Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver--Never, remarks BENGEL, will you find the heads of the people calling Jesus by His own name. And yet here there is betrayed a certain uneasiness, which one almost fancies they only tried to stifle in their own minds, as well as crush in Pilate's, in case he should have any lurking suspicion that he had done wrong in yielding to them.
said, while he was yet alive--Important testimony this, from the lips of His bitterest enemies, to the reality of Christ's death; the corner-stone of the whole Christian religion.
After three days--which, according to the customary Jewish way of reckoning, need signify no more than "after the commencement of the third day."
I will rise again--"I rise," in the present tense, thus reporting not only the fact that this prediction of His had reached their ears, but that they understood Him to look forward confidently to its occurring on the very day named. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
We remember - They had either heard him say this, or, more probably, had understood that this was one of his doctrines.
That deceiver - One of the charges against him was that he deceived the people, Joh 7:12. By this title they still chose to designate him, thinking that his death had fully confirmed the truth of the charges against him. |
| The Scofield Bible Commentary, by Cyrus Ingerson Scofield, [1917] |
After three days
See (Mat 16:21); (Mat 17:23); (Mat 20:19); (Mat 26:61); (Mar 8:31); (Mar 10:34); (Luk 9:22); (Luk 18:33); (Luk 24:6); (Luk 24:7); (Joh 2:19). |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
We remember (ἐμνήσθημεν)
Lit., we remembered: i.e., it occurred to us: we have just remembered, and have come to tell you before it shall be too late.
That deceiver (ἐκεῖνος ὁ πλάνος)
The pronoun that is very picturesque; being used of distant objects, and therefore here as pointing to one who is out of the way and far removed. Πλάνος, deceiver, is akin to πλανάω, to wander; and hence a vagabond impostor. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| That impostor said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again - We do not find that he had ever said this to them, unless when he spoke of the temple of his body, Joh 2:19, Joh 2:21. And if they here refer to what he then said, how perverse and iniquitous was their construction on these words, when he was on his trial before the council? Mat 26:61. Then they seemed not to understand them! |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Sir, we remember, etc. - While these wicked men are fulfilling their own vicious counsels, they are subserving the great cause of Christianity. Every thing depended on the resurrection of Christ; if it did not appear that he rose from the dead, then the whole system was false, and no atonement was made. It was necessary therefore that the chief priests, etc., should make use of every precaution to prevent an imposture, that the resurrection of Christ might have the fullest evidence to support it. See on Mat 27:60 (note).
The word Κυριε is here very properly translated sir, which, in many other places, is as improperly translated Lord. When a Roman is the speaker, or the person addressed, Κυριε should always be translated sir; when strangers address our Lord, the word is a title of civil respect, and should, in general, be translated in the same way.
After three days I will rise again - This they probably took from his saying, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will build it up. If so, they destroyed, by their own words, the false accusation they brought against him to put him to death; then they perverted the meaning, now they declare it. Thus the wise are taken in their own craftiness. Neither the devil nor his servants ever speak truth, but when they expect to accomplish some bad purpose by it. |
12 And [2532] there was [2258] much [4183] murmuring [1112] among [1722] the people [3793] concerning [4012] him [846]: for some [3303] said [3004], [3754] He is [2076] a good man [18]: others [1161] [243] said [3004], Nay [3756]; but [235] he deceiveth [4105] the people [3793].
19 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Destroy [3089] this [5126] temple [3485], and [2532] in [1722] three [5140] days [2250] I will raise [1453] it [846] up [1453].
7 Saying [3004], [3754] The Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] be delivered [3860] into [1519] the hands [5495] of sinful [268] men [444], and [2532] be crucified [4717], and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] rise again [450].
6 He is [2076] not [3756] here [5602], but [235] is risen [1453]: remember [3415] how [5613] he spake [2980] unto you [5213] when he was [5607] yet [2089] in [1722] Galilee [1056],
33 And [2532] they shall scourge [3146] him, and put [615] him [846] to death [615]: and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall rise again [450].
22 Saying [2036], [3754] The Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] suffer [3958] many things [4183], and [2532] be rejected [593] of [575] the elders [4245] and [2532] chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be slain [615], and [2532] be raised [1453] the third [5154] day [2250].
34 And [2532] they shall mock [1702] him [846], and [2532] shall scourge [3146] him [846], and [2532] shall spit upon [1716] him [846], and [2532] shall kill [615] him [846]: and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall rise again [450].
31 And [2532] he began [756] to teach [1321] them [846], that [3754] the Son [5207] of man [444] must [1163] suffer [3958] many things [4183], and [2532] be rejected [593] of [575] the elders [4245], and [2532] of the chief priests [749], and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be killed [615], and [2532] after [3326] three [5140] days [2250] rise again [450].
61 And said [2036], This [3778] fellow said [5346], I am able [1410] to destroy [2647] the temple [3485] of God [2316], and [2532] to build [3618] it [846] in [1223] three [5140] days [2250].
19 And [2532] shall deliver [3860] him [846] to the Gentiles [1484] to [1519] mock [1702], and [2532] to scourge [3146], and [2532] to crucify [4717] him: and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall rise again [450].
23 And [2532] they shall kill [615] him [846], and [2532] the third [5154] day [2250] he shall be raised again [1453]. And [2532] they were exceeding [4970] sorry [3076].
21 From [575] that time forth [5119] began [756] Jesus [2424] to shew [1166] unto his [846] disciples [3101], how that [3754] he [846] must [1163] go [565] unto [1519] Jerusalem [2414], and [2532] suffer [3958] many things [4183] of [575] the elders [4245] and [2532] chief priests [749] and [2532] scribes [1122], and [2532] be killed [615], and [2532] be raised again [1453] the third [5154] day [2250].
61 And said [2036], This [3778] fellow said [5346], I am able [1410] to destroy [2647] the temple [3485] of God [2316], and [2532] to build [3618] it [846] in [1223] three [5140] days [2250].
21 But [1161] he [1565] spake [3004] of [4012] the temple [3485] of his [846] body [4983].
19 Jesus [2424] answered [611] and [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Destroy [3089] this [5126] temple [3485], and [2532] in [1722] three [5140] days [2250] I will raise [1453] it [846] up [1453].
60 And [2532] laid [5087] it [846] in [1722] his own [846] new [2537] tomb [3419], which [3739] he had hewn out [2998] in [1722] the rock [4073]: and [2532] he rolled [4351] a great [3173] stone [3037] to the door [2374] of the sepulchre [3419], and departed [565].
