Matthew 19:19

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 19:16-30

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 19:16. Good Master.—The better MSS. omit the adjective, and it has probably been added here by later copyists to bring the passage into a verbal agreement with the narrative of St. Mark and St. Luke. From the prominence given to it in the form of our Lord’s answer, as reported by them, we may reasonably believe that it was actually uttered by the questioner (Plumptre).Matthew 19:17. Why callest thou me good?—Here again the older MSS. give a different form to our Lord’s... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 19:16-22

Matthew 19:16-22 I. Consider that a single mote may hinder a man from becoming a true Christian. It is the things which are apparently the smallest that prevent the greatest results. A slight defect in the finest bell and it ceases to sound, a lost key and the richest money-chest is useless. The day of battle has arrived, the troops are admirably disposed, the despatches of the general fly here and there; suddenly the horse of the adjutant stumbles on a stone; he arrives a quarter of an hour... read more

Love Thy Neighbour August 9th, 1857 by C. H. SPURGEON (1834-1892) "Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself" Matthew 19:19 . Our Savior very often preached upon the moral precepts of the law. Many of the sermons of Christ and what sermons shall compare with them have not what is now currently called "the gospel" in them at all. Our Saviour did not every time he stood up to preach, declare the doctrine of election, or of atonement, or of effectual calling, or of final perseverance. No, he... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 19:1-30

Chapter 19Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished these sayings, he departed from Galilee, and he came to the coast of Judea ( Matthew 19:1 );Now that is the border of Judea, so He is moving south towards Jerusalem, for Jerusalem lies in the area of Judea, which is in the southern kingdom. So He has left the area of Naphtali and Psycar in the north, and has come down now to the area of Judea, there beyond Jordan.And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there. Then the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 19:1-30

Matthew 19:3 . The pharisees also came tempting him. These men professed perfection of morality, and of worship; and their object was to tempt our Lord to sin, by giving his sanction to a law of custom, revolting to all the feelings of humanity, and admitting that a man might divorce his wife for any corporeal infirmity, or defect in temper or conduct. Our Saviour confounded their ingenious malice by the non-admission of any just cause of divorce, except that of adultery, and adultery... read more

Matthew 13:4; Matthew 19:1-30Some seeds fell by the wayside, and the fowls came and devoured them up.-Way seed devoured by birdsThe birds devour the truth we neglect to cover. Let us study these birds:-1. The first belongs to the heron species, having long legs, a long bill, broad strong wings, and an eye keen as an eagle’s, yet filmy at times, which causes serious mistakes. This is the bird of intellectual scepticism. It delays your acceptance of the truth with all kinds of questions.2. There... read more

Matthew 19:16-22And, behold, one came and said unto Him, Good Master, what good thing shall I do? Formal obedience insufficientIt is certainly the doctrine of Scripture that moral integrity alone can never benefit us with God; that even the offering of our prayers is accounted worthless except as it is perfumed with love. Evidently, then, his confidence is false and dangerous indeed who, because he keeps unbroken the great laws of social morality, imagines his claim to mercy and salvation... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 19:19

19 Honour thy father and thy mother: and, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. Ver. 19. Thou shall love thy neighbour, &c. ] Which because thou doest not (as appears, because thou wilt not part with thy possessions to relieve the poor), therefore much less doest thou love God, and therefore art not the man thou takest thyself for. Civil men overween a themselves, and boast of their moral righteousness; yet make no conscience of the lesser breaches of the second table, nor yet of... read more
