Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Why are ye troubled? - Why are you alarmed or frightened?
And why do thoughts ... - The word "thoughts" here means "doubts" or suspicions. It is used in this sense also in Ti1 2:8. The doubts which they had were whether he was the Christ. He reproves them for doubting this; for,
1. The Scriptures had foretold his death;
2. He had himself repeatedly done it; and,
3. They had now the testimony of Peter that he had seen Jesus alive, and of the angels that he was risen. After all this evidence, Jesus reproves them for doubting whether he was truly the Messiah. |

Thoughts (διαλογισμοὶ)
See on Jam 2:4, and deceiving, Jam 1:22. Rev., reasonings. As if he had said, "Why do you reason about a matter which your spiritual perception ought to discern at once." Compare note on fools, Luk 24:25. |
8 I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become judges of evil thoughts?
