F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 17:1-99

Matthew 17 THE TRANSFIGURATION, WITH which this chapter opens, furnished a view of the kingdom, inasmuch as Jesus Himself, shining as the sun, was the central figure, and with Him in heavenly conditions were Moses and Elias, whilst three disciples in earthly conditions had a share in it. The “bright cloud” which overshadowed them was evidently the reappearance of that which once dwelt on the tabernacle, and out of it spoke the voice of God the Father, declaring Jesus to be the Son, the beloved... read more

Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic and sore vexed; for ofttimes he falleth into the fire and oft into the water. v. 16. And I brought him to Thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

E. The Church as working Wonders by the Power of Spiritual Prayer and Fasting. Matthew 17:14-21(Mark 9:14-29; Luke 9:37-43.)14And when they21 were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain22 man, kneeling down to him, and saying, 15Lord, have mercy on my son; for he is lunatic [σεληνιάζεται], and sore vexed [sorely afflicted]:23 for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. 16And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not curehim. 17Then Jesus answered and... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 17:9-21

Lack of Faith Rebuked Matthew 17:9-21 As Raphael suggests in his great painting, there is a close connection between the mountain and the valley. The glory of the one did not make our Lord indifferent to the bitter need of the other. It seems as though He desired to impress on us the great truth, that we must have the seclusion and exaltation of communion with God before we can successfully deal with the anguish and terror that devastate human lives. See Matthew 17:21 . In Matthew 17:17 our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 17:1-27

"After six days." Days of silence. No record have we of what transpired in those days. The strange declarations of the Cross had crushed the hearts of these men. Now to three of their number, as special training for special work, was granted this wondrous vision of glory. The true force and meaning of all this they did not comprehend until the Spirit came. That then the value of the experience was appreciated is evident from Peter's reference to the vision ( 2Pe 1:16-19 ). Again a contrast!... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:1-27

Jesus Is Confirmed As The Son of God, Begins To Establish His New Congregation, Reaches Out To Gentiles, Is Acknowledged As Messiah By His Disciples, and Reveals His Inherent Glory (13:53-17:27). The advance of the Kingly Rule of Heaven leading up to the final consummation having been made clear by His parables Jesus is now confirmed as the Son of God (Matthew 14:33; Matthew 16:16; Matthew 18:26) and begins to establish a new open community (Matthew 14:13-21; Matthew 15:32-39; Matthew 16:18;... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:14

‘And when they were come to the crowd, there came to him a man, kneeling to him, saying,’ Coming down from a mountain regularly results in a crowd, for they would be waiting for Him (compare Matthew 8:1). We do not know which mountain this was but by now they were probably back in Galilee. This is confirmed in Mark by the presence of Scribes. The man knelt before Him in order to back up his plea. The word suggests humility and entreaty. read more

The Failure Of The Disciples To Cast Out A Demon (17:14-18). On arrival at the bottom of the mountain they came across a crowd of people who were with the disciples and there discovered that while Jesus was in the mountain they had been unable to heal a boy who gave the appearance of being epileptic as a result of the presence of a powerful demon active within him. Observing this Jesus expresses His concern at the faithlessness of that generation and heals the boy. This incident is always... read more

The Problem of Unbelief, The Reason For Unbelief, And The One Who Will Triumph Through Faith (17:14-23). At the commencement of this section we learned of the problem of unbelief (Matthew 13:58) which was connected with the power of Jesus and the idea of resurrection (Matthew 14:1-2). Now in this parallel passage we discover an example of unbelief in the disciples (Matthew 17:14-18), which is followed by describing the kind of faith that is required (Matthew 17:19-21) and the example of the... read more

Matthew 17:14-Ecclesiastes : . Healing of the Demoniac Boy ( Mark 9:14-Joel : *, Luke 9:37-John :).— The story is much shorter than in Mk. The reference to possession does not come till the end; in Matthew 17:15 the child is described as epileptic. Perhaps the story was told in Q. The father’ s appeal, “ Lord, have mercy” ( Matthew 17:15), gives us the well-known “ Kyrie eleison.” Instead of prayer (the verse ( Matthew 17:21) in Mt. is spurious) and fasting ( Mark 9:29), Jesus here puts the... read more
