馬太福音 8:1-4 RCUVTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 8:1-4

The first verse refers to the close of the foregoing sermon: the people that heard him were astonished at his doctrine; and the effect was, that when he came down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him; though he was so strict a Lawgiver, and so faithful a Reprover, they diligently attended him, and were loth to disperse, and go from him. Note, They to whom Christ has manifested himself, cannot but desire to be better acquainted with him. They who know much of Christ should covet to... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 8:1-34

Of all the gospel writers Matthew is the most orderly. He never sets out his material haphazardly. If in Matthew one thing follows another in a certain sequence, there is always a reason for that sequence; and it is so here. In Matthew 5:1-48 ; Matthew 6:1-34 ; Matthew 7:1-29 Matthew has given us the Sermon on the Mount. That is to say, in these chapters he has given us his account of the words of Jesus; and now in Matthew 8:1-34 he gives us an account of the deeds of Jesus. Matthew... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:1

When he was come down from the mountain ,.... Into which he went up, and preached the sermon recorded in the "three" preceding chapters: great multitudes followed him : which is mentioned, partly to shew, that the people which came from several parts, still continued with him, being affected with his discourses and miracles; and partly on account of the following miracle, of healing the leper, which was not done in a corner, but before great multitudes, who were witnesses of it: though... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:2

And behold there came a leper ,.... As soon as he came down from the mountain, and whilst he was in the way; though Luke says, Luke 5:12 "when he was in a certain city"; in one of the cities of Galilee; one of their large towns, or unwalled cities, into which a leper might come: he might not come into walled F2 Misn. Celim. c. 1. sect. 7. towns, at least they might turn him out, though without punishment: for the canon runs thus F3 Maimon. Biath Hamikdash, c. 3. sect. 8. & in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:3

And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him ,.... This is a wonderful instance both of the grace, and goodness of Christ, in touching this loathsome creature; and of his unspotted purity and holiness, which could not be defiled by it; and of his mighty power in healing by a touch, and with a word of his mouth, saying, I will, be thou clean : in which he expresses at once his willingness, "I will", of which the leper before was not certain; and his power by a word of command, "be thou... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:4

And Jesus saith unto him, see thou tell no man , &c.; Not that this fact could be concealed, if it was done publicly, before the multitude; nor was it Christ's design that it should be; only it was his counsel to this man, that whilst he was on the road to Jerusalem, and when he was come there, that he would speak of it to no man, before he came to the priest, or priests: lest out of ill will to Christ, they should refuse to pronounce him clean: but go thy way, show thyself to the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:2

And, behold, there came a leper - The leprosy λεπρα , from λεπις , a scale, was an inveterate cutaneous disease, appearing in dry, thin, white scurfy scales or scabs, either on the whole body, or on some part of it, usually attended with violent itching, and often with great pain. The eastern leprosy was a distemper of the most loathsome kind, highly contagious, so as to infect garments, ( Leviticus 13:47 , etc)., and houses, ( Leviticus 14:34 , etc)., and was deemed incurable by any... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:3

Jesus put forth his hand - I will; be thou clean - The most sovereign authority is assumed in this speech of our blessed Lord - I Will: there is here no supplication of any power superior to his own; and the event proved to the fullest conviction, and by the clearest demonstration, that his authority was absolute, and his power unlimited. Be thou cleansed, καθαρισθητι ; a single word is enough. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed - What an astonishing sight! A man whose whole body... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 8:4

Jesus saith - See thou tell no man - Had our Lord, at this early period, fully manifested himself as the Messiah, the people in all likelihood would have proclaimed him King; this, however, refused by him, must have excited the hatred of the Jewish rulers, and the jealousy of the Roman government; and, speaking after the manner of men, his farther preachings and miracles must have been impeded. This alone seems to be the reason why he said to the leper, See thou tell no man. Show thyself... read more
