Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 19:1-30

Chapter 19Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and he came to the coast of Judea ( Matthew 19:1 );Now that is the border of Judea, so He is moving south towards Jerusalem, for Jerusalem lies in the area of Judea, which is in the southern kingdom. So He has left the area of Naphtali and Psycar in the north, and has come down now to the area of Judea, there beyond Jordan.And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. Then the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 19:1-30

Matthew 19:3 . The pharisees also came tempting him. These men professed perfection of morality, and of worship; and their object was to tempt our Lord to sin, by giving his sanction to a law of custom, revolting to all the feelings of humanity, and admitting that a man might divorce his wife for any corporeal infirmity, or defect in temper or conduct. Our Saviour confounded their ingenious malice by the non-admission of any just cause of divorce, except that of adultery, and adultery... read more

Matthew 13:4; Matthew 19:1-30Some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up.-Way seed devoured by birdsThe birds devour the truth we neglect to cover. Let us study these birds:-1. The first belongs to the heron species, having long legs, a long bill, broad strong wings, and an eye keen as an eagle’s, yet filmy at times, which causes serious mistakes. This is the bird of intellectual scepticism. It delays your acceptance of the truth with all kinds of questions.2. There... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 19:13

13 Then were there brought unto him little children, that he should put his hands on them, and pray: and the disciples rebuked them. Ver. 13. Then were there brought unto him little ones ] By their parents, careful of their greatest good. We must also present ours, as we can, to Christ. And, 1. By praying for them before, at, and after their birth. 2. By timely bringing them to the ordinance of baptism with faith, and much joy in such a privilege. 3. By training them up in God’s holy fear;... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 19:14

14 But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven. Ver. 14. For of such is the kingdom ] That is, all the blessings of heaven and earth comprised in the covenant belong both to these and such as these,Matthew 18:3; Matthew 18:3 . Let them, therefore, have free recourse to me, who will both own them and crown them with life eternal. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 19:15

15 And he laid his hands on them, and departed thence. Ver. 15. And he laid his hands on them ] So putting upon them his father’s blessing, as Jacob did upon Joseph’s sons, whom by this symbol he adopted for his own. And albeit our Saviour baptized not these infants (as neither did he those that were larger), yet forasmuch as they were confessedly capable of Christ’s gifts, they were doubtless capable of the signs and seals of those gifts; if capable of imposition of Christ’s hands, of his... read more
