马太福音 24:49 CUNPSS

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:43-51

In The Light Of His Second Coming All Are To Watch Wisely and Work Faithfully (24:43-51). There now follow a series of parables in which Jesus stresses both the need to watch and the need to work. Indeed their very watchfulness should keep them hard at work, for they are servants waiting for their Master to return, and they must therefore be sure that when He does return they can present to Him an account of work well done. The series begins with a brief exhortation to watch in the same way as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:48-49

“But if that evil servant shall say in his heart, ‘My lord delays’, and shall begin to beat his fellow-servants, and shall eat and drink with the drunken,” However, if the one appointed turns out to be an evil servant, and begins to consider that his Master is delaying his coming (although that should really have made no difference to his behaviour), and thus begins to beat his fellow-servants and indulge in riotous excess (note the inference that such behaviour is displeasing to the Lord), he... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:42-51

Matthew 24:42 to Matthew 25:13 . Abbreviating Mark 13:33-Haggai :, with its simile of the absent householder, into one verse ( Matthew 24:42; cf. Luke 21:36), Mt. inserts ( a) the short simile of a householder off his guard, ( b) the longer one describing the absent master and the careful and careless stewards (for these cf. Luke 12:39-Galatians :), ( c) the parable of the bridesmaids (Mt. only). At Matthew 25:13 he repeats Mark 13:33, the starting-point of his inserted material. Note... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 24:47-51

Luke hath much of this, Luke 12:45,Luke 12:46; But and if that servant say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; and shall begin to beat the men servants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken; the lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. If that servant prove an evil servant, presumes upon my not making such haste to judgment as he thought I would, and... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 24:36-51

MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Matthew 24:36-51The uncertainty of the end.—We ought to know the season, we cannot know the moment, of the “appearing” of Christ. So the Saviour teaches us here. “Of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the Son Himself,” in a sense (Matthew 24:36). How will the appearing of Christ, in consequence, come on the world? How should the thought of it, meanwhile, tell on the church?I. How it will come on the world.—It will come on it, first, while men, as a... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

Chapter 24Now Jesus went out ( Matthew 24:1 ),Left the house desolate. He is rejected now. They've rejected Him, now He has rejected them. Leave the house desolate; you're not going to see me again until you are saying, "blessed is he who comes in the name of Lord."And so they are not going to see Him, until He comes, until He comes again.So as Jesus was going out,and departing from the temple: his disciples came to him to show him the buildings of the temple ( Matthew 24:1 ).They were... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 24:1-51

Matthew 24:1 . The buildings of the temple. Herod had gradually rebuilt the temple, taking down one part, and raising it anew, so that the worship was not interrupted. Hence it was still the second temple renovated; the vessels, the priests, and even all the stones fit for use were still employed. After consulting a body of sacred critics on this subject, I find Dr. Lightfoot bears the palm. He does not detail lexicons, but being himself a rabbin of the first class, he everywhere... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:42-51

42-51. As the image of the flood illustrates the suddenness of the second coming to the careless world, so the image of the householder and the waiting servant illustrates its suddenness to the careless individual. Dr. Owen remarks that “here is an easy transition from the destruction of Jerusalem to the judgment day.” It would certainly puzzle any commentator to do, what he does not attempt, namely, show that the coming of the Lord in Matthew 24:42 was not the same as in Matthew... read more
