马太福音 17:25 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 17:24-27

We have here an account of Christ's paying tribute. I. Observe how it was demanded, Matt. 17:24. Christ was now at Capernaum, his headquarters, where he mostly resided; he did not keep from thence, to decline being called upon for his dues, but rather came thither, to be ready to pay them. 1. The tribute demanded was not any civil payment to the Roman powers, that was strictly exacted by the publicans, but the church-duties, the half shekel, about fifteen pence, which were required from every... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 17:24-27

17:24-27 When they came to Capernaum, those who received the half-shekel Temple tax came to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the tax?" Peter said, "He does pay it." When he had gone into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said to him, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings take tax and tribute? From their sons or from strangers?" When he said, "From strangers," Jesus said to him, "So then the sons are free. But, so as not to set a stumbling-block in anyone's... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 17:24-27

Now we come to the story itself If we take it with a bald and crude literalism, it means that Jesus told Peter to go and catch a fish, and that he would find a stater in the fish's mouth which would be sufficient to pay the tax for both of them. It is not irrelevant to note that the gospel never tells us that Peter did so. The story ends with Jesus' saying. Before we begin to examine the story we must remember that all oriental people love to say a thing in the most dramatic and vivid way... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:25

He saith, yes ,.... Without any hesitation, knowing it had been his master's practice; and therefore as he had done it, did not doubt but he would again: and when he was come into the house ; that is, Peter, as both the Syriac and Persic versions express; when he was come into his own house, or at least into that where Christ was, in order to talk with him about this affair, the collectors had been speaking of to him, who seems to have been alone when they met with him; however, Christ... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:25

He saith, Yes - From this reply of Peter, it is evident that our Lord customarily paid all taxes, tributes, etc., which were common among the people wherever he came. The children of God are subject to all civil laws in the places where they live - and should pay the taxes levied on them by public authority; and though any of these should be found unjust, They rebel not, as their business is not to reform the politics of nations, but the morals of the world. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:25

Verse 25 25.He saith, Yes. Peter’s reply contains a modest excuse (580) to satisfy them: “he will pay,” (581) says he; from which we infer that Christ had formerly been accustomed to pay, for Peter promises it as a thing about which there was no doubt. That they address him rather than the other disciples was, as I conjecture, because Christ lived with him; for if all had occupied the same habitation, the demand would have been made on all alike. It is therefore very ridiculous in the Papists,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 17:22-27

Return to Galilee. I. REITERATED PREDICTIONS OF THE COMING PASSION . 1 . The Lord alone with the twelve . He returns to Galilee, but no longer for teaching. He revisits the old familiar spots with the shadow of death closing round him. He was not followed by multitudes as of old. He "passed through Galilee; and he would not that any man should know it" ( Mark 9:30 ). He confined his teaching to the little circle of his apostles. He sought to prepare them for the awful... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 17:22-27

Greatness in submission The originality of Jesus meets us at every turn. The men of this world seek greatness in self-assertion and resistance—by force and cunning. Christ exhibits it in condescension and patience. I. THE GREATNESS OF JESUS IS SEEN IN HIS PASSION . 1 . His submission there was voluntary . (a) It was predicted. He was perfectly conversant with the prophets. (b) He enlarged upon their anticipations. How circumstantial are his words (see ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 17:24-27

The coin in the fish ' s mouth . This is one of the three miracles of our Lord which are peculiar to this Gospel St. Matthew seems to concern himself particularly with matters which present Jesus as King-Messiah; and this occurrence was in his view specially notable, as herein Christ claimed for himself a royal position—Son in his Father's house. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 17:24-27

Christ paying tribute. I. THE QUESTIONING DEMAND . The collectors of tribute asked with uncertainty, but perhaps also with suspicion and a desire to entrap St. Peter, whether Christ paid the regular temple tribute. This was expected of our Lord because he was a Jew. St. Peter answered in the affirmative without a moment's hesitation. This confidence of the apostle then induced Jesus to discuss the question. It is not reasonable to submit to any demand of men until its claim has been... read more
