Matthew Henry on Matthew 17:22-23

Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · Matthew Henry · CC0 1.0 Universal

Christ perfectly knew all things that should befall him, yet undertook the work of our redemption, which strongly shows his love. What outward debasement and Divine glory was the life of the Redeemer!

And all his humiliation ended in his exaltation. Let us learn to endure the cross, to despise riches and worldly honours, and to be content with his will.
