馬太福音 8:5 CUNPTS

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:1-34

Now the King comes down among the people from the height from which He had given them wise instruction. For He is not only their teacher: He will experience their sorrows, and show His heart of compassion in the midst of adverse circumstances. The real condition of His people was sinful, and this was illustrated in the leper (typical of men's being sadly corrupted by sin), who is nevertheless drawn to worship Him, as a small remnant of Israel did in the beginning of the day of grace.

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:1-34

CREDENTIALS OF THE KING We have seen that the Sermon on the Mount was probably separate discourses grouped by the evangelist under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for a particular purpose. That purpose was the presentation of Jesus to the Jews as the Messiah, the King promised them in the Old Testament. In like manner, the miracles now following were probably wrought at different times but grouped by the evangelist for the same purpose. Jesus had come proclaiming the Kingdom to be at hand;... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 8:5-13

Chapter 30 Prayer Almighty God, our desire is that we may put our trust in thee, then shall our life be safe, and our hope shall be as a light that cannot be blown out. We have trusted ourselves, and to ourselves we have committed perjury; we have made no vow that has not been broken. Behold we stand before thee as criminals, without defence and without covering we would now say again in thy hearing and in thy strength, "Lord, increase our faith." The just shall live by faith: we walk by... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 8:5-13

We have here another of CHRIST'S. miracles. Capernaum was a city of Galilee, not far from Nazareth. A centurion was an officer among the Romans. This man had a servant sick, of the palsy. Luke, in his account of this case, said that the servant was dear unto his master. Luke 7:2 etc. Be that as it may, it appears that the centurion, though a Gentile, had such views of CHRIST, as none but the LORD could have given him. Reader! what a precious thought it is to us poor Gentiles; that in CHRIST... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:5

A centurion. The same who (Luke vii. 3,) is said to have sent messengers to our Saviour. But there is no contradiction: for what a man does by his servants, or friends, he is many times said to do himself. He came not in person out of humanity, but by his message shewed an extraordinary faith. (Witham) --- The centurion shews a much stronger faith in the power of Christ, than those who let down the sick man through the roof, because he thought the word of Christ alone sufficient to raise the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:5-13

5-13 This centurion was a heathen, a Roman soldier. Though he was a soldier, yet he was a godly man. No man's calling or place will be an excuse for unbelief and sin. See how he states his servant's case. We should concern ourselves for the souls of our children and servants, who are spiritually sick, who feel not spiritual evils, who know not that which is spiritually good; and we should bring them to Christ by faith and prayers. Observe his self-abasement. Humble souls are made more humble by... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 8:1-99

Matthew 8 AFTER THESE THREE chapters filled with His teachings, Matthew gives us two chapters occupied with His works of power. It was not enough for Him to enunciate the principles of the kingdom, He displayed the power of the kingdom in a variety of striking ways. There are five main illustrations of that power in Matthew 8.0 , and again in Matthew 9.0 . In each case we may say that the miracle the Lord performed in connection with human bodies, or with visible and tangible things, was a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 8:5-6

The Centurion of Capernaum. v. 5. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto Him a centurion, beseeching Him, v. 6. and saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. The incident here narrated may have taken place immediately after the cleansing of the leper or after some time, when Jesus had made one of His Galilean journeys. Jesus had entered into Capernaum, the city which He chose for His home during His ministry in that region. Here He... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 8:1-10

Rewards of Faith Matthew 8:1-10 The Lord can touch thy heart, leprous with impurity, and make its stain depart, so that, as in the case of Naaman, its foulness shall become like “unto the flesh of a little child.” See 2 Kings 5:14 . The psalmist cried, “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean,” alluding to the rite for the cleansing of the leper. Compare Psalms 51:7 ; Leviticus 14:4 , etc . But one touch of Christ’s hand is enough, for He is the great High Priest. He also can heal the... read more
