Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:13-20

Peter Openly Confesses That Jesus Is The Messiah (16:13-20). In Matthew 11:25-27 Jesus had spoken of the fact it was His Father who revealed things to ‘babes’, including the truth about the Son Whom He alone fully knows, and that He Himself as the Son, reveals the Father to whom He wills. Now we are provided with the first prominent example of one who has had revealed to him, by the Father, the truth about the Son. Challenging His disciples as to how they see Him Peter replies that He is the... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:19

“I will give to you the keys of the kingly rule of heaven, and whatever you will bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven.” ’ Peter then continues to be honoured for what he has said, but we must remember that the privilege he receives is that of a servant, not of a master. He is to be given 'the keys of the Kingly Rule of Heaven' (but not necessarily the only keys). He will be, as it were, ‘a doorkeeper to the house of the... read more

Matthew 16:13-Hosea : . The Great Confession and the First View of the Cross ( Mark 8:27-Zechariah : *, Luke 9:18-Daniel :).— Omitting the cure of the blind man (but cf. Matthew 9:27-Micah :), Mt. passes to the significant episode of Cæ sarea Philippi. Matthew 16:13-Nehemiah : = Mark 8:27-Joel :, but note the substitution ( Matthew 16:13) of “ Son of Man” for “ I,” which gives the position away (especially if we read “ I, the Son of Man” ), and the addition of Jeremiah ( Matthew 16:14),... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 16:19

And I will give unto thee; not unto thee exclusively, that is, to thee and no others; for as we no where read of any such power used by Peter, so our Saviour’s first question, Whom think you that I am? Letteth us know that his speech, though directed to Peter only, (who in the name of the rest first answered), concerned the rest of the apostles as well as Peter. Besides, as we know that the other apostles had as well as he the key of knowledge and doctrine, and by their preaching opened the... read more

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 16:13. Coasts.—Parts (R.V.). I.e. neighbourhood. There were various inhabited places in the locality (see Mark 8:27). Cæsarea Philippi.—Probably on the site of the Old Testament Baalgad (Joshua 11:17), at the foot of Hermon, built by Philip the tetrarch, and distinguished by his name from other Cæsareas (Macpherson’s Bible Dictionary). This conversation at Cæsarea Philippi is universally regarded as marking a new era in the life of Christ. His rejection by “His own” is now... read more

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my Church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 16:19

keys of the kingdom Not the keys of the church, but of the kingdom of heaven in the sense of Mat 13., i.e. the sphere of Christian profession. A key is a badge of power or authority (cf) Isaiah 22:22; Revelation 3:7. The apostolic history explains and limits this trust, for it was Peter who opened the door of Christian opportunity to Israel on the day of Pentecost Acts 2:38-42 and to Gentiles in the house of Cornelius. Acts 10:34-46. There was no assumption by Peter of any other authority Acts... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:1-28

The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came [And now they are seeking to trap Him], and they desire that he would show them a sign from heaven. And he answered and said unto them: When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, you say, It's gonna be foul weather today: for the sky is red, and lowering. O you hypocrites, you can discern the face of the sky; but you can not discern the signs of the times? ( Matthew 16:1-3 )Now the Lord is rebuking... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 16:1-28

Matthew 16:1 . The pharisees also with the sadducees came, soliciting a sign from heaven: Matthew 12:38. This was the second time, and they received the appellation of hypocrites, as professing the highest attainments of oriental literature, and yet blind as to the signs of the times. If they could augur future weather from present appearances of the sky, why not discern the aspects of providence, and study the signs of the times? The weeks of Daniel were coming to a completion. In Herod... read more
