马太福音 2:21 CUNPSS

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

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 2:1-23

The Kingdom was not ready for the King, so a reception for Him was not arranged and organized by those who should have been waiting for Him. They were in rebellion. The King's advent was heralded by a star, and a few subject souls of a nation other than the chosen were guided by it to the King, and, notwithstanding the poverty of His earthly surroundings, they poured out their gifts-gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The underworld of evil was moved to its center, and found vent through the false... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:1-23

SECTION 2. THE BIRTH AND RISE OF JESUS THE MESSIAH (THE CHRIST) (1:18-4:25). In this section, following the introduction, Matthew reveals the greatness of Jesus the Christ. He will now describe the unique birth of Jesus, the homage paid to Him by important Gentiles, His exile and protection in Egypt followed by His subsequent bringing forth out of Egypt to reside in lowly Nazareth, His being drenched with the Holy Spirit as God’s beloved Son and Servant, His temptations in the wilderness which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:12-23

Analysis (2:12-23). a And being warned of God in a dream that they (the Magi) should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way (Matthew 2:12). b When they (the Magi) were departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appears to Joseph in a dream, saying, “Arise and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and you must remain there until I tell you, for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him”, and he arose and took the young child and his mother... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:21

‘And he arose and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.’ And Joseph did precisely as God had commanded. Note the repetition of the phraseology in order to bring out the point. They ‘came into the land of Israel’. God’s will and purpose from the beginning was going forward through full obedience in the face of hardship. read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 2:19-23

Matthew 2:19-Isaiah : . The Settlement at Nazareth.— By Herod’ s will Archelaus (p. 609) held the title of King till the Emperor Augustus forbade it. In Galilee, another of Herod’ s sons, Antipas (p. 609), was tetrarch. There is here no thought that Nazareth (p. 29) was Joseph’ s previous home. He goes there because ( a) Judæ a might be dangerous, ( b) prophecy must be fulfilled. For Mt. the question of the Messiah’ s birthplace does not arise; Joseph and Mary live in Bethlehem, and it... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 2:21-22

The true King of the Jews being born, the singular providence of God so ordered it, that there was no more constituted governors of Judea under the title of kings, though they are said to reign, because the tetrarchs in their provinces exercised a regal power; for though Archelaus was by his father’s will declared his successor in the kingdom, yet the emperor and senate of Rome was to confirm him, who made Archelaus tetrarch of Judea, as appears by this verse; Antipas, another of his sons,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 2:19-23

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 2:22. Archelaus.—Succeeded to Judæa, Samaria and Idumea, but Augustus refused him the title of king till it should be seen how he conducted himself, giving him only the title of Ethnarch. Above this, however, he never rose. The people, indeed, recognised him as his father’s successor; and so it is here said that he “reigned in the room of his father Herod.” But after ten years’ defiance of the Jewish law and cruel tyranny, the people lodged heavy complaints against him,... read more

Chuck Smith

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 2:1-23

Chapter TwoNow when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king ( Matthew 2:1 ),This is Herod the Great, that little short monster. He was a little over four feet tall, and as really short little guys probably suffered a tremendous ego problem. And thus significantly everything he did was big. I mean, he built great fortresses out of great rocks. I stood next to a rock that is along the Western Wall in Jerusalem that Herod had built as a retaining wall, to build up the... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 2:1-23

Matthew 2:1 . Jesus was born in Bethlehem, as is illustrated in Micah 5:2. In the days of Herod the king, the son of Antipater, and father of Archelaus, who succeeded him on the throne. Herod, who was an Idumean, or an alien, is named here to indicate the time of our Saviour’s birth, and to show that the sceptre was departed from Judah, and from the Asmonæn family, who were often rulers, and honoured as descendants of David’s house. Behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem.... read more
