Matthew 24:51

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

Chapter 18The Prophecy on the Mount - Matthew 24:1-51 & Matthew 25:1-46WE have seen that though the Saviour’s public ministry is now closed, He still has a private ministry to discharge-a ministry of counsel and comfort to His beloved disciples, whom He soon must leave in a world where tribulation awaits them on every side. Of this private ministry the chief remains are the beautiful words of consolation left on record by St. John (13-17), and the valuable words of prophetic warning... read more

24:51 And shall {y} cut him asunder, and appoint [him] his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.(y) That is, from the rest, or will cut him into two pieces, which was a most cruel kind of punishment: with which, as Justin Martyr witnesses, Isaiah the Prophet was executed by the Jews: the same kind of punishment we read of in 1 Samuel 15:33 and Daniel 3:29 . read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:1-51

He leaves the temple, and in Matthew is not seen there again. What can it be now without its proper Inhabitant? But the disciples draw His attention to the ornate buildings that were really only the work of men's hands. He tells them solemnly that of all this grandeur not one stone would be left upon another. Not many years later (in 70A.D.) the Romans destroyed the city and burned the temple. It remained in a ruined state for many years; but it is reported that the Emperor Julian "the... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 24:1-51

THINGS TO COME The present lesson connects itself with the last without a break. The disciples, mystified by what our Lord said about the “house,” i.e., the temple, being left “desolate” (23:38), called His attention to its grandeur and strength (Matthew 24:1 ). His further observation (Matthew 24:2 ) deepened their wonder, hence their improvement of the opportunity on the Mount of Olives for the questions of verse three. The first was answered by the destruction of the temple under Titus,... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 24:42-51

Chapter 84 Prayer Almighty God, thou art always coming: behold Jesus Christ is born amongst us every day, every night the shepherds sing and hear the song of the angels, and are filled with great joy because the delivering life has come into the world. May Christ be born in us the hope of glory, and may he come to us with the light of every morning, and shine upon us all the night long through every star. Enable us always to hear the footfall of thy coming, that we may always watch and be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 24:37-51

"But as the days of Noe were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (38) For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, (39) And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. (40) Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. (41) Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken,... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 24:51

REFLECTIONS Blessed Lord Jesus! be thou everlastingly loved and adored, in that thou earnest forth from the bosom of the Father, to make known the sacred purposes of his holy will and which were all purposed in Christ Jesus before the world began. And blessed be thy name for that love and grace in thine heart, in having taught thy people their safety amidst all the judgments going on in the world; and amidst all the deceptions of devils and men lying in wait to deceive. Yes! yes! thou dearest... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 24:42-51

42-51 To watch for Christ's coming, is to maintain that temper of mind which we would be willing that our Lord should find us in. We know we have but a little time to live, we cannot know that we have a long time to live; much less do we know the time fixed for the judgment. Our Lord's coming will be happy to those that shall be found ready, but very dreadful to those that are not. If a man, professing to be the servant of Christ, be an unbeliever, covetous, ambitious, or a lover of pleasure,... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 24:1-99

Matthew 24 ALL THAT WE have been reading, from Mat_21:23 , had taken place in the temple precincts. Now, Mat_24:1 , Jesus departed, and the disciples desired to call His attention to some of its splendid buildings, only to draw from Him the prediction that it was to be razed to its foundations. This started their enquiries as to the time of the fulfilment of His saying, which they connected with the end of the age. The first words of His reply show that His predictions are to forewarn and... read more
