マタイによる福音書 8:5-18 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:7

Matthew only. And Jesus (Revised Version, be) saith unto him, I Will come and heal him . The emphasis is not on the coming, but on the person who comes ( ἐγων ). Observe Christ's perfect self-consciousness. Heal ( θεραπεύσω ) ; contrast verse 8. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:8

The (Revised Version, and the ) centurion answered and said . His reply as reported in Matthew is almost verbally the same as his second message in Luke, save for the important addition there of his unworthiness to come. Lord, I am not worthy ( ἱκανός ); Matthew 3:11 , note. That thou shouldest come under my roof. "My," probably emphatic: however thou mayest honour others. But speak the word only ; but only say the word (Revised Version); ἀλλὰ μόνον εἰπὲ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:9

For I am ( for I also am , Revised Version) a man under authority, having soldiers under me ( under myself soldiers , Revised Version): and I say to this man ( this one, Revised Version ), Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it . The centurion says that he knows the power of a command when given by one in authority, through the obedience that he himself shows and through that which he himself receives. Observe,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:10

When (Revised Version, add when ) Jesus heard it, he marvelled . Contrast "and he marvelled because of their unbelief" ( Mark 6:6 ). We read in John 2:24 , John 2:25 , "But Jesus did not trust himself unto them, for that he knew all men, and because he needed not that any one should bear witness concerning man; for he himself knew what was in man." Yet here our Lord marvels at the character of the centurion. How can we reconcile these two statements? As yet not fully, for the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:10

A faith that caused surprise. "That upon which the Son of God fastened. as worthy of admiration was not the centurion's benevolence, nor his perseverance, but his faith. And so speaks the whole New Testament, giving a special dignity to faith." Our Lord found something unusual in this man's faith, which he contrasts with the faith he had already observed. Evidently this man had risen above the common ides or' faith, as a sort of magical influence, which required some personal touch, or the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:11-12

In Luke ( Luke 13:28 , Luke 13:29 ) not joined to this miracle, but placed after the warning about mere professors (our Matthew 7:23 ). Also they are there given in the reverse order. Taking the other facts (verse 5, note) about this miracle into consideration, there can be little doubt but that St. Matthew does not place these verses in their historical connexion. He wishes to emphasize the teaching of the miracle, that Gentiles accept Christ, though Jews reject him. For this reason... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:13

Matthew only. The parallel passage, Luke 7:10 , gives the result found by the messengers on their return. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and (omitted by the Revised Version) as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. As. Not strictly proportionate, but in the same way as ( Matthew 6:12 ; Matthew 18:33 ) thou hast now believed, be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame (Revised Version, in that ) hour. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:13

The grounds and rewards of faith. Christ's miracles were not so much convictions for the unbelieving as confirmations for the believing. If we believe in Christ on other grounds, then his miracles will serve to establish and to instruct our faith. It is not the merely wonderful features of them; it is the moral and spiritual truth they exhibit and illustrate which really blesses men. And so we find that they are always called "signs" or "mighty works." I. THE GROUNDS OF FAITH .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:14

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house. Straight from the synagogue (parallel passages), for food, Matthew 8:15 (Chrysostom). It seems clear, from the parallel passages, that St. Peter had not previously told our Lord about his mother-in-law's illness, but that he, with others, now asked ( ἠρώτησαν , Luke) him to heal her. Among these others were probably Andrew, who also lived in the house, and James and John, who accompanied our Lord (Mark). Whether or not it was Peter's... read more
