マタイによる福音書 8:5-18 JC

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:18

Verse 18 Matthew 8:18And when Jesus had seen great multitudes about him. Matthew, I have no doubt, touches briefly what the others explain in a more ample and copious narrative. The other two state a circumstance, which is not noticed by Matthew that Christ withdrew privately, for the sake of retirement, into a desert place, before it was daylight. Mark afterwards says, that Peter informed him, all seek, thee; and Luke says, that multitudes came to that place. Again, Matthew says, that he... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:1-13

The leper and the centurion. The miracles of our Lord are an integral and necessary part of God's revelation of himself to men. Christ came not so much to reveal God's power as to reveal God's disposition to use that power for us; not so much to show God's holiness as to show his desire and purpose to make us also holy. Miracles, therefore, lay as naturally and inevitably in the way of Christ's work as his teaching with authority did. I. THE HEALING OF THE LEPER is the first... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:1-17

1. Christ ' s miracles of healing , and the secret of his ability to perform them. Observe: (a) One of the chosen people, who had lost all social and religious privileges; (b) a Gentile, an outsider by birth; (c) the near relation of a personal follower; (d) multitudes. (a) The request by the sufferer; (b) the request by another; (c) apparently no request, yet the personal follower has Christ with him; (d) the sufferers are brought to him. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:1-34

MESSIAH 'S WORK AS COMPLEMENTARY TO HIS TEACHING . We return in this section to matter which resembles that of Mark and Luke, and undoubtedly belongs to the Framework ( vide Introduction). St. Matthew has given a lengthy summary of the teaching of the Christ, and he now supplements it by a summary of his daily work. He is not concerned with the chronological connexion of the incidents here narrated, for this is evidently to him a matter of but secondary importance. He... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:5

And when Jesus (Revised Version, he ) was entered into Capernaum. (On Capernaum, see Matthew 4:1-25 . 13.) There came unto him ; i.e. by messengers, as we learn from St. Luke ( vide supra ) . A centurion, beseeching him . The centurion probably belonged to the soldiers of Antipas, in whose district Capernaum lay. They would naturally be organized after the Roman manner; of the forces of the Indian native states and our own. It should be observed, by the way, that even the... read more

The healing of the centurion ' s servant. ( Matthew 8:5-10 ; parallel passage Luke 7:1-3 , Luke 7:6-10 . Luke 7:11 , Luke 7:12 , equivalent to Luke 13:28 , Luke 13:29 .) According to St. Luke, the centurion sent first elders of the Jews to plead for him, and afterwards friends, and expressly said by them that he did not think himself worthy to come to Jesus. Their return in verse 10 seems to forbid the supposition that he eventually came. This detailed narrative seems more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:5-13

A soldier's faith. We pass at once from the miserable leper to the Roman officer. Both have faith in Christ, and in their faith they possess much in common. Yet the centurion has interesting traits of his own. Faith takes different forms according to the character and habit of mind of those in whom it shows itself. Something special is revealed in this soldier's faith. I. IT IS INSPIRED BY KINDNESS OF HEART . The centurion seeks no favour for himself. He is troubled about... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:5-13

The centurion. We take this to be the centurion also mentioned by Luke (7.). The points of agreement in the narratives are too remarkable and too numerous to be taken to apply to separate persons. The narratives are harmonized upon the principle of personation common in the sacred writings (see e.g. 2 Samuel 1:15 compared with 2 Samuel 4:10 , and Acts 9:23 , Acts 9:24 with 2 Corinthians 11:32 ). Let us consider the centurion's faith and its reward. I. HIS FAITH , 1 . ... read more

Miracles at Capernaum. I. HEALING OF THE CENTURION 'S SERVANT . 1 . The centurion. He was a soldier and a Gentile; he had been brought up in heathenism, and had lived among the temptations inseparable from a military life. His example and that of Cornelius show us that there were devout men among Gentile soldiers, as there are many good Christian men among soldiers now. Temptations may be great, but the grace of God is greater; we can serve him acceptably in any lawful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:6

Matthew only. And saying, Lord, my servant ; Revised Version margin, "boy" ( ὁπαῖς μου ), just as in some English-speaking communities "boy" is commonly used for "manservant." In the parallel passage of Luke, the narrative speaks of him as δοῦλος , the message as παῖς . Lieth . Perforce ( βέβληται ). At home ; Revised Version, in the house ; i.e. of the centurion. Sick of the palsy, grievously tormented (cf. 1 Macc. 9:55, 56). "Paralysis with contraction of the... read more
