matthew-25:35

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 25:35

For I was hungry, &c. We may take notice, that the wicked at the day of judgment, are said to be condemned for having omitted to perform good works. (Witham) --- St. Augustine, in his 33d sermon, brings a beautiful reason why the kingdom of heaven is bestowed solely upon the works of mercy, and eternal damnation for the neglect of them; viz. because, however just a man may be, still he has failings to atone for, on account of which the kingdom of heaven might be justly denied him: but... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:31-46

31-46 This is a description of the last judgment. It is as an explanation of the former parables. There is a judgment to come, in which every man shall be sentenced to a state of everlasting happiness, or misery. Christ shall come, not only in the glory of his Father, but in his own glory, as Mediator. The wicked and godly here dwell together, in the same cities, churches, families, and are not always to be known the one from the other; such are the weaknesses of saints, such the hypocrisies of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 25:1-99

Matthew 25 THE PARABLE OF the ten virgins opens this chapter. This world presents a very tangled scene in every direction. The coming of the Lord is going to produce a thorough disentanglement. We have already seen this in the parables of the wheat and the tares, and that of the net cast into the sea, in Matthew 13.0 , and again in the verses we have just considered at the close of Matthew 24.0 . The same great fact meets us again in this fresh similitude of the kingdom of heaven. The Lord had... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 25:34-40

The sentence upon the righteous: v. 34. Then shall the King say unto them on His right hand, Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. v. 5. For I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took Me in; v. 36. naked, and ye clothed Me; I was sick, and ye visited Me; I was in prison, and ye came unto Me. v. 37. Then shall the righteous answer Him, saying, Lord, when saw we... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 25:31-46

Matthew THE KING ON HIS JUDGMENT THRONE Mat_25:31 - Mat_25:46 . The teachings of that wonderful last day of Christ’s ministry, which have occupied so many of our pages, are closed with this tremendous picture of universal judgment. It is one to be gazed upon with silent awe, rather than to be commented on. There is fear lest, in occupying the mind in the study of the details, and trying to pierce the mystery it partly unfolds, we should forget our own individual share in it. Better to burn... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 25:31-46

Serve Christ by Serving Others Matthew 25:31-46 We are called to watch the procedure of God’s moral government. This is primarily a forecast of the judgment of the nations, Matthew 25:32 . It would seem as though, in the first instance, their doom will be largely affected by their treatment of the Hebrew people, the brethren of Jesus after the flesh, Matthew 25:40 . Probably this parable is being enacted before our eyes-Spain in the Cuban war and Russia today. But the parable has a wider... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 25:1-46

"Then." This gives us the time in which the Kingdom of Heaven will be likened unto ten virgins. That Kingdom passes through many phases, but just before the coming of the King this will be its character. Note especially that the ten virgins are required to give a correct idea of the Kingdom. Again, to interpret the next parable rightly, we must remember it concerns the servants of the King. He has not committed His goods to rebels, but to His own. To apply this parable to all men is to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:32-46

The Final Judgment (25:32-46). That this is the final judgment comes out in that its verdict determines the eternal destiny of men (Matthew 25:46). It should be noted that it is not said to take place on earth, it includes everyone, that is ‘all the nations’, whether living or dead, for all the dead await His coming too. (See John 5:28-29; Compare Ezekiel 32:17-32 where the nations as nations are in their graves on earth awaiting judgment; Psalms 2:9 with Matthew 25:1 where the nations are... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 25:35-36

“For I was hungry, and you gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave me drink; I was a stranger, and you took me in; naked, and you clothed me; I was sick, and you visited me; I was in prison, and you came to me.” The reason for His verdict is given. It lies in what they have revealed themselves to be (compare especially Isaiah 58:7; Ezekiel 18:5-9). They have revealed their love for Him by how they have behaved towards ‘His brothers’. By their behaviour they have revealed that they are true... read more
