Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:1-28

Jesus Is Confirmed As The Son of God, Begins To Establish His New Congregation, Reaches Out To Gentiles, Is Acknowledged As Messiah By His Disciples, and Reveals His Inherent Glory (13:53-17:27). The advance of the Kingly Rule of Heaven leading up to the final consummation having been made clear by His parables Jesus is now confirmed as the Son of God (Matthew 14:33; Matthew 16:16; Matthew 18:26) and begins to establish a new open community (Matthew 14:13-21; Matthew 15:32-39; Matthew 16:18;... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:21-27

Jesus Reveals That As The Messiah and Son of Man He Must Suffer (16:21-27). Jesus declares that the way of suffering lies ahead for Him as the Messiah, and when Peter tries to show Him His ‘error’, He rebukes Peter and points out that all those who follow Him must choose the way of suffering. That is the way forward in order to establish His Kingly Rule over men’s lives. Contrary winds must be faced by those who would reach ‘the other side’. And then, when He returns in the glory of His Father... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:26

“For what will a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?” ’ So He puts to those who were following Him (and to us) the ultimate challenge. Of what advantage is there for anyone to gain the whole world and as a result forfeit eternal life? And if he failed to follow Christ what could a man possibly offer to God in exchange for his life? Jesus knew the temptation. He had been offered the whole world by Satan... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 16:13-28

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 16:26

Our interpreters, by translating the same word soul in this verse which they had translated life Matthew 16:25, let us know that they understood it here of that essential part of man which we call the soul, in which sense it could not be understood in that verse, for it is impossible in that sense to lose our soul for Christ’s sake. Some think that it hath the same sense here as in that verse, and that our Saviour argues here from the less to the greater, thus: Men will lose any thing rather... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 16:20-28

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 16:20. Tell no man.—Jesus had not, even to His Apostles, said that He was the Christ, but He left it that they might discover it themselves from the testimony of facts. It was not suitable, therefore, that that should be openly told by the Apostles to others before His resurrection which was to corroborate the whole testimony to the fact of His being the Christ. For he who injudiciously propounds a mystery to those who do not comprehend it, injures both himself and others.... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:21-26

Matthew 16:21-26 Great Purposes and Interruptive Voices. "From that time forth began Jesus to show unto His disciples how that He must go." Special emphasis should be laid upon the word "must," in order to discover the depth and range of the idea which the speaker seeks to convey. The emphasis, so placed, gives us the utterance of a great purpose. "Then Peter took Him, and began to rebuke Him." This is an interruptive voice. Christ and Peter set before us the broadest contrasts in human... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:24-28

Matthew 16:24-28 The Eucharist considered as a participation in the unselfish life of Christ. I. From the day of his temptation, when He refused to prove Himself the Son of God by doing any work to support Himself, or to make His power manifest, or to take possession of His kingdom from that day forward to His death, He was practising self-denial, and so was revealing the Father to men. The cross was the gathering up of all that previous sacrifice. And having proved this to be the true life of... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 16:26

Matthew 16:26 Let us consider why the saying of our Lord in the text, while generally admitted to be true, is yet so little laid to heart. I. Because we are accustomed to admit freely the incomparable worth of the soul, but without a clear perception of that in which its worth consists. We feel the unique dignity of our own position in creation. We can compare ourselves with the world around us; and it and all that it can offer of possession and power, of enjoyment and honour, is beneath the... read more

DISCOURSE: 1377THE WORTH OF THE SOULMatthew 16:26. What is a man profited, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?THE precepts of the Gospel oppose our natural inclination. They are also in many respects adverse to our worldly interests. The whole of Christianity is a system of self-denial. Hence none cordially embrace it till they have learned to take eternity into their estimate of present things. Our Lord therefore, having... read more
