马太福音 17:1 CUNPSS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 17:1-13

Chapter 70 Prayer Almighty God, we hasten unto thee as men who are chased by a great fear or driven by the necessity of pain. There is no rest but in thyself, nor is there any healing for the sore heart but in the grace that is all sufficient. We fly unto thee; yea, our hearts long with much yearning and pining of love to be for ever with the Lord. Place us where thou wilt, but be thou with us, and the place is heaven. We would never be without thee, we would have thee within us and without... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 17:1-2

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, (2) And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light." Three of the Evangelists have recorded this wonderful scene of Christ's glory. Mark 9:9 ; Luke 9:28 . And three of the Apostles were present at it. One of them, Peter, was commissioned by the Holy Ghost to give a new record of it just before his own death, to... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:1

And after six days. St. Matthew reckons neither the day of the promise, nor the day of the transfiguration; St. Luke, including both, calls the interval about eight days, Greek: osei emerai okto. (St. John Chrysostom) --- He took Peter, as head of the apostolic college; James, as first to shed his blood for the faith; and John, as he was survive all the rest, and to transmit to posterity the circumstances of this glorious mystery; or, according to St. John Chrysostom on account of their more... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:1-13

1-13 Now the disciples beheld somewhat of Christ's glory, as of the only begotten of the Father. It was intended to support their faith, when they would have to witness his crucifixion; and would give them an idea of the glory prepared for them, when changed by his power and made like him. The apostles were overcome by the glorious sight. Peter thought that it was most desirable to continue there, and to go no more down to meet the sufferings of which he was so unwilling to hear. In this he... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 17:1-99

Matthew 17 THE TRANSFIGURATION, WITH which this chapter opens, furnished a view of the kingdom, inasmuch as Jesus Himself, shining as the sun, was the central figure, and with Him in heavenly conditions were Moses and Elias, whilst three disciples in earthly conditions had a share in it. The “bright cloud” which overshadowed them was evidently the reappearance of that which once dwelt on the tabernacle, and out of it spoke the voice of God the Father, declaring Jesus to be the Son, the beloved... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 17:1-2

The Transfiguration of Christ. v. 1. And after six days, Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John, his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, v. 2. and was transfigured before them; and His face did shine as the sun, and His raiment was white as the light. Memorable, important days were those which Matthew fixes so carefully in the order of events, six days after the first specific announcement of Christ's passion; a turning-point in the ministry of Jesus. That Luke... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 17:1-8

Jesus Shows Divine Glory Matthew 17:1-8 Moses’ face shone after having absorbed the divine glory, as some diamonds burn with sunlight after being carried into a dark room. Stephen’s face shone because for a moment he had seen the Son of man. But the face of our Lord shone, not from without but from within. The shekinah of His heart was for the most part hidden, but here it burst through the frail veil of flesh, John 1:14 . The Apostle uses the same word when he says, “Be ye transfigured,”... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 17:1-27

"After six days." Days of silence. No record have we of what transpired in those days. The strange declarations of the Cross had crushed the hearts of these men. Now to three of their number, as special training for special work, was granted this wondrous vision of glory. The true force and meaning of all this they did not comprehend until the Spirit came. That then the value of the experience was appreciated is evident from Peter's reference to the vision ( 2Pe 1:16-19 ). Again a contrast!... read more
