Bible Commentaries

Ezekiel 34:11 — Yahweh is the shepherd of His people. He will do all which the shepherds should have done and did not. These promises - partially fulfilled in the return from Babylon, and in the subsequent prosperity under the Maccabees - point to the ingathering of all nations in the Church of Christ the Good Shepherd. Compare Matthew 18:11 : John 10:1-18; Romans 9:25-33.

Ezekiel 43:12 — See also Ezekiel 47:12. This is the law of the ordinance of the new sanctuary. After the consecration, God pronounces the “law” which is to govern the ordinances of the sanctuary (compare 1 Kings 8:0), first briefly repeating the general rule that the place must be kept holy to the Lord (compare Revelation 21:27), and then proceeding to specific ordinances commencing with the altar.

Zechariah 3:6 — And the angel of the Lord protested - Solemnly (etymologically, called God to witness) as in, “Did I not make thee swear by the Lord and protested unto thee” 1 Kings 2:42, laying it as an obligation upon him. The charge is given to Joshua, and in him to all successive high priests, while Israel should continue to be God’s people, as the condition of their acceptance.

Matthew 13:34-35 — That it might be fulfilled - This is taken from Psalms 78:2-3. The sense, and not the very words of the Psalm, are given. Christ taught, as did that prophet - Asaph - in parables. The words of Asaph described the manner in which Christ taught, and in this sense it could be said that they were fulfilled. See the notes at Matthew 1:22-23.

Matthew 9:4 — Jesus, knowing their thoughts - Mark says, “Jesus perceived “in his spirit” that they so reasoned.” The power of searching the heart, and of knowing the thoughts of people, belongs only to God, 1 Chronicles 28:9; Romans 8:27; Revelation 2:23; Jeremiah 17:10. In claiming this, as Jesus did here, and often elsewhere, he gave clear proofs of his omniscience, John 2:24-25.

Deuteronomy 33:20 — es decir, Bendito sea Dios que concederá a Gad un territorio espacioso. Compare la bendición de Sem . Con la corona - Más bien, sí, la corona. El carácter guerrero de esta tribu se muestra al liderar la vanguardia en las largas campañas de Josué (comparar Josué 4:12 ; Josué 22:1 ). Compare también 1Cr 5:18-22 ; ff, y los hechos de Jehú el Gadita, en ; .

Mark 7:34 — Looked up to heaven - To lift up the eyes to heaven is an act imploring aid from God, and is an attitude of prayer, Psalms 121:1-2; Mark 6:41; John 11:41.He sighed - Pitying the sufferings of the man who stood before him.Ephphatha - This word is “Syriac,” the language which our Lord used in addressing the man, and means “Be opened.”

John 15:27 — Ustedes también darán testimonio - Serán testigos del mundo para instarles sobre las evidencias de que el Señor Jesús es el Mesías. Han estado conmigo - Habían visto sus obras durante más de tres años y, por lo tanto, estaban calificados para dar testimonio de su carácter y doctrinas. Desde el principio - Desde su entrada en la obra pública del ministerio, Mateo 4:17. Compare Hechos 1:21.

Acts 20:36 — He kneeled down - The usual attitude of prayer. It is the proper posture of a suppliant. It indicates reverence and humility; and is represented in the Scriptures as the usual attitude of devotion, 2 Chronicles 6:13; Daniel 6:10; Luke 22:41; Acts 7:60; Acts 9:40; Acts 21:5; Romans 11:4; Philippians 2:10; Ephesians 3:14; Mark 1:40.

Acts 7:12 — Was corn in Egypt - The word “corn” here rather denotes “wheat.” See the notes on Matthew 12:1.Our fathers - His ten sons; all his sons except Joseph and Benjamin, Genesis 42:0: Stephen here “refers” only to the history, without entering into details. By this general reference he sufficiently showed that he believed what Moses had spoken, and did not intend to show him disrespect.

Galatians 4:13 — Ye know how - To show them the folly of their embracing the new views which they had adopted, he reminds them of past times, and particularly of the strength of the attachment which they had evinced for him in former days.Through infirmity of the flesh - Greek “Weakness” (ἀσθένειαν astheneian); compare the 1 Corinthians 2:3 note; 2 Corinthians 10:10; 2 Corinthians 12:7 notes.

Galatians 4:5 — To redeem them - By his death as an atoning sacrifice; see the note at Galatians 3:13.Them that were under the law - Sinners, who had violated the Law, and who were exposed to its dread penalty.That we might receive the adoption of sons - Be adopted as the sons or the children of God; see John 1:12, note; Romans 8:15, note.

Galatians 5:24 — And they that are Christ’s - All who are true Christians.Have crucified the flesh - The corrupt passions of the soul have been put to death; that is, destroyed. They are as though they were dead, and have no power over us; see the note at Galatians 2:20.With the affections - Margin, “Passions.” All corrupt desires.And lusts - See the note at Romans 1:24.

Galatians 6:6 — Let him that is taught in the word - In the word of God; that is, the gospel.Communicate unto him - Let him share with him who teaches; let there be a common participation of all good things.In all good things - In everything that is needful for their comfortable subsistence. On the duty here enjoined see the notes at 1 Corinthians 9:11-13.

Galatians 6:6 — Permite al que se enseña en la palabra - En la palabra de Dios; es decir, el evangelio. Comunícate con él - Deja que comparta con el que enseña; Que haya una participación común de todas las cosas buenas. En todas las cosas buenas - En todo lo que sea necesario para su cómoda subsistencia. En el deber aquí ordenado ver las notas en 1 Corintios 9:11.

Joshua 15:1 — La herencia de la tribu de Judá se describe primero por sus límites generales en los cuatro lados Josué 15:1 ; luego se vuelve a hacer referencia, en aras de la exhaustividad, a la herencia especial de Caleb que se encontraba dentro de estos límites Josué 15:13 ; y por último se da una lista de los pueblos en Josué 15:21 . Consultar las referencias marginales.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 — Wherefore comfort yourselves - notes, 1 Thessalonians 4:18.And edify one another - Strive to build up each other, or to establish each other in the faith by these truths; notes, Romans 14:19.Even as also ye do - Continue to do it. Let nothing intervene to disturb the harmony and consolation which you have been accustomed to derive from these high and holy doctrines.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 — Por lo tanto, consuélese - notas, 1 Tesalonicenses 4:18. Y edifíquense unos a otros - Esforzarse por edificarse unos a otros, o establecerse en la fe por estas verdades; notas, Romanos 14:19. Incluso como ustedes también lo hacen - Continúe haciéndolo. No dejes que nada interfiera para perturbar la armonía y el consuelo al que estás acostumbrado a derivar de estas altas y santas doctrinas.

2 Peter 1:18 — And this voice which came from heaven we heard - To wit, Peter, and James, and John.When we were with him in the holy mount - Called “holy” on account of the extraordinary manifestation of the Redeemer’s glory there. It is not certainly known what mountain this was, but it has commonly been supposed to be Mount Tabor. See the notes at Matthew 17:1.

1 Samuel 4:15 — Dim - Más bien, "set". La palabra es bastante diferente de la que se representa en 1 Samuel 3:2. La frase parece expresar el estado "fijo" del ojo ciego, que no se ve afectado por la luz. La ceguera de Eli, mientras lo hacía vivo a los sonidos, le impedía ver las prendas rotas y la cabeza del mensajero de malas noticias salpicadas de polvo.
