Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 22:54-62

We have here the melancholy story of Peter's denying his Master, at the time when he was arraigned before the high priest, and those that were of the cabal, that were ready to receive the prey, and to prepare the evidence for his arraignment, as soon as it was day, before the great sanhedrim, Luke 22:66. But notice is not taken here, as was in the other evangelists, of Christ's being now upon his examination before the high priest, only of his being brought into the high priest's house, Luke... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:61

And the Lord turned ,.... Himself, his back being to Peter, whilst he was examining before the high priest; but he knew full well what was doing, what had been said to Peter, and how often he had denied him: and looked upon Peter ; with his bodily eyes, with great earnestness, expressing in his looks concern and pity for him; for it was a look, not of wrath and resentment, but of love and mercy, and power went along with it; it was not only a signal to Peter, to put him in remembrance of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:47-63

Christianity and violence. The use of the sword by Peter, and the presence of "swords and staves" in the hands of the officers, suggest to us the connection between Jesus Christ (and his disciples) and the employment of violence; and this both by them and against them. I. THE UNSEEMLINESS OF VIOLENCE USED AGAINST JESUS CHRIST AND HIS DISCIPLES . It is true that there was something worse than the weapons of violence in that garden; the traitor's kiss was very much... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:54-71

Christ's trials in the high priest's palace. The agony of Gethsemane is over, and our Lord has met his enemies in the calmness of real courage. He allows himself to be led to the palace of the high priest, and we have now to consider all the trials through which he passed there. The first of these is from Peter. Love to the Master keeps the disciple in the train of the procession, and even leads him to linger without until through John's good offices he gets into the hall. But, alas!... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:61

And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter . As he was passing from the interrogation before Caiaphas to be examined before the Sanhedrin assembled in solemn council, he heard his servant's well-known voice raised and accompanied with oaths and curses, assuring the by-standers he had no connection with and knew nothing of Jesus of Nazareth. Then, as he passed, the Master turned and looked on his old friend, that disciple who so lately had declared that even if all others deserted the Lord,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:61

The look of our Lord. "And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter." What was there then, and what is there now, in the glance of Jesus Christ? I. HIS LOOK OF PENETRATION . We read of one of the earliest disciples being convinced by our Lord's discernment of him under the thick foliage of the fig tree; he was then told to look for greater things than that ( John 1:50 ). And surely one of those greater things was found in that penetration which saw through the thicker covering... read more
