Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

3:14-17 Those who would learn the things of God, and be assured of them, must know the Holy Scriptures, for they are the Divine revelation. The age of children is the age to learn; and those who would get true learning, must get it out of the Scriptures. They must not lie by us neglected, seldom or never looked into. The Bible is a sure guide to eternal life. The prophets and apostles did not speak from themselves, but delivered what they received of God, 2Pe 1:21. It is profitable for all purposes of the Christian life. It is of use to all, for all need to be taught, corrected, and reproved. There is something in the Scriptures suitable for every case. Oh that we may love our Bibles more, and keep closer to them! then shall we find benefit, and at last gain the happiness therein promised by faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the main subject of both Testaments. We best oppose error by promoting a solid knowledge of the word of truth; and the greatest kindness we can do to children, is to make them early to know the Bible.

John 6:58

[58]This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.

John 6:51

[51]I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

John 6:31-32,35,37-38

[31]Our fathers did eat manna in the desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from heaven to eat.

[32]Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread from heaven.

[35]And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.

[37]All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.

[38]For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.

Joshua 24:14

put: From this exhortation of Joshua, we not only learn that the Israelites still retained some relics of idolatry, but to what gods they were attached.

1. Those whom their fathers worshipped on the other side of the food, or the river Euphrates, i.e., the gods of the Chaldeans, fire, light, the sun, etc.

2. Those of the Egyptians, Apis, Anubis, serpents, vegetables, etc.

3. Those of the Amorites, Moabites, Canaanites, etc., Baal-peor, Astarte, etc. 

How astonishing is it, that after all that God had done for them, and all the miracles they had seen, there should still be found among them both idols and idolaters! Jos_24:2, Jos_24:23, Gen_35:2, Exo_20:3, Exo_20:4, Lev_17:7, Ezr_9:11, Eze_20:18, Amo_5:25, Amo_5:26

John 14:27

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you — If Joh_14:25, Joh_14:26 sounded like a note of preparation for drawing the discourse to a close, this would sound like a farewell. But oh, how different from ordinary adieus! It is a parting word, but of richest import, the customary “peace” of a parting friend sublimed and transfigured. As “the Prince of Peace” (Isa_9:6) He brought it into flesh, carried it about in His Own Person (“My peace”) died to make it ours, left it as the heritage of His disciples upon earth, implants and maintains it by His Spirit in their hearts. Many a legacy is “left” that is never “given” to the legatee, many a gift destined that never reaches its proper object. But Christ is the Executor of His own Testament; the peace He “leaves” He “gives”; Thus all is secure.

not as the world giveth — in contrast with the world, He gives sincerely, substantially, eternally.

Peace I leave: Joh_16:33, Joh_20:19, Joh_20:21, Joh_20:26, Num_6:26, Psa_29:11, Psa_72:2, Psa_72:7, Psa_85:10, Isa_9:6, Isa_32:15-17, Isa_54:7-10, Isa_54:13, Isa_55:12, Isa_57:19, Zec_6:13, Luk_1:79, Luk_2:14, Luk_10:5, Act_10:36, Rom_1:7, Rom_5:1, Rom_5:10, Rom_8:6, Rom_15:13, 1Co_1:3, 2Co_5:18-21, Gal_1:3, Gal_5:22, Gal_6:16, Eph_2:14-17, Phi_4:7, Col_1:2, Col_1:20, Col_3:15, 2Th_1:2, 2Th_3:16, Heb_7:2, Heb_13:20, Rev_1:4

Nehemiah 8:3

And he read therein,.... Some passages in it, here and there, which it was necessary the people should have knowledge of; for it can hardly be thought be began and read on just in the order in which it was: this he did 

before the street; at the top of it, at one end of it: 

that was before the water gate; which looked directly to that: 

from the morning until midday; from the rising of the sun to noon, so that he must read six hours; but very probably was relieved at times by the men with him, after mentioned: 

before the men and the women, and those that could understand; see Neh_8:2, 

and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law; to the hearing of it read, and to the things contained in it; hence Maimonides (h) gathers, that as soon as the reader begins the reading of the law, it is not lawful to speak about anything, not even the constitutions of the law, but silently to attend to what is read. 

Nehemiah 8:8

So they read in the book,.... Ezra and those with him; he first began to read and expound, and when weary they relieved him, and did the same: 

in the law of God distinctly; which was the book they read in, and which they read plainly and intelligibly, so as to be heard and understood; this seems to respect the clear and distinct pronunciation of the words of it, and not the explanation or meaning of it, which is after expressed; some think the sense is, that they first read it in Hebrew, and then translated it into Chaldee, that the people might better understand it, being just come out of Babylon, where they had been used to the Chaldee language; but though this was a practice in later times, it does not seem to have obtained so early, or that there was a necessity of it:

Jeremiah 3:15

[15]And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

John 21:15-17

[15]So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs.

[16]He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

[17]He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

1 Peter 5:2

[2]Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
