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 8:14

And when Jesus was come into Peter's house ,.... And which was also Andrew's, Mark 1:29 for these two brothers lived together, and this was in Capernaum, as appears from the context. Though Andrew and Peter were originally of Bethsaida, a place not far from this, but had removed hither since their call by Christ, this being his city; though probably this house was Peter's wife's mother's, and only called their's, because they lodged there, whilst in this city: into this house Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:15

And he touched her hand ,.... Sometimes he healed by a word, as the centurion's servant; and sometimes by a touch, as here; and sometimes by both, as the leper. Luke says, that he "stood over her", reached over her to take her by the hand, and lift her up, "and rebuked the fever". Just as he did the winds and sea, having all diseases, as well as the elements, at his beck and control; and the fever left her immediately, as the other evangelists say. And she arose and ministered unto... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:16

When the even was come ,.... The other evangelists say, when "the sun was set", or "setting"; which circumstances are observed, not as some think, because the cool of the evening, and when the sun was set, it was more seasonable and convenient, in those hot countries, to bring out their sick, than in the heat of the day: nor are they remarked, as others think, because it was an unseasonable time to bring them to Christ, when he had been fatigued all day long, and yet he healed them; such was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:17

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet ,.... In Isaiah 53:4 "He hath borne our griefs and carried our sorrows", here rendered, himself took our infirmities and bare our sicknesses : very agreeable to the Hebrew text, הוא , "he himself", not another; נשא , "took up", upon himself voluntarily, freely, as a man lifts up a burden, and takes it on his shoulders; חלינו , "our infirmities", diseases, sicknesses, whether of body or soul, ומכאבינו סבלם ,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:18

Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him ,.... Who got together, partly out of novelty to see his person, of whom they had heard so much; and partly to see the miracles he wrought: some came to have their bodily diseases healed; few, if any, to hear the Gospel preached by him, and for the good of their immortal souls: the most part came with some sinister, selfish, and carnal views, wherefore he gave commandment to depart unto the other side . Different were the reasons, which at... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:19

And a certain Scribe came ,.... "As they went in the way", Luke 9:57 to go to the sea side, in order to take shipping, and pass to the other shore; and said unto him, Master, or Rabbi, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest . One would have thought, that this man desired in good earnest to be a disciple of Christ, were it not for Christ's answer to him, who knew his heart: from whence it appears, that he, seeing the miracles which Christ wrought, and observing the fame of him... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 8:20

And Jesus saith unto him ,.... Knowing his heart, and the carnal and worldly views with which he acted; the foxes have holes in the earth, where they hide themselves from danger, take their rest, and secure their whelps; and the birds of the air have nests , where they sit, lay, and hatch their eggs, and bring up their young; but the son of man has not where to lay his head , when he is weary, and wants rest and sleep, as he did at this time. So that though he was Lord of all, as... read more
