Matthew 27:30

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:1-56

Chapter 19The Great Atonement Day - Matthew 26:1-75 - Matthew 27:1-56WE enter now on the story of the last day of the mortal life of our Lord and Saviour. We have already noticed the large proportionate space given to the Passion Week; but still more remarkable is the concentration of interest on the Passion Day. The record of that single day is very nearly one-ninth of the whole book; and a similar proportion is observed by all the four Evangelists. This proportion of space is very striking... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:1-66

All night the Lord Jesus had been subjected to the persecution of the Jewish council. Now early in the morning, determined that He might be put to death as soon as possible, they bring Him bound to the Roman governor, Pilate. Roman law did not allow the Jews to pass a death sentence (John 19:6-7), so they were urgent in their demand that Pilate should take this responsibility. It seems that Judas had thought that the Lord would have no difficulty in delivering Himself from the power of the... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 27:20-54

Chapter 92 Prayer Almighty God, we come to thee through the crucified One as through the only way by which we can find access to thy throne. We stand by the cross, and as we look up into the eyes of the dying Sufferer, our sin finds out all the meaning of his great work. He was delivered for our offences, he was bruised for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was upon him. By his stripes are we healed. We know not all the mystery of this love: it is enough for us to know that it... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 27:27-31

"Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. (28) And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. (29) And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! (30) And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head. (31) And after that they had mocked him, they took the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 27:26-30

26-30 Crucifixion was a death used only among the Romans; it was very terrible and miserable. A cross was laid on the ground, to which the hands and feet were nailed, it was then lifted up and fixed upright, so that the weight of the body hung on the nails, till the sufferer died in agony. Christ thus answered the type of the brazen serpent raised on a pole. Christ underwent all the misery and shame here related, that he might purchase for us everlasting life, and joy, and glory. read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 27:1-99

Matthew 27 THE CLOSING SCENES of the Lord’s life are told by Matthew in a way that emphasizes the excessive guilt of the leaders of Israel. This feature has been noticeable all through, and we specially see it in Matthew 23.0 . The opening verses of this chapter show us that though His official condemnation had to come from Pilate, yet the animus that hounded Him to His death was found with them. The sequence of the story is broken by a parenthetical paragraph giving us the miserable end of... read more
