Matthew 20:30-34

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 20:34

REFLECTIONS Who can read in this Chapter, the striking Parable of the householder hiring laborers into his Vineyard, and not feel conviction at the free, sovereign, purposing, appointing, carrying on, and completing grace of God? Is not the Vineyard of the Lord of hosts, his Church: and every plant in it of the Lord's right hand planting? What! if Jesus sends his under servants his ministers to labor in his service; or calls his people to sit down under his shadow, do either lessen the right... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 20:30

Two blind men. St. Mark, (x. 46.) when he seems to relate the same passage, mentions but one, called Bartimeus; perhaps because he was the more famous of the two. (Witham) --- These were very opportunely presented to our Lord, that they might go up to Jerusalem with him, after they had received sight from his divine hands, and appear there as witnesses of the divinity of his mission. (St. John Chrysostom, hom. lxvi, in Matt.) --- We may here consider, if the blindness of the body be looked... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 20:29-34

29-34 It is good for those under the same trial, or infirmity of body or mind, to join in prayer to God for relief, that they may quicken and encourage one another. There is mercy enough in Christ for all that ask. They were earnest in prayer. They cried out as men in earnest. Cold desires beg denials. They were humble in prayer, casting themselves upon, and referring themselves cheerfully to, the Mediator's mercy. They showed faith in prayer, by the title they gave to Christ. Surely it was by... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 20:1-99

Matthew 20 THIS CHAPTER OPENS with the parable of the householder and his labourers, which in verse Mat_20:16 brings us back with fresh conviction to just that point. The parable also has direct reference to Peter’s question, which asked for a definite promise of reward, since it contrasts the difference of treatment meted out by the householder between those who served him as the result of a bargain, and those who did so without any bargain, but with simple trust that he would give them... read more

Healing of Two Blind Men. Matthew 20:29-Nahum : The cry: v. 29. And as they departed from Jericho, a great multitude followed Him. v. 30. And, behold, two blind men sitting by the wayside, when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Thou Son of David. v. 31. And the multitude rebuked them, because they should hold their peace; but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, Thou Son of David. Jesus did not go to Jerusalem by the direct... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 20:32-34

The healing: v. 32. And Jesus stood still, and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you? v. 33. They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be opened. v. 34. So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes; and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed Him. The fact that Jesus took an interest in the blind men at once changed the attitude of the multitude, and many now offered assistance. The cry of faith touched the Lord's heart, their... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 20:29-34

the Great Healer and the Lowly King Matthew 20:29-34 ; Matthew 21:1-7 The Lord is always saying: What will ye that I shall do? Let us not ask small things. We honor Him by making great demands. Our greatest requests come far short of His generosity and resources. It seems as though we are always giving Him pain by the meagerness of our expectation. Whatever people say, cry out so much the more! But remember it is not the outcry, but your need and your faith which will arrest His steps. Our... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 20:1-34

One great principle of rewards is laid down in this parable. It is that they will be given, not according to length or amount of service, but according to fidelity to opportunities. The Master was now taking the last journey to Jerusalem, fully conscious of its deep significance in His mission. Beyond the Cross He saw the glory of the new life. He called His disciples to Him, and told them of His coming death and resurrection. Here as in every case during the last sad days His account of His... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 20:1-34

THE REFORM OF THE IDLER‘Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us.’ Matthew 20 part Matthew 20:6-Judges : This parable is one of the most difficult in the New Testament, because, at first sight, there seems to have been a serious miscarriage of justice. But the householder represents God, and such an imputation is therefore impossible. Two considerations diminish the difficulty. I. Motive of sacrifice.—Our Lord taught that God estimates sacrifice by (... read more
