Mateus 17:23-27 NVIPT

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 17:22-23

Christ here foretels his own sufferings; he began to do it before (Matt. 16:21); and, finding that it was to his disciples a hard saying, he saw it necessary to repeat it. There are some things which God speaketh once, yea twice, and yet man perceiveth it not. Observe here, 1. What he foretold concerning himself?that he should be betrayed and killed. He perfectly knew, before, all things that should come to him, and yet undertook the work of our redemption, which greatly commends his love;... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 17:24-27

We have here an account of Christ's paying tribute. I. Observe how it was demanded, Matt. 17:24. Christ was now at Capernaum, his headquarters, where he mostly resided; he did not keep from thence, to decline being called upon for his dues, but rather came thither, to be ready to pay them. 1. The tribute demanded was not any civil payment to the Roman powers, that was strictly exacted by the publicans, but the church-duties, the half shekel, about fifteen pence, which were required from every... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 17:24-27

17:24-27 When they came to Capernaum, those who received the half-shekel Temple tax came to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the tax?" Peter said, "He does pay it." When he had gone into the house, before he could speak, Jesus said to him, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do earthly kings take tax and tribute? From their sons or from strangers?" When he said, "From strangers," Jesus said to him, "So then the sons are free. But, so as not to set a stumbling-block in anyone's... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 17:24-27

Now we come to the story itself If we take it with a bald and crude literalism, it means that Jesus told Peter to go and catch a fish, and that he would find a stater in the fish's mouth which would be sufficient to pay the tax for both of them. It is not irrelevant to note that the gospel never tells us that Peter did so. The story ends with Jesus' saying. Before we begin to examine the story we must remember that all oriental people love to say a thing in the most dramatic and vivid way... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:23

And they shall kill him ,.... Put him to death, with the death of the cross; for the angels in rehearsing these words, affirm, that Christ told his disciples at this time, and in this place, whilst they were in Galilee, that he should be crucified, Luke 24:7 . And the third day he shall be raised again : this he said for their comfort; and it is observable, that when Christ speaks of his rising again, he makes mention of the exact time, the third day, on which he should rise, according... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:24

And when they were come to Capernaum ,.... Called Christ's own city, Matthew 9:1 where he dwelt some time Matthew 4:13 and Peter had an house, Matthew 8:14 "they that received tribute money", or the "didrachms"; in Talmudic language, it would be גובין השקלים F9 Maimon. Hilch. Shekalim, c. 2. sect. 4. , "they that collect the shekels": for not the publicans, or Roman tax gatherers are meant; nor is this to be understood of any such tribute: there was a tribute that was paid to... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:25

He saith, yes ,.... Without any hesitation, knowing it had been his master's practice; and therefore as he had done it, did not doubt but he would again: and when he was come into the house ; that is, Peter, as both the Syriac and Persic versions express; when he was come into his own house, or at least into that where Christ was, in order to talk with him about this affair, the collectors had been speaking of to him, who seems to have been alone when they met with him; however, Christ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:26

Peter saith unto him ,.... The Vulgate Latin reads, "and he said": and so the Ethiopic, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel; but without doubt Peter is meant, and rightly expressed; whose answer to Christ's question is, of strangers : meaning not foreigners, or such who formerly belonged to other nations, but were now taken captive, and brought into subjection; but their own native subjects, so called, in distinction from their domestics, their children, and those of their own family: Jesus... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 17:27

Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them ,.... Though Christ could have maintained his right of exemption from payment, by such strong and clear reasons and arguments; yet he chose to forego it, lest any should be offended with him, and look upon him as a transgressor of the law; one that had no regard to the temple, and slighted the worship and service of it, and so be prejudiced against him, and his doctrines: which, by the way, may teach us to be careful to give no offence, to Jew or... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 17:23

They were exceeding sorry - Since the conversation on the mount, with Moses and Elijah; Peter, James, and John could have no doubt that their Lord and Master must suffer, and that it was for this end he came into the world; but, while they submitted to the counsel of God, their affection for him caused them to feel exquisite distress. read more
