Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 3:13-17

13-17 Christ's gracious condescensions are so surprising, that even the strongest believers at first can hardly believe them; so deep and mysterious, that even those who know his mind well, are apt to start objections against the will of Christ. And those who have much of the Spirit of God while here, see that they need to apply to Christ for more. Christ does not deny that John had need to be baptized of him, yet declares he will now be baptized of John. Christ is now in a state of... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 3:1-99

Matthew 3 THE THIRD CHAPTER presents John the Baptist without any preliminaries as to his birth or origin. He fulfilled Isaiah’s prophecy; he preached in the wilderness apart from the haunts of men; in clothing and food he was apart from the customs of men; his theme was repentance, in view of the nearness of the kingdom of heaven. It was a very unique ministry. What other preacher has selected a wilderness as the geographical sphere of his ministry? Philip the evangelist went indeed to the... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 3:13

Baptism of Jesus. The time had now come for Jesus to enter upon His ministry, to be inducted into His office by a public ceremony: v. 13. Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be baptized of him. He now came forth from His concealment, while John was at the very height of his evangelistic career. He came down to John, not like the Pharisees and Sadducees, who really all the while rejected God's counsel against themselves, Luke 7:30, but in an open, friendly manner, to enter... read more

B. Matthew 3:13-17(Second Pericope on Sunday after the Feast of Circumcision or New Year)Contents.—He who baptizes with the Spirit, and with fire, humbles Himself to submit to the baptism of water, administered to a sinful community. From this communion with sinners the Father exalts Him into communion with the blessed Trinity. The Baptist points Him out to the people as the Messiah promised to the fathers.13Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to [the] Jordan unto John, to be baptized of [by] him.... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 3:13-17

Baptized with the Spirit Matthew 3:13-17 While John was denouncing the sins of others, he was very conscious of his own. He melted in holy humility before the one nature in which his keen eye detected no trace of impurity, and he strenuously strove to forbid the incongruity of his polluted hands baptizing so pure a being as he felt Christ to be. Our Lord accepted the disclaimer but overruled it. He alone of all holy men had no consciousness of sin. “He did no sin, neither was guile found in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 3:1-17

Here ends the old prophetic line, John being the last of the Hebrew prophets. It found a fitting end in the stem ascetic who roused the nation and with vehement passion denounced their rebellion, and announced the King in the words, "Repent ye, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." The herald graphically proclaimed the nature of the King's work. Scattering and destructive, witness the fan and the fire. Purifying and constructive, witness the cleansing and the gathering. What a thrill must... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 3:1-17

The Preaching and Baptism of John Matthew 3:1-17 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We wish to present the great theme of John the Baptist as he preached in the wilderness of Judea. 1. There is the positive statement, "The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Was John mistaken? Some say so; we say nay. The Kingdom of Heaven was at hand, because the King was at hand. If John were mistaken, then Christ was also mistaken, for we read in Matthew 4:17 : "From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 3:1-17

SECTION 2. THE BIRTH AND RISE OF JESUS THE MESSIAH (THE CHRIST) (1:18-4:25). In this section, following the introduction, Matthew reveals the greatness of Jesus the Christ. He will now describe the unique birth of Jesus, the homage paid to Him by important Gentiles, His exile and protection in Egypt followed by His subsequent bringing forth out of Egypt to reside in lowly Nazareth, His being drenched with the Holy Spirit as God’s beloved Son and Servant, His temptations in the wilderness which... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 3:11-17

The Coming One (3:11-17). John’s large-scale ministry having been established in these few verses, Matthew now turns his attention to Jesus. We do not know how long John had been preaching before this incident now described occurred, but that he had a widespread and effective ministry, possibly over a number of years, Josephus also testifies. What we do know from external sources is that his ministry was so effective and so far reaching that disciples of John were found around the world for... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 3:13

‘Then comes Jesus from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptised by him.’ Having described what is to be, Matthew now moves on to the first stage of its coming into fruition. Jesus travels from Galilee to where John is preaching by the Jordan in order to be baptised by him. This was an act of deliberate and determined choice. By it Jesus demonstrated that He thoroughly approved of the ministry of John, and saw it as the work of God on behalf of Israel. It was the picture of what God was... read more
