馬太福音 14:22 CUNPTS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 14:22-36

Chapter 62 Revelation By Night and Day Mat 14:22-36 In the case of feeding the multitude the disciples rashly undertook to give advice to the Master; they rushed into sacred and forbidden places. Out of their urgent cleverness, they had evolved the suggestion which pleased them like a new toy. We have seen how Jesus Christ treated the smart ignorance of his shallow counsellors, and with what infinite beneficence he confounded the notion of sending anybody away from himself to find anything... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 14:22-23

"And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. (23) And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone." Those retirings of the Lord are sweet incidents in his life, and they are held forth to the Church in strong endearments of character. But who shall undertake to describe them? Who shall take upon them to say,... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 14:22

And forthwith Jesus, &c. In this we have the genuine picture of a Christian life. After eating of the miraculous bread, we must like the disciples, prepare ourselves for labour. As bread was given Elias, to enable him to walk 40 days to the mountain of God, Horeb, so the blessed Eucharist, the true heavenly bread, is given us that we may be able to support the hardships to which we are exposed. (Paulus de Palacio.) --- We here also see the ardent love of the disciples for their Lord, since... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 14:22-33

22-33 Those are not Christ's followers who cannot enjoy being alone with God and their own hearts. It is good, upon special occasions, and when we find our hearts enlarged, to continue long in secret prayer, and in pouring out our hearts before the Lord. It is no new thing for Christ's disciples to meet with storms in the way of duty, but he thereby shows himself with the more grace to them and for them. He can take what way he pleases to save his people. But even appearances of deliverance... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 14:1-99

Matthew 14 AT THAT TIME, says the opening verse, Herod “heard of the fame of Jesus.” Just when He had no fame at Nazareth His fame reached the ears of that godless man, and as it appears, touched his hardened conscience. It is remarkable that he should have thought it was John risen from the dead, since to a later Herod we have Paul saying, “Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?” ( Act_26:8 ). That which they could not believe when it had... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 14:22

Christ Walks on the Sea. The beginning of the return voyage: v. 22. And straightway Jesus constrained His disciples to get into a ship, and to go before Him unto the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. The narrative implies unwillingness on the part of the disciples and a very strong urgency on the part of Christ. He had His reasons why He wished to remain behind alone, even though the disciples were afraid to venture back into Galilee without His protection. But His command... read more

3. Jesus Walking on the Sea. Matthew 14:22-3322 And straightway Jesus [he] constrained his disciples to get [enter, ἐμβῆναι] into a ship, and to go before him unto [to] the other side, while he sent [until he should have sent] the multitudes away. 23And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart [καἰ ἰδίαν] to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with [vexed by the] waves: for the wind was... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 14:22-36

Help in the Hour of Need Matthew 14:22-36 Jesus always comes in the storm. It had been a great relief to escape from the pressure of the crowd to His place of prayer, on heights swept by the evening breeze and lighted by the holy stars. But He tore Himself away because His friends needed Him. He is watching you also in the storm and will certainly come to your help. He uses the element we dread as the path for His approach. The waves were endangering the boat, but Jesus walked on them. In... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 14:1-36

The presence and activity of the true King filled the false ruler with alarm. Herod sacrificed John to his lust. Once Herod had heard John, and the remembrance of former conviction was still with him, but the grip of sensual intoxication was greater than the voice of conscience. Yet in the sight of heaven it was Herod who perished, not the prophet. "When Jesus heard of it" (verse Mat 14:13 ), that is, of Herod's surmise, He went to the desert. The crowds followed Him. "He healed their sick,"... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 14:22-33

The Fourth Watch of the Night Matthew 14:22-33 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As we enter this study, we are particularly struck with the words: "Jesus constrained His disciples to get into a ship." What is the deeper meaning of the word "constrained"? 1. There seemed a hesitancy on the part of the disciples to enter the ship, and to start across Galilee. We have no doubt that they, as fishermen used to the freaks of Galilee, anticipated a coming storm. The storms still sweep suddenly down upon that... read more
