马太福音 17:1-3 CUNPSS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 17:2

Jesus underwent a metamorphosis. The Greek word that Matthew used is metamophoo meaning "to transform or change in form." It was not just His appearance that changed, but His essential form became different. [Note: Lenski, pp. 651-51.] Probably Jesus assumed His post-resurrection body that was similar to, but somewhat different from, His pre-resurrection body (cf. 2 Peter 1:16-18; Revelation 1:16).Matthew’s statement that Jesus was transfigured before the disciples indicates that the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 17:3

"Behold" again introduced something amazing (cf. Matthew 1:20; Matthew 2:13; et al.). Matthew probably mentioned Moses first because to the Jews he was the more important figure. Moses was the model for the eschatological Prophet whom God would raise up, specifically, Messiah (Deuteronomy 18:18). Elijah was the prophesied forerunner of Messiah (Malachi 4:5-6; cf. Matthew 3:1-3; Matthew 11:7-10; Matthew 17:9-13). Both prophets had unusual ends. Perhaps Moses represented those who will be in the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:1-27

The Transfiguration1-8. The Transfiguration (Mark 9:2; Luke 9:28).St. Leo rightly apprehended the historical situation when he said that in the Transfiguration the principal object aimed at was that in the hearts of the disciples the scandal of the cross might be removed, and that throughout the terrible and humiliating events which were shortly to happen they might be sustained by the remembrance of the revelation which they had been vouchsafed.The Transfiguration revealed Christ in His divine... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 17:1

XVII.(1) After six days.—St. Luke’s “about eight days” (Luke 9:28) may be noted as an example of the mode of reckoning which spoke of the interval between our Lord’s death and resurrection, about six-and-thirty hours, as three days.Peter, James, and John.—The three retain their position, as in the raising of Jairus’s daughter, as the elect among the elect. (Comp. also Matthew 26:37; Mark 13:3.) Looking to the grouping of the Apostles it might have seemed natural that Andrew also should have... read more

(2) And was transfigured before them.—Elsewhere in the New Testament (with the exception of the parallel, Mark 9:2) the word is used only in its spiritual sense, and is there rendered “transformed.” St. Luke does not use the word, but describes the change which it implies, “the fashion of His countenance became other than it had been” (Luke 9:29). He adds the profoundly significant fact that this was while He was in the act of prayer. It was in that act of communion with His Father that the... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 17:3

(3) Moses and Elias.—The identification of the forms which the disciples saw was, we may well believe, intuitive. If we accept the narrative as a whole, it is legitimate to assume that, in the state of consciousness to which they had been raised, they were capable of a spiritual illumination which would reveal to them who they were who were thus recognising their Master’s work and doing homage to His majesty. There was, it is obvious, a singular fitness in each case. One was the great... read more

The Use of Religious Excitement Matthew 17:4 Although there is no necessity to give much heed to the words of one, who, when he spoke them, was so startled and confused, that he knew not what he said, yet I suppose, in truth, St. Peter was right in the former part of his saying, and wrong in the latter. 1. Why did God bestow upon us the power of religious emotion? It is certain that no power, no faculty of the soul was given in vain. Each has its proper use and end; its proper exercise, its... read more

8Chapter 13The New Departure (Founding of the Church.) - Matthew 16:13-28; Matthew 17:1-21THIS conversation at Caesarea Philippi is universally regarded as marking a new era in the life of Christ. His rejection by "His own" is now complete. Jerusalem, troubled at His birth, had been troubled once again when He suddenly came to His Temple, and began to cleanse it in His Father’s name; and though many at the feast were attracted by His deeds of mercy, He could not commit Himself to any of them:... read more
