Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 8:5-13

We have here an account of Christ's curing the centurion's servant of a palsy. This was done at Capernaum, where Christ now dwelt, Matt. 4:13. Christ went about doing good, and came home to do good too; every place he came to was the better for him. The persons Christ had now to do with were, 1. A centurion; he was a supplicant, a Gentile, a Roman, an officer of the army; probably commander-in-chief of that part of the Roman army which was quartered at Capernaum, and kept garrison there. (1.)... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 8:14-17

They who pretend to be critical in the Harmony of the evangelists, place this passage, and all that follows to the end of Matt. 8:14-9:38 before the sermon on the mount, according to the order which Mark and Luke observe in placing it. Dr. Lightfoot places only this passage before the sermon on the mount, and Matt. 8:18 after. Here we have, I. A particular account of the cure of Peter's wife's mother, who was ill of a fever; in which observe, 1. The case, which was nothing extraordinary;... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 8:18-22

Here is, I. Christ's removing to the other side of the sea of Tiberias, and his ordering his disciples, whose boats attended him, to get their transport-vessels ready, in order to it, Matt. 8:18. The influences of this Sun of righteousness were not to be confined to one place, but diffused all the country over; he must go about to do good; the necessities of souls called to him, Come over, and help us (Acts 16:9); he removed when he saw great multitudes about him. Though by this it appeared... 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 8:5

And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum ,.... Was returned from his journey through Galilee, to the place where he before dwelt, and is called his own city, Matthew 9:1 there came unto him a centurion , a Roman officer, שר מאה , "a commander of an hundred men", as the Hebrew Gospel by Munster reads it: though the number of men under a "centurion" was more, according to some accounts. "A band (it is said F7 Alex. ab Alex. Genial. Dier. l. 6. c. 13. ) made two centuries,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:6

And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home ,.... It would be a difficulty whether it was a son or a servant he was so concerned for; since παις , the word here used, more commonly signifies a "son" or "child"; but that Luke, supposing it to be the same case he relates, expressly calls him δουλος , "a servant", Luke 7:2 . The concern of the "centurion" for him, shows him to have been a good servant, faithful and obedient to his master; since he was so much affected with his case, and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:7

And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. This answer of Christ's, which is short and full, not only shows the readiness of Christ to do good, how soon and easily he complied with the centurion's request, it being a prayer of faith, and so effectual, and was heard as soon as delivered; but also contains an absolute promise that he would heal him. He does not say that he would come and see him, and what his case was, and do what he could for him, as ordinary physicians do; but he... read more

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

The centurion answered, and said ,.... This, according to Luke 7:6 was said by his friends in his name, when he understood that Christ had agreed to come to his house, with the elders of the Jews, he first sent to him; and after he was actually set out with them, and was in the way to his house; who, conscious of his own unworthiness, deputes some persons to him, to address him in this manner, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldst come under my roof . This is not said as rejecting... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:9

For I am a man under authority ,.... Of Caesar the Roman emperor, and of superior officers under him, as a tribune, &c.; having soldiers under me ; an hundred of them at least, for military service, and some of them were used by him as his domestics: and I say unto this man go, and he goeth, and to another come, and he cometh : for there is no disputing the commands of officers, by soldiers, in anything, in exercises, marches, battles, &c.; and to my servant , that was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:10

When Jesus heard it, he marvelled ,.... Which must be understood of him as man; for as God, nothing could present itself unto him at unawares, unthought of, and not known before; and so could not raise admiration in him, and which cannot properly fall on a divine person: or he behaved, both by words and gesture, as persons do when they are astonished at anything; and this he might do, to raise the attention and wonder of those that were with him: and said to them that followed . This... read more
