Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:17-48

THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS. THE FULFILMENT OF THE INSTRUCTION OF YHWH AND OF THE PROPHETIC HOPES (5:17-7:12). Having revealed how God has worked in His disciples in a life-transforming way in Matthew 5:3-9, and having shown them that they are to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world in Matthew 5:13-16, Jesus now goes into detail about what that will involve, and how it will lead up to the final consummation, that is to the fulfilment of the Law (the Torah - The Instruction of God)... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:21-43

Five Fuller Applications of the Law (5:21-43). In order to bring home what His disciples’ approach to the Law should be Jesus selects five pivotal aspects of the Law, and expands on them and explains them. Each example commences with ‘you have heard that it was said --.’ He then draws attention to the fact that as a result of their literalist and hidebound interpretation the Jews have in many cases missed much of the significance of the Law. So He draws attention to what others in the past... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:38-42

His Disciples Are To Show Generosity Of Spirit, Not To Cry For Vengeance (5:38-42). In this example Jesus is replying to a mistaken interpretation of the Law. The purpose of the law ‘an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth’ (the lex talionis), was in order to put a limit on vengeance in a fierce age. The idea was that no one should be killed because he had accidentally, or in a fair fight, knocked someone’s tooth out. The maximum that could be demanded was that he also lose a tooth. Very... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:42

Give to him who asks you, And from him who would borrow of you turn not yourself away.” These commands are rooted in the Old Testament. They are not spoken in a capitalist environment, but in an agricultural environment. The idea is that when someone who is in poverty or in dire straits comes seeking your help you are to be more than ready to offer it (compare Psalms 112:9). The background to it is found in Deuteronomy 14:28 to Deuteronomy 15:11. There Moses described the giving of the third... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 5:38-42

Matthew 5:38-Luke : . Retaliation ( cf. Luke 6:29 f.).— Like the law of divorce, the law of the ius talionis ( Exodus 21:24 f.*) was more restrictive than permissive; “ it limited revenge by fixing an exact compensation for an injury.” Jesus penetrates behind this just principle without abrogating it. His disciples, in virtue of a higher principle, are not to desire human justice for themselves. To take His words literally is to exalt the letter at the expense of the spirit, which He... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 5:42

In these words our Saviour presseth another piece of charity, viz. liberality to those who are poor; who are of two sorts: some such as are never able to repay us; to those he commandeth Christians to give. To him that asketh, who hath need to ask, and in that order too which God hath directed, who hath commanded us to provide for our own household, and to do good to all, but especially to the household of faith. The other sort are such as may have only a temporary want: to these he commandeth... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 5:38-48

CRITICAL NOTESGENERAL REMARKS ON THE SERMON ON THE MOUNTThe aim and contents of the “Sermon.”—No mere sermon is this, only distinguished from others of its class by its reach and sweep and power; it stands alone as the grand charter of the commonwealth of heaven; or, to keep the simple title the Evangelist himself suggests (Matthew 4:23), it is “the gospel (or good news) of the kingdom.” To understand it aright we must keep this in mind, avoiding the easy method of treating it as a mere series... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:38-42

Matthew 5:38-42 I. The principle of the Mosaic law and it is a principle of no little importance in its own place is that there should be as far as possible a just proportion between the offence and the punishment; that the penalty to be inflicted should neither be too light nor too severe, but that the one should be a fair equivalent for the other. While granting to the full the exceeding wisdom of the Mosaic law on this head, I must add that even in its judicial aspect it by no means comes up... read more

DISCOURSE: 1308LIBERALITY ENJOINEDMatthew 5:42. Give to him that asketh thee; and from him that would borrow of thee, turn not thou away.TO render good for evil is a duty of indispensable obligation; and many commentators consider it as particularly enjoined in the words which we have just read. If we take the passage as connected with the directions which immediately precede it, its meaning will be, that we must not be contented with a patient submission to injuries, but must actively exert... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 5:1-48

Tonight we have the Sermon on the Mount, what a fantastic portion of scripture. Matthew five,And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he has sat down, his disciples came unto him: and he opened his mouth, and he taught them, saying, ( Matthew 5:1-2 ).The first thing to notice is that this Sermon on the Mount is not for everybody. The Sermon on the Mount was not for the multitudes. Jesus is not here talking to the multitudes, he is talking to his disciples and unless a... read more
