Bible Commentaries

Matthew 12:9-14 — Una cura sabática ( Marco 3:1-6 ; Lucas 6:6-11 ): no necesariamente ocurre inmediatamente después. Mateo y Lucas siguen el orden de Marcos, que es tópico, no histórico; otro caso de colisión en cuanto a la observancia del sábado.

Matthew 27:3-10 — Matthew 27:3-10 . The despair of Judas . Peculiar to Matthew; interesting to the evangelist as a testimony even from the false disciple to the innocence of Jesus, and the wickedness of His enemies, and as a curious instance of prophecy fulfilled.

Luke 11:3 — Luke 11:3 . τὸ καθʼ ἡμέραν , daily, for Mt.’s σήμερον , this day, is an alteration corresponding to the καθʼ ἡμέραν in the Logion concerning cross-bearing (Luke 9:23 ). δίδου , for δὸς , is a change necessitated by the other.

Luke 3:10 — Luke 3:10 . ἐπηρώτων , imperfect. Such questions would be frequent, naturally suggested by the general exhortations to repentance. The preacher would probably give special illustrative counsels without being asked. Those here reported are meant to be characteristic. ποιήσωμεν : subj. delib.

Luke 3:19 — Ἡρώδης: el tetrarca mencionado en Lucas 3:1 . περὶ πάντων, lo que implica que la reprensión de Juan no se limitó al pecado con Herodías. Probablemente no, pero fue lo que dijo John al respecto lo que le costó la cabeza.

John 20:3 — John 20:3 . At once the two men ἐξῆλθεν … καὶ ἤρχοντο , singular and plural as frequently, aorist and imperfect, the one referring to the passing beyond the city wall, the other to the whole course from the house to the tomb.

John 4:43 — John 4:43 . Μετὰ δὲ τὰς δύο ἡμέρας . “And after the two days,” see John 4:40 . ἐξῆλθεν ἐκεῖθεν , “He departed thence,” i.e. , from Sychar. εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν , “into Galilee,” carrying out the intention which had brought Him to Sychar, John 4:3 .

John 9:32 — John 9:32 . ἐκ τοῦ αἰῶνος , rather “from of old” than “since the world began”. Cf. Luke 1:70 , τῶν ἀπʼ αἰῶνος προφητῶν , and Acts 3:21 ; Acts 15:18 . To this there is no reply but abuse and dismissal.

Acts 8:34 — Acts 8:34 . ἀποκ ., see above Acts 3:12 , Acts 5:8 . It has been sometimes supposed that the eunuch was acquainted with the tradition that Isaiah had been sawn asunder by Manasseh Felten, see Wetstein on Hebrews 11:37 .

2 Corinthians 8:3 — 2 Corinthians 8:3 . ὅτι κατὰ δύναμιν κ . τ . λ .: for according to their power, I bear witness, yea and beyond their power . Field quotes a good parallel from Josephus, Antt. , iii., 6. 1, who has κατὰ δύναμιν … παρὰ δύναμιν as here.

Galatians 3:15-18 — Galatians 3:15-18 . GOD’S WORD WAS PLIGHTED TO ABRAHAM THAT HE WOULD BESTOW THE INHERITANCE ON HIS SEED (NOT ON ALL HIS DESCENDANTS, BUT ON ONE PARTICULAR SEED), AND COULD NOT THEREFORE BE SET ASIDE BY SUBSEQUENT STIPULATIONS IN THE LAW.

Ephesians 3:14-19 — Ephesians 3:14-19 . A paragraph containing an earnest prayer for the inward strengthening of the readers, the presence of Christ in them, their enlargement in the knowledge of the love of Christ, and the realisation in them of the Divine perfections.

Colossians 3:17 — Colossians 3:17 . πᾶν … ἐργῷ : a nominative absolute. πάντα is governed by ποιεῖτε (not ποιοῦντες , as Sod.), supplied from ποιῆτε . εὐχαριστοῦντες . This is not something additional to actions done in the name of Christ; but these actions are themselves expressions of thankfulness.

2 Thessalonians 1:1-8 — 2 Thessalonians 1:1-8 . The address (2 Thessalonians 1:1-2 ) is followed first by a thanksgiving (2 Thessalonians 1:3-10 ) which passes into a prophetic piece of consolation, and then by a brief prayer (2 Thessalonians 1:11-12 ).

James 3:6 — Consulte la nota crítica anterior para ver las diferencias sugeridas en la puntuación. καὶ ἡ γλῶσσα πῦρ: esta metáfora era familiar para los judíos, ver Proverbios 16:27 , … Y en sus labios hay como un fuego abrasador ; El total del pasaje Sir 28: 8-3 es muy à propuesta , especialmente Santiago 3:11 , ἔρις κατασπευδομένη ἐκαίει πῦρ, καὶ μάχη κατασπεύδουσα ἐκχέει αἶμα. Saber se refiere a los Salmos de Sol. 12:2 4, donde se presenta gráficamente la misma metáfora, pero la referencia es a la calumnia,

1 Peter 2:10 — 1 Peter 2:10 , from Hosea 1:6 ; Hosea 2:1 (3); cf. Romans 9:25 (has καλέσω κάλεσον of Hos.); the terms are so familiar that μου is omitted by Peter as unnecessary ( cf. γένος ἐκ . for τὸ γ . μου ἐ .).

1 Peter 2:10 — 1 Pedro 2:10 , de Oseas 1:6 ; Oseas 2:1 (3); cf. Romanos 9:25 (tiene καλέσω κάλεσον de Hos.); los términos son tan familiares que Peter omite μου por innecesario ( cf. γένος ἐκ. para τὸ γ. μου ἐ.).

1 John 4:13 — 1 John 4:13 . Cf. 1 John 3:24 . The argument is that God would not have granted us this priceless gift if he were not in intimate relation with us and had not a steadfast purpose of grace toward us.

Revelation 5:2 — Revelation 5:2 . The καὶ after ἀνοῖξαι is either epexegetic or the mark of a hysteron proteron ( cf. the awkward οὔτε βλέπειν of 3 4, unless look here means to look into the contents). The cry is a challenge rather than an appeal.

Revelation 5:2 — El καὶ después de ἀνοῖξαι es epexegético o la marca de un hysteron proteron ( cf. el incómodo οὔτε βλέπειν de 3 4, a menos que mirar aquí signifique mirar el contenido). El grito es un desafío más que un llamado.
