Matthew Henry's Commentary on Matthew 17:23

Commentary on Matthew 17:22-23

(Read Matthew 17:22-23)

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.
