マタイによる福音書 8:5-18 JC

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:14-15

A domestic scene. The long day is nearly over. The great sermon has been preached, the healings by the way have been accomplished; at last Jesus has come home to rest for the night with one of his friends. But even now his ministry cannot cease. Wherever he goes he sees human need; whenever he sees human need he is ready to put forth power to help. I. THERE IS TROUBLE IN THE HOME . Pain and sorrow are not shut out when the darkness of night is excluded and the door is closed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:14-17

The instinct of beneficence. In introduction, note the place given to the occurrence of this miracle in the two parallel places, these two defining with accuracy what is left unalluded to by St. Matthew. Also comment on verse 17, comparing it with St. Peter's quotation, and noting St. Matthew's language as not that of the Septuagint. Reject all the lesser exegeses of the wonderful characterization of the Redeemer here given; such as fatigue of body through the late and prolonged work;... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:14-17

Reciprocal ministries. Here we notice two things— I. THAT JESUS ACCEPTS THE MINISTRY OF HOSPITALITY . 1 . He accepted the hospitality of Peter. 2 . He will accept the hospitality of our hearts. II. THAT JESUS EXERCISES THE MINISTRY OF SALVATION . 1 . He healed all manner of diseases. 2 . He cast out the spirits with his word. 3 . These works denoted the Messiah. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:15

And he touched her hand . Perhaps with her, as with the leper ( Matthew 8:3 ), the word alone would not have been enough. In both cases the faith seems to have been below that of the centurion. And the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them ; Revised Version. him , with manuscripts. Serving them all (parallel passages), and him in particular. If it were her own house this would be doubly natural (cf Luke 10:40 ). The change of tense (aorist to imperfect)... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:16

Parallel passages: Mark 1:32-34 ; Luke 4:40 . When the even was come; Revised Version, and when even- According to the original connexion, preserved, as it seems, in Mark and Luke, this was the evening of the day in which our Lord had healed the man with the withered hand in the synagogue. Probably, therefore, the day had been a sabbath. But with the setting sun (parallel passage in Luke), or rather, according to Talmudic teaching, when three stars were visible after sunset ( vide ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:16-17

The sympathy of Christ. He has finished a long day's work, and has gone into the house for rest. Even there he finds work to do, and he heals Peter's wife's mother. Meanwhile a crowd is collecting at the door. They have brought their sick from all quarters, and Jesus cannot let them come in vain. Tired as he is, he goes forth to them and heals them nit. So touching a proof at once of the people's need and of Christ's sympathetic help leads the evangelist to see a fulfilment of the ancient... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:17

Matthew only. A summary statement of Christ's relation to diseases. That it might be fulfilled ( ὅπως πληρωθῇ ); Matthew 2:23 , note. Which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses; diseases (Revised Version); Isaiah lilt. 4, from the Hebrew. Took ( ἔλαβεν ) regards the transference, the assumption; bare ( ἐβάστασεν ), the oppressiveness; infirmities , negative; diseases , positive. St. Matthew in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:17

Bearing others' woes by sympathy. "Himself took our infirmities, anti bare our sicknesses." The evangelist is here pointing out that our Lord actually suffered with those who suffered. His power to heal was directly connected with his power to sympathize; and such sympathizing was necessarily followed by extreme weariness and physical exhaustion. If we can get a true and worthy idea of the way in which our Lord bore the sufferings which he removed, we shall be in a fair way to understand... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 8:18

Parallel passages: Mark 4:35 ; Luke 8:22 . Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him . So also the Revised Version and Westcott and Hort margin; but Westcott and Hort text, "a multitude," with B. Probably the received text is derived from Luke 8:1 . From the parallel passages it is natural to infer that this crossing was some little time subsequent to the evening of the day on which he had healed Peter's wife's mother, etc. ( Luke 8:14-16 ), and that it was on the day in which he... read more
