Matthew 11:25-29

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 11:29-30

Matthew 11:29-30. Take my yoke upon you— The word yoke is used even by the heathen philosophers, to signify doctrine and precepts. St. John interpreting this passage in his first Epistle, 1Jn 1:3 substitutes the word commandments instead of yoke. The meaning is, "My doctrine and precepts are easy and pleasant; in which respect they are distinguished from the Mosaical ceremonies, and also from the traditionary precepts of your doctors, who bind up heavy loads of duty, and lay them upon men's... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:25

25. At that time Jesus answered and said—We are not to understand by this, that the previous discourse had been concluded, and that this is a record only of something said about the same period. For the connection is most close, and the word "answered"—which, when there is no one to answer, refers to something just before said, or rising in the mind of the speaker in consequence of something said—confirms this. What Jesus here "answered" evidently was the melancholy results of His ministry,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:26

26. Even so, Father; for so it seemed good—the emphatic and chosen term for expressing any object of divine complacency; whether Christ Himself (see on :-), or God's gracious eternal arrangements (see on :-). in thy sight—This is just a sublime echo of the foregoing words; as if Jesus, when He uttered them, had paused to reflect on it, and as if the glory of it—not so much in the light of its own reasonableness as of God's absolute will that so it should be—had filled His soul. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:27

27. All things are delivered unto me of my Father—He does not say, They are revealed—as to one who knew them not, and was an entire stranger to them save as they were discovered to Him—but, They are "delivered over," or "committed," to Me of My Father; meaning the whole administration of the kingdom of grace. So in :-, "The Father loveth the Son, and hath given all things into His hand" (see on :-). But though the "all things" in both these passages refer properly to the kingdom of grace,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:28

28. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest—Incomparable, ravishing sounds these—if ever such were heard in this weary, groaning world! What gentleness, what sweetness is there in the very style of the invitation—"Hither to Me"; and in the words, "All ye that toil and are burdened," the universal wretchedness of man is depicted, on both its sides—the active and the passive forms of it. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 11:29

29. Take my yoke upon you—the yoke of subjection to Jesus. and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls—As Christ's willingness to empty Himself to the uttermost of His Father's requirements was the spring of ineffable repose to His own Spirit, so in the same track does He invite all to follow Him, with the assurance of the same experience. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 11:2-30

A. Evidences of Israel’s rejection of Jesus 11:2-30Matthew presented three evidences of opposition to Jesus that indicated rejection of Him: John the Baptist’s questions about the King’s identity, the Jews’ indifference to the King’s message, and their refusal to respond to the King’s invitation. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 11:2-53

IV. THE OPPOSITION TO THE KING 11:2-13:53Chapters 11-13 record Israel’s rejection of her Messiah and its consequences. Opposition continued to build, but Jesus announced new revelation in view of hardened unbelief."The Evangelist has carefully presented the credentials of the king in relationship to His birth, His baptism, His temptation, His righteous doctrine, and His supernatural power. Israel has heard the message of the nearness of the kingdom from John the Baptist, the King Himself, and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 11:25-26

Matthew’s connective "at that time" is loosely historical and tightly thematic. [Note: Carson, "Matthew," p. 274.] Jesus’ titles for God are appropriate in view of His prayer. "Father" focuses on Jesus’ sonship and prepares for Matthew 11:27 whereas "Lord of heaven and earth" stresses God’s sovereignty and prepares for Matthew 11:25-26. "These things" refer to the significance of Jesus’ miracles, the imminence of the messianic kingdom, and the implications of Jesus’ teaching."As elaborated in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 11:25-30

3. The King’s invitation to the repentant 11:25-30This invitation is a sign of Israel’s rejection of her King since with it Jesus invited those who had believed in Him to separate from unbelieving Israel and to follow Him. In Matthew 11:20-24 Jesus addressed the condemned, but in Matthew 11:25-30 He spoke to the accepted. This section is a Christological high point in the Gospel. read more
