Matthew 15:29-31 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 15:29-39

Here is, I. A general account of Christ's cures, his curing by wholesale. The tokens of Christ's power and goodness are neither scarce nor scanty; for there is in him an overflowing fulness. Now observe, 1. The place where these cures were wrought; it was near the sea of Galilee, a part of the country Christ was much conversant with. We read not of any thing he did in the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, but the casting of the devil out of the woman of Canaan's daughter, as if he took that journey on... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 15:29-39

15:29-39 And Jesus left there, and went to the Sea of Galilee; and he went up into a mountain, and he was sitting there; and great crowds came to him, bringing with them people who were lame and blind and deaf and maimed, and laid them at his feet, and he healed them, so that the crowd were amazed when they saw the dumb speaking, the maimed restored to soundness, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they praised the God of Israel. Jesus called his disciples to him. "My... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 15:29-39

In this passage we see fully displayed the graciousness and the sheer kindness of Jesus Christ. We see him relieving every kind of human need. (i) We see him curing physical disability. The lame, the maimed, the blind and the dumb are laid at his feet and cured. Jesus is infinitely concerned with the bodily pain of the world; and those who bring men health and healing are still doing the work of Jesus Christ. (ii) We see him concerned for the tired. The people are tired and he wants to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:29

And Jesus departed from thence ,.... From the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, where he would have been private and retired; but being discovered, and knowing that the fame of this last miracle would make him more public in those parts, he removed, and passed through the midst of the coast of Decapolis, as Mark says, "and came nigh unto the sea of Galilee": the same with the sea of Tiberias. John 6:1 , that is, he came to those parts of Galilee, which lay near the sea side, and went into a... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:30

And great multitudes came unto him ,.... From the adjacent places; having heard of his being where he was; and who had either attended on him before, or, however, the fame of him, and his miracles, had reached their ears: these flocked to him, having with them, in their hands, or arms, or upon their backs, or shoulders, leading some, and carrying others, in some form or another, those that were lame ; either in their legs, or arms: blind ; in one eye, or both, and that either from... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 15:31

Insomuch that the multitude wondered ,.... The multitude of the spectators, who, though they came in expectation of seeing miracles wrought, yet these were so much beyond what they could have imagined, that they were amazed and surprised to see cures so instantly performed, in such a miraculous manner: these were such glaring proofs and evidences of the wonderful power of God, that they were astonished when they saw the dumb to speak ; that is, such who before were dumb, now spoke; and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:29

Went up into a mountain - Το ορος , The mountain. "Meaning," says Wakefield, "some particular mountain which he was accustomed to frequent; for, whenever it is spoken of at a time when Jesus is in Galilee, it is always discriminated by the article. Compare Matthew 4:18 , with Matthew 5:1 ; and Matthew 13:54 , with Matthew 14:23 ; and Matthew 28:16 . I suppose it was mount Tabor." read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:30

Those that were - maimed - Κυλλους . Wetstein has fully proved that those who had lost a hand, foot, etc., were termed κυλλοι by the Greeks. Kypke has shown, from Hippocrates, that the word was also used to signify those who had distorted or dislocated legs, knees, hands, etc. Mr. Wakefield is fully of opinion that it means here those who had lost a limb, and brings an incontestable proof from Matthew 18:8 ; Mark 9:43 . "If thy hand cause thee to offend, Cut It Off; it is better for... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:31

The multitude wondered - And well they might, when they had such proofs of the miraculous power and love of God before their eyes. Blessed be God! the same miracles are continued in their spiritual reference. All the disorders of the soul are still cured by the power of Jesus. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 15:29

Verse 29 Matthew 15:29.And Jesus departing thence. Though it is unquestionably the same journey of Christ, on his return from the neighborhood of Sidon, that is related by Matthew and by Mark, yet in some points they do not quite agree. It is of little moment that the one says he came to the borders of Magdala, and the other, that he came to the coasts of Dalmanutha; for the cities were adjacent, being situated on the lake of Gennesareth, and we need not wonder that the district which lay... read more
