Matthew 17:22,23 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

"And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men: (23) And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry."

I cannot allow those verses to pass without calling upon the Reader to remark, with me, how much the Lord Jesus seemed to delight in the prospect of his great accomplishment of redemption. Every feature in his character marks this. In proof, see Matthew 16:22-23; Luke 12:50; Luke 12:50; John 13:27; John 13:27.
