while he put on the apparent regard he proposed to shew to the new born King. But, can the imagination form an idea so horrid, as that of the destruction of such a number of little harmless children, in order to he sure of the One? Alas! what is... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 2:16

By this example, we learn how great credit we owe to the Church in canonizing saints, and celebrating their holydays: by whose only warrant, without any word of Scripture, these holy Innocents have been honoured as martyrs, and their holyday kept ever since the apostles' time, although they died not voluntarily, nor all, perhaps, circumcised, and some even children of pagans.

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:13-18

13-15 Egypt had been a house of bondage to Israel, and particularly cruel to the infants of Israel; yet it is to be a place of refuge to the holy Child Jesus. God, when he pleases, can make the worst of places serve the best of purposes. This was a trial of the faith of Joseph and Mary. But their faith, being tried, was found firm. If we and our infants are at any time in trouble, let us remember the straits in which Christ was when an infant. Matthew 2:16-18 Herod killed all the male children,... 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 2:16

v. 16. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. The evangelist, after his brief digression, returns to his story proper. Herod saw that, from his standpoint, he had been outwitted, made a fool of, by the Magi. And when he was certain that they were not... 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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 2:16-23

“Out of Egypt Did I Call My Son” Matthew 2:16-23 The death of those little children was very pathetic. From the first it seemed as though our Lord’s advent would bring not peace, but the sword. Their mothers have long since been comforted, but it was a bitter experience. The little ones were the nucleus of the great attendant crowd “that follow the Lamb whithersoever He goeth,” Revelation 14:1-4 . They are dead that sought the young child’s life. Such is the epitaph that may be written for... read more
