马太福音 26:68 CUNPSS

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 26:1-75

The Lord now reverted to the theme of His coming suffering, telling the disciples with great definiteness of the time-"after two days"; and of the event-"The Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified." Meanwhile the priests and elders were assembled in secret conclave, plotting how they might secure Him in order to silence His voice by putting Him to death. Whether the story of the alabaster cruse was in chronological order is of little moment. It is a revelation of perhaps the most wonderful... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:57-68

The Arraignment of Jesus Before Selected Members of the Sanhedrin (26:57-68).. What follows is not an official meeting of the Sanhedrin which could only meet by day, but a gathering of enemies of Jesus who were members of the Sanhedrin, meeting under the chairmanship of Caiaphas the High Priest, together with any whom they thought might be persuaded to support them, brought together in order to try to find a way of having Him convicted, preferably of treason. That this is so comes out in that... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:67-68

‘Then they spat in his face and hit him, and some smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, “Prophesy to us, you Messiah. Who is he who struck you?” ’ Having obtained the verdict that they needed Jesus was first openly repudiated by symbolic actions (spitting was an acknowledged way of showing legally based contempt - compare Deuteronomy 25:9) and then handed over to the guards for horseplay. It is quite likely that members of the Sanhedrin initially took part. It was an official and... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:57-68

Matthew 26:57-Judith : . The Trial before the Sanhedrin ( Mark 14:53-2 John : *; see also Luke 22:54 f., Luke 22:66-Sirach :).— There are no striking divergences from Mk.’ s narrative. Matthew 26:57 . Apparently we are to think of the Sanhedrin as having been in (informal) session since Matthew 26:3. Matthew 26:58 . Peter comes “ to see the end,” not “ to warm himself” as in Mk. Matthew 26:59 . Syr. Sin. says “ witness” (so Mk.), not “ false witness.” Matthew 26:61 is more simple and... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 26:67-68

Mark hath much the same, Mark 14:65; And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. Though there be nothing more barbarous and inhuman than to add to the affliction of the afflicted, yet this is no more than we ordinarily see done by a rabble of brutish people; spitting in the face was but an ordinary token of contempt, Numbers 12:14; Deuteronomy 25:9. And perhaps in all these... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 26:57-68

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 26:57. To Caiaphas.—Apparently after a preliminary examination before Annas (John 18:13; John 18:19-24). Where the scribes and the elders were assembled.—It was against the rules of Jewish law to hold a session of the Sanhedrin or Council for the trial of capital offences by night. Such an assembly on the night of the paschal supper must have been still more at variance with usage, and the fact that it was so held has, indeed, been urged as a proof that the Last Supper was... read more

Then did they spit in his face, and buffeted him; and others smote him with the palms of their hands, saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ; who is he that smote thee?THE sufferings of our blessed Lord were not confined to the garden or the cross; but were continued through all the intervening period without intermission. Those which he experienced immediately after his condemnation by the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings ( Matthew 26:1 ),This is the end of now the Olivet discourse.He now said to his disciples, Now you know that in two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified ( Matthew 26:1-2 ).Now this is interesting, because this apparently was on Monday, that Jesus gave the Olivet discourse. He had made His triumphant entry on Sunday, which is known as Palm Sunday, and then the next day He came back into... read more

Joseph Sutcliffe

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 26:1-75

Matthew 26:2 . After two day is the passover. This is the literal import of the Greek word πασχα pascha, and the Hebrew word פסח pesach, because the Israelites, after eating the paschal lamb, passed over the Red sea. The jews had a tradition, probably from the prophets, that they should be delivered at the passover, which tradition is still in the Cabalists. And it is very remarkable, that Christ should redeem the world at the very festival when he redeemed the Hebrews from Egypt. He is... read more

Saying, Prophesy unto us, thou Christ ] This is daily done to Christ by the children of darkness, which sin securely, and say, Who seeth us? they put it to the trial, as Ananias and Sapphira did, whether they shall be detected. read more
