Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:34-40

The Question As To What Is The Greatest Commandment (22:34-40). Jesus’ success over the Sadducees was seen as sufficiently impressive to cause rumours concerning it to spread around which came to the ears of the Pharisees. They also had failed to trap Him, but it gave them the idea that perhaps they could at least get Him involved in controversy. Then at least, in a nation which was full of people with fervent and fixed but differing views, some people would be disillusioned with Him. And they... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:37

‘And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Jesus went right to the heart of the matter, citing Deuteronomy 6:5. This could hardly fail to meet with their approval for it was in fact a verse which was central to Jewish worship, and repeated by every good Jew each day. It was considered so important that it was carried around in the phylacteries worn by Pharisees on their heads and arms and fixed to their doors in... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 22:34-40

Matthew 22:34-: . The Greatest Commandment ( Mark 12:28-Nahum : *, Luke 10:25-Hosea :).— Mt. puts the questioner, whom he calls a Pharisee, in much less favourable light than Mk. He “ tempts” Jesus— to what is not clear (Lk.’ s ekpeirazô n, “ testing,” is better)— and he omits the pleasing outcome of Jesus’ answer recorded in Mark 12:32 f. Mt. is leading up to the attack on the Pharisees in ch. 23. The lawyer’ s question is really, “ What kind of commandment is great in the law?” He is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 22:34-40

Mark relates this history more fully, Mark 12:28-31. And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord: and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. And the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 22:34-40

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 22:35. A lawyer.—The precise distinction between the “lawyer” and the other scribes rested, probably, on technicalities that have left little or no trace behind them. The word suggests the thought of a section of the scribes who confined their attention to the law, while the others included in their studies the writings of the prophets or the traditions of the elders also (Plumptre). Tempting Him.—We are not to impute the same sinister motives as actuated those who sent... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:37

Matthew 22:37 The Mind's Love for God. I. Is it not manifestly true that besides the love of the senses, and the love of the heart, and the love of the soul, and the love of the strength, there is also a love of the mind, without whose entrance into the completeness of the loving man's relation to the object of his love his love is not complete? Is your greatest friend contented with your love before you have come to love him with all your mind? Everywhere we find our assurances that the mind... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 22:37-38

Matthew 22:37-38 There are two reasons why men do not love God. For one of them there are great excuses; for the other there is no excuse whatsoever. I. In the first place, too many find it difficult to love God, because they have not been taught that God is lovable, and worthy of their love. They have been taught dark and hard doctrines, which have made them afraid of God. They have been taught too many are taught still not merely that God will punish the wicked, but that God will punish... read more

Chapter 22And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables ( Matthew 22:1 ),Now He is still there, and He is laying on them these parables.And He said, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son. And he sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come ( Matthew 22:1-3 ).There was first of all those who were bidden to the wedding. His son is getting married, and the servants were sent to those that... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 22:1-46

Matthew 22:2 . The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king which made a marriage for his son. The marriage of the heir apparent, giving stability to the throne, protection to the subject, and glory to the empire, is a most auspicious event, and claims the most lively interest of the nation. How much more then, when sinners are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb. What happier emblems could wisdom devise to attract mankind to devotion and joy, than the figures employed in this... read more
