14 He heals the lunatic,
22 foretells his own passion,
24 and pays tribute.

after. Luke, taking in both the day of the preceding discourse and that of the transfiguration, as well as the six intermediate ones, says it was eight days after.

4 Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

answered. Mr 9:5,6 Lu 9:33

it is. Ex 33:18,19 Ps 4:6 16:11 63:1-5 Isa 33:17 Zec 9:17 Joh 14:8,9 Joh 17:24 Php 1:23 1Jo 3:2 Re 21:23 22:3-5

5 While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

behold. Ex 40:34,35 1Ki 8:10-12 Ps 18:10,11 Lu 9:34 Ac 1:9 Re 1:7

hear. De 18:15,19 Ac 3:22,23 7:37 Heb 1:1,2 2:1-3 5:9 12:25,26

6 And when the disciples heard it, they fell on their face, and were sore afraid.

Le 9:24 Jud 13:20,22 1Ch 21:16 Eze 3:23 43:3 Da 8:17 10:7-9 Da 10:16,17 Ac 22:7 26:14 2Pe 1:18

7 And Jesus came and touched them, and said, Arise, and be not afraid.

touched. Da 8:18 9:21 10:10,18 Re 1:17

Arise. Lu 24:5 Ac 9:6

8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.

they saw. Mr 9:8 Lu 9:36 Ac 12:10,11

9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.

Jesus. 16:20 Mr 8:30 9:9,10 Lu 8:56 9:21,22

until. 23 16:21 Lu 18:33,34 24:46,47

10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?

Why. 3,4 11:14 27:47-49 Mal 4:5,6 Mr 9:11 Joh 1:21,25

11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.

and restore. Mal 4:6 Lu 1:16,17 3:3-14 Ac 3:21

12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.

and they. 11:9-15 21:23-25,32 Mr 9:12,13 11:30-32 Lu 7:33 Joh 1:11 Joh 5:32-36 Ac 13:24-28

but. 11:2 14:3-10 Mr 6:14-28 Lu 3:19,20 Ac 7:52

Likewise. 16:21 Isa 53:3 *etc: Lu 9:21-25 Ac 2:23 3:14,15 4:10

13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.

the disciples. 11:14

14 And when they were come to the multitude, there came to him a certain man, kneeling down to him, and saying,

when. Mr 9:14 *etc: Lu 9:37 *etc:

kneeling. Mr 1:40 10:17 Ac 10:25,26

15 Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for ofttimes he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water.

have. 15:22 Mr 5:22,23 9:22 Lu 9:38-42 Joh 4:46,47

for. 4:24 Mr 9:17,18,20-22

he is. [Seleniazomai,] from [selene,] the moon, one who was affected with his disorder at the change and full of the moon. This is the case in some kinds of madness and epilepsy. This youth was no doubt epileptic; but it was evidently either produced or taken advantage of by a demon or evil spirit.

for ofttimes. 8:31,32 Job 1:10-19 2:7 Mr 5:4,5

16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him.

and they. 19,20 2Ki 4:29-31 Lu 9:40 Ac 3:16 19:15,16

17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me.

O faithless. 6:30 8:26 13:58 16:8 Mr 9:19 16:14 Lu 9:41 24:25 Joh 20:27 Heb 3:16-19

how long shall I be. Ex 10:3 16:28 Nu 14:11,27 Ps 95:10 Pr 1:22 6:9 Jer 4:14 Ac 13:18

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour.

rebuked. 12:22 Mr 1:34 5:8 9:25-27 Lu 4:35,36,41 8:29 9:42 Ac 16:18 19:13-15

from. 9:22 15:28 Joh 4:52,53

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out?

Mr 4:10 9:28

20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

Because. 17 14:30,31 Heb 3:19

If. 21:21 Mr 11:23 Lu 17:6 1Co 12:9 13:2

faith. That is, as Bp. Pearce well remarks, a thriving and increasing faith, like a grain of mustard seed, which, from being the least of seeds, becomes the greatest of all herbs.

a grain. 13:31 Mr 4:31

nothing. Mr 9:23 Lu 1:37 18:27

21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

this. 12:45

22 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:

The Son. 16:21 20:17,18 Mr 8:31 9:30,31 10:33,34 Lu 9:22,44 Lu 18:31-34 24:6,7,26,46

betrayed. 24:10 26:16,46 Ac 7:52 1Co 11:23

23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

they shall. Ps 22:15,22 *etc: Isa 53:7,10-12 Da 9:26 Zec 13:7

the third. Ps 16:10 Joh 2:19 Ac 2:23-31 1Co 15:3,4

And they were. Joh 16:6,20-22

24 And when they were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute money came to Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?

when. Mr 9:33

tribute. 'Gr. didrachma, in value fifteen pence.'

Ex 30:13 38:26 This tribute seems to have been the half shekel which every male among the Jews paid yearly for the support of the temple, and which was continued by them, wherever dispersed, till after the time of Vespasian.

25 He saith, Yes. And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their own children, or of strangers?

Yes. 3:15 22:21 Ro 13:6,7

of their. 1Sa 17:25

26 Peter saith unto him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.

27 Notwithstanding, lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.

lest. 15:12-14 Ro 14:21 15:1-3 1Co 8:9,13 9:19-22 10:32,33 2Co 6:3 1Th 5:22 Tit 2:7,8

and take. Ge 1:28 1Ki 17:4 Ps 8:8 Jon 1:17 2:10 Heb 2:7,8

a piece of money. 'or, a stater, half an ounce of silver, value 2s. 6d., after 5s. the ounce.'

that take. 2Co 8:9 Jas 2:5
