马太福音 9:15 CUVS

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:1-38

Returning to His own city, Capernaum, He has brought to Him a man totally helpless, lying on a bed. This case of palsy is indicative of the complete debilitating effects of sin: man is left without strength through its ravages. Nothing is said of his being let down by others from the roof of the house, or other details (as in Mark and Luke), for again the purpose of Matthew is simply to emphasize the King's authority over the disease. That authority has been seen over the flesh, the world and... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 9:1-38

CREDENTIALS OF THE KING We have seen that the Sermon on the Mount was probably separate discourses grouped by the evangelist under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, for a particular purpose. That purpose was the presentation of Jesus to the Jews as the Messiah, the King promised them in the Old Testament. In like manner, the miracles now following were probably wrought at different times but grouped by the evangelist for the same purpose. Jesus had come proclaiming the Kingdom to be at hand;... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 9:14-19

Chapter 37 Prayer Almighty God, do thou lead us into all the deeper truth, and save us from the narrowness and meanness of the letter. Give unto our hearts that keen vision which sees thee afar off, and knows the way that thou dost take, though it be hidden in much darkness and be not known to the carnal reason. We would be no longer children, tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine, but would be men in Christ Jesus, having maturity of understanding, largeness of knowledge, trueness and... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 9:14-17

It is wonderful to see how fond men have been in All ages to substitute anything, and everything, in the room of real godliness, and a change of heart. Fasting and alms-giving, and services, however costly, shall be set up, provided they may find pardon to the sins of nature. But all these are not regeneration. It is the old nature still. It is still the old creature, only dressed up in a new form: not transformed in the renewing of the heart. Jesus makes use of two beautiful similitudes to... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 9:14-17

14-17 John was at this time in prison; his circumstances, his character, and the nature of the message he was sent to deliver, led those who were peculiarly attached to him, to keep frequent fasts. Christ referred them to John's testimony of him, John 3:29. Though there is no doubt that Jesus and his disciples lived in a spare and frugal manner, it would be improper for his disciples to fast while they had the comfort of his presence. When he is with them, all is well. The presence of the sun... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 9:1-99

Matthew 9 THE GERGESENE PEOPLE not desiring His presence, He again crossed the sea, and was at once met by further cases of human need. In Matthew 9.0 we are shown how He wrought deliverance for the man sick of the palsy, the diseased woman, the daughter of Jairus, the two blind men, and the dumb man possessed with a demon again a five-fold exhibition of the power of the kingdom that had drawn near in His presence. In the first of these cases the Lord plainly stated the connection that existed... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 9:14-15

A question regarding fasting: v. 14. Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but Thy disciples fast not? v. 15. And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bride-chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the Bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast. Silenced on one point, the Pharisees attack on another, aided, in this case, by some disciples of John the Baptist. They were all of... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 9:9-17

VThe miracle of the call of Matthew to the Apostolate; the feast of the Lord with the publicans; twofold stumblingblock of the Pharisees and disciples of John: or, Christ’s gracious working despite the contradiction of legal piety.Matthew 9:9-17 (Mark 2:13-22; Luke 5:27-39)9And as Jesus passed forth [on] from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom [custom-house]: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him. 10And it came to pass, as Jesus sat... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 9:9-17

the Friend of Sinners Matthew 9:9-17 The name Levi indicates that Matthew sprang from a priestly line. He had lost all self-respect to become the abhorred instrument of the Roman government, collecting dues on the merchandise that crossed the lake. But our Lord sees veins of gold and precious gems in most unlikely places, and He detected the apostle and evangelist in this despised publican. Wherever a man is found by Christ, He sets Himself to find others, and the Lord is willing to... read more
