马太福音 16:7-12 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 16:5-12

We have here Christ's discourse with his disciples concerning bread, in which, as in many other discourses, he speaks to them of spiritual things under a similitude, and they misunderstand him of carnal things. The occasion of it was, their forgetting to victual their ship, and to take along with them provisions for their family on the other side of the water; usually they carried bread along with them, because they were sometimes in desert places; and when they were not, yet they would not be... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 16:5-12

16:5-12 When the disciples came to the other side, they had forgotten to take loaves with them. Jesus said to them, "See that you beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees." They argued amongst themselves: "He must be saying this because we did not bring loaves." Jesus knew what they were thinking. "Why," he said, "are you arguing among yourselves, you of little faith, because you have no loaves? Do you not yet understand, and do you not remember the five loaves of the five... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:7

Either what should be the meaning of this caution of Christ's, and upon what account he should say this to them; or they were anxiously concerned what they should do for provision: saying, because we have taken no bread ; for the phrase, "it is", is a supplement, and is not in the original text, which confines the sense to the first way of interpretation; the words may be read without it, and confirms the other sense, and which receives strength from what follows. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:8

Which when Jesus perceived ,.... Without hearing any of their debates, but by his omniscience; for he knew the doubts and unbelief, and anxious solicitude of their minds, as well as their private reasonings one with another: he said unto them, O ye of little faith ; a phrase used upon a like occasion, when he would dissuade his disciples from an anxious distressing care about a livelihood, Matthew 6:30 ; see Gill on Matthew 6:30 , why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:9

Do ye not understand ,.... Meaning either the sense of the advice he had now given; or rather his almighty power displayed in the two miracles of feeding five thousand at one time, and four thousand at another, with a very small quantity of provision; for to this the word "understand" refers, as well as the following: neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Have you forgot what was so lately done, namely, the feeding five thousand men,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:10

Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand ,.... Have you forgot the other miracle done but a very little while ago, when I fed four thousand men, beside women and children, with seven loaves and a few small fishes; and how many baskets ye took up ? no less than seven large baskets; and am I not able to provide for you? distress not yourselves about this matter; give not way to unbelief, which must argue great stupidity and insensibility. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:11

How is it that ye do not understand ,.... That you should be so senseless and void of thought, after such instances, as to imagine, that I concerned myself about what bread you brought with you; one would think you could not but know, that I spake it not to you concerning bread , taken in a literal sense; but must be thought to speak figuratively and mystically, and to have an higher sense and meaning, when I said to you, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:12

Then understood they ,.... Without any further explication of his sense and meaning, how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread : which sense they first took him in; imagining, because the Pharisees were very particular and precise what sort of leaven they made use of F26 Misn. Pesach, c. 2. sect. 2,3. T. Hieros. Sabbat, fol. 3. 3. , that Christ forbad them buying bread that was made with leaven according to their directions: and since their rules in everything... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:7

They reasoned - For, as Lightfoot observes, the term leaven was very rarely used among the Jews to signify doctrine, and therefore the disciples did not immediately apprehend his meaning. In what a lamentable state of blindness is the human mind? Bodily wants are perceived with the utmost readiness, and a supply is sought with all speed. But the necessities of the soul are rarely discovered, though they are more pressing than those of the body, and the supply of them of infinitely more... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:8

When Jesus perceived, he said - Αυτοις , unto them, is wanting in BDKLMS, and twenty others; one of the Syriac, the Armenian, Ethiopia, Vulgate, and most of the Itala; also in Origen, Theophylact, and Lucifer Calaritanus. Mill approves of the omission, and Griesbach has left it out of the text. O ye of little faith - There are degrees in faith, as well as in the other graces of the Spirit. Little faith may be the seed of great faith, and therefore is not to be despised. But many who... read more
