F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 19:23-30

Riches in the Kingdom Matthew 19:23-30 Money is not an unmixed good. It brings in its train many temptations. It is easier to bear poverty than wealth-easier to be a saint when life is hard than when prosperity lavishes her gifts. When the Pope was showing St. Francis of Assisi the treasures of the Vatican, he remarked: “We can hardly say with the Apostle, ‘Silver and gold have we none.’” Francis replied aptly and incisively: “Yes, holy father, and I suppose we can hardly say either, ‘Rise... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 19:1-30

The Pharisees approached Him with a question concerning divorce. The force of His reply is in the words "from the beginning." He had no opinions apart from the will and intention of God. As God willed, so let it be! "Why did Moses then command?" His answer is a contradiction of their main position. "Moses . . . suffered." He did not command, but because of the people's hardness of heart he suffered. Marriage, not celibacy, is the law of life, yet the Master recognizes that celibacy will be the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 19:30

POSITIONS REVERSED‘Many that are first shall be last; and the last shall be first.’ Matthew 19:30 These words are fulfilled under the Gospel in many ways. In the context they embody a great principle, which we all, indeed, acknowledge, but are deficient in mastering. I. Under the dispensation of the Spirit all things were to become new, and to be reversed. Strength, numbers, wealth, philosophy, eloquence, craft, experience of life, knowledge of human nature, these are the means by which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 19:3-30

Analysis Of The Section Matthew 19:3 to Matthew 22:46 . This whole Section may be analysed as follows: a Jesus’ testing commences with a question about divorce. b Jesus questions the Pharisees about what the Scriptures say. Scripture has demonstrated that God is the Creator and Lord over all, and that man cannot change what God has in His sovereignty declared, that a man and woman are to cleave together and become one flesh, which no man is to put asunder. Their relationship is unique.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 19:27

‘Then answered Peter and said to him, “Lo, we have left all, and followed you. What then shall we have?” ’ Peter’s question reflects the growing desire and expectation among the disciples of a future that is unfolding which will shortly result in their receiving their ‘reward’ for following Jesus. At this stage it is constantly reflected. See for example Matthew 20:20-24; Mark 9:33-35; Luke 9:46; Luke 22:24-27; and even after the resurrection in Acts 1:6. They were looking, in accordance with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 19:27-29

The Basis Of The New Kingly Rule - Jesus Now Explains The Future For All Who Fully Follow Him (19:27-29). In order to fully appreciate what Jesus now says here we need to consider the similar words spoken at the Last Supper as described in Luke 22:24-30. There the context is specifically that of the disciples having false ideas about their future role, and Jesus is warning them that such ideas are to be quashed because they are dealing with something totally different than they know. There it... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 19:28

‘And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that you who have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit on the throne of his glory, you also will sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” ’ And Jesus confirms the promise. But He is signifying a very different thing from what they are expecting. The renewal is coming, the time of blessing promised by the prophets, the time of the ‘becoming again’. For the King will shortly take the throne of His glory... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 19:29

“And every one who has left houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, will receive a hundredfold, and will inherit eternal life.” And it is not only they who will be blessed in this life. All who along with them have left houses and family and lands ‘for His sake’, they also will receive a hundred fold ‘in this time’ (Mark 9:30), and will finally inherit eternal life. Thus the way of following Jesus will be a way of great blessing on... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 19:30

“But many will be last who are first, and first who are last.” After referring to the blessings that His disciples will enjoy as they labour for Him Jesus adds a warning to make all beware of presumption. Presumption is to be avoided because all will be rewarded equally, and God will deal with each one as He wills. This statement would sit very strangely if He had already just promised thrones to the Apostles as a guaranteed future blessing after they had performed their labours, and especially... read more
