Matthew 17:22
Compare all
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your1 unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, aif you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.  
21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”  

Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection

22 aNow while they were1 staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, “The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,  
23 and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up.” And they were exceedingly asorrowful.  

Peter and His Master Pay Their Taxes

24 aWhen they had come to1 Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?”  
25 He said, “Yes.” And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their sons or from astrangers?”  
26 Peter said to Him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free.
27 Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened its mouth, you will find a1 piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.”

Barnes' Notes
<< Matthew 17:21   Matthew 17:23 >>


Matthew 17:22-23

See also Mark 9:30-33; Luke 9:43-45.

And while they abode in Galilee - Galilee, the northern part of Palestine. See the notes at Matthew 2:22.

The Son of man shall be betrayed ... - To betray means to deliver up in a treacherous manner. This was done by Judas Iscariot, called for that act the traitor, Matthew 26:14-16, Matthew 26:47-50. A traitor, or betrayer, is one who makes use of confidence reposed in him for the purpose of delivering him up who puts that confidence in him to the hands of enemies.

Matthew 17:23

And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again - See Matthew 12:40. Mark and Luke add that they understood not that saying, and it was hid from them, and they were afraid to ask him. The reasons of this may have been,

1.They were strongly attached to him, and were exceedingly sorry (Matthew) at any intimation that he was soon to leave them. They learned with great slowness and reluctance, therefore, that he was to be treated in this manner.

2.They were not willing to believe it. They knew that he was the Messiah, but they supposed that he was to be a distinguished prince, and was to restore the kingdom to Israel, Acts 1:6. But to be betrayed into the hands of his enemies, and be put to death, appeared to them to be frustrating all these expectations.

3.Though what he said was plain enough, yet they did not understand it; they could not see how he could be the Messiah, and yet be put to death in this manner; nor did they understand it fully until after the resurrection.
