Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 27:27-34

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 27:27. The common hall.—Literally, the Prætorium, a word which, applied originally to the tent of the prætor, or general, and so to the headquarters of the camp, had come to be used with a somewhat wide range of meaning, (1) for the residence of a prince or governor; or (2) for the barracks attached to such a residence (as in Philippians 1:13); or (3) for any house as stately. Hero (as in Acts 23:35) it appears to be used in the first sense. Pilate’s dialogue with the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:24-31

Matthew 27:24-31 Behold the Man. I. Behold the Man, and see who He is. We see that He is a real and actual man. Men had been on the outlook for that Son of God who should come down in the likeness of man. Perhaps no one expected that the Coming One would prove to be a real man; perhaps even the Jews, to whom pertained the oracles of God, rejected that idea as incongruous and mean, and thought that no hint could be found that Jehovah would ever dwell among them in the nature of such humanity as... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:26-51

Matthew 27:26-51 (with Mark 15:15-37 ) Christ on the Cross. Christ on the Cross is our subject. You know His history, And when you read, "The people stood beholding" you will be ready to add, "And no wonder." Here, before their eyes, was the tragic consummation of a life that was begotten by the Holy Ghost, born of a virgin, and signalized at its birth by the homage of both heaven and earth. I. His nature was singularly complete. No one of the constitutional temperaments usually distinctive... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:29

Matthew 27:29 Jesus and Tiberius. I. Consider the equity of mankind, which was at the same moment awarding to Jesus derision, torture, death, and to Tiberius the most servile and adulatory homage. The equity of mankind, did I say? May we with reverence ascend higher than mankind, and without impeaching the righteousness of the Supreme, ask why His lightnings were not despatched to calcine that Roman despot, and why legions of angels did not descend upon the Prætorium of Pontius to rescue Jesus... read more

DISCOURSE: 1409THE INDIGNITIES OFFERED TO OUR LORDMatthew 27:26-31. Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified. Then the soldiers of the Governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers. And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him,... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 27:1-66

This time shall we turn in our Bibles to Matthew's gospel chapter twenty-seven? In the twenty-sixth chapter we left Jesus before the high priest, the Sanhedrin, and Peter had just outside of this group denied his Lord. And at this moment he is out somewhere weeping bitterly over his failure.Now when the morning was come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took council against Jesus to put him to death: and when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 27:29-31

Matthew 27:29-31And when they had platted a crown of thorns.Mocked of the soldiersThe shameful spectacle! What element of scorn is lacking? Roman soldiers mocking a supposed rival of Caesar are sure to go to the utmost lengths in their derision. The spectacle is as cruel as it is derisive. Thorns and rough blows accentuate mockeries and scoffs. Roman legionaries were the brutalized instruments of a race noted for its ignorance of all tenderness; they wrought cruelties with a singular zest,... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 27:28

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe. Ver. 28. And they stripped him ] That we might be clothed with the rich and royal raiment of his righteousness, that fleece of the Lamb of God, who taketh away, &c. And put on him a scarlet robe ] O’erworn and threadbare, no doubt; so to set him forth as a theatrical king, in contempt of him; but the kingdom of Christ came not by observation. He is an obscure king, as Melchisedec was, but yet a king, as he told Pilate; and this was... read more

29 And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews! Ver. 29. And when they had platted a crown, &c. ] Christ, by wearing this crown of thorns, the firstfruits of the curse, took away the sin and curse of all his people; who must therefore, by their obedience, set a crown of gold on his head,Song of Solomon 3:11; Song of Solomon 3:11 , as Canutus in his... read more
