马太福音 23:17 CUVS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 23:1-39

This chapter is one of the most sublime and awful in the whole inspired volume. It records the last words of Jesus to the crowds. He summed up, He reached His verdict, He pronounced sentence. It is awful in its majesty, terrible in its resistless force. With what relentless persistence and unfailing accuracy He revealed the true condition of the leaders of the people, their occupation with externalities and pettiness, and their neglect of inward facts and weightier matters. Here, indeed, if... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:1-25

Jesus Passes Judgment On The Scribes And Pharisees And Describes the Devastations Coming On The World Prior To His Coming Again And The Judgment That Will Follow (23:1-25). Having made clear that He has come to establish a new ‘congregation’ and a new ‘nation’ Jesus will now reveal what is to happen to the old nation that has rejected Him, and why. In chapter 23 He brings His severe indictment on ‘the Scribes and the Pharisees’. While His words appear to be fierce they are nothing less than we... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:1-39

Words in the Temple: Exhortation to His Disciples And Indictment of The Scribes and Pharisees (23:1-39). It is an open question as to whether chapter 23 should be seen as part of the ‘fifth dissertation’ made up of chapters 23-25 (see introduction), or whether it should be seen as a connecting passage between 19-22 and 24-25 made up of secondary dissertations on their own (compare chapter 11; Matthew 16:17-28 for similar dissertations). The fact that it forms a separate chiasmus on its own... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:13-33

Jesus Faces The Scribes and Pharisees Up To Their Hypocrisy (23:13-33). It will be quite clear that the words which Jesus has spoken to His disciples and the crowds could hardly have failed to rile the Scribes and Pharisees as they stood bristling among the crowds in the Temple. They were members of a very excitable and fervent people living at a very excitable and fervent time and attending a very excitable and fervent feast, and we can be sure therefore that they would begin to defend... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:16-17

“Woe/alas to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing, but whoever shall swear by the gold of the temple, he is a debtor.’ You fools and blind, for which is greater, the gold, or the temple which has sanctified the gold?” Jesus is so moved by the idea of how they are turning both Jews and Gentiles from the truth that He changes His description from ‘hypocrites’ to ‘blind guides’, and He gives an example of the way in which they take men’s minds off the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:16-22

Their Failure To Discern What Is Truly Holy (23:16-22). Their next condemnation lies in the fact that they lay greater emphasis on their own gifts and offerings than they do on the God-provided and thus ‘holy’ means of approach to Himself. They emphasise their own works rather than God’s provision. Thus instead of ‘seeing God’ their eyes are filled with their own religious activity. Analysis. a “Woe/alas to you, you blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever shall swear by the temple, it is nothing,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 23:13-32

Matthew 23:13-Jonah : . Seven Woes.— Seven is a sacred number and often used in Mt., as in OT ( cf. especially Isaiah 5) and Rev. “ The first three treat of Pharisaic teaching, the last three of Pharisaic character, the fourth is transitional.”— i.-iii. The Scribes refused to accept the preaching of Jesus, and deterred others from accepting it ( Matthew 23:13; cf. Luke 11:52). While they are thus eager to prevent Jews from becoming Christians, they are keen to make converts either from... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 23:16-22

Our Saviour here showeth the false doctrine which the Pharisees, for their own gain, taught the people concerning oaths. God had commanded that they should fear and serve the Lord their God, and swear by his name, Deuteronomy 6:13; Deuteronomy 10:20. He that sweareth by any person, or thing, doth two things: 1. He attributes to the thing, or person, by which he sweareth, a knowledge of the heart and the secret intention. 2. He calleth upon the person, or thing, by which he sweareth, to be his... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 23:16-28

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 23:16. Gold of the temple.—The exact meaning of this expression is uncertain; but the probability is that it refers to money offered as a gift to God, to which the scribes and Pharisees ascribed peculiar sanctity (Mansel). See R.V., margin.Matthew 23:18. Guilty.—A debtor (R.V.) as in Matthew 23:16.Matthew 23:23. Ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin.—The language of Deuteronomy 12:17 seems to recognise only corn, wine, and oil, among the produce of the earth, as... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 23:17

Matthew 23:17 The Visible Temple. I. A Temple there has been upon earth, a spiritual Temple, made up of living stones a Temple, as I may say, composed of souls. This Temple is invisible, but it is perfect and real because it is invisible, and gains nothing in perfection by possessing visible tokens. There needs no outward building to meet the eye, in order to make it more of a Temple than it already is in itself. God and Christ and angels souls, are not these a heavenly court, all perfect to... read more
