    Chapter Sixteen
    Matthew 16:1-5

    1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
    2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
    3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
    4 A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
    5 And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread.


    Matthew 16:6-12

    6 Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
    7 And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread.
    8 Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread?
    9 Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
    10 Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up?
    11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?
    12 Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.



    Matthew 16:13-16

    13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi,* he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am?
    14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets.
    15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
    16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.


    • The First Mention of the Church.
    Matthew 16:17-20

    17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona : for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
    18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art (1) Peter *, and upon this rock I will build my (2) church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
    19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. (jhs7)
    20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.



    Matthew 16:21-27

    21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
    22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
    23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, (4) Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
    24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
    25 For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
    26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
    27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.


    Matthew 16:28

    28 Verily I say unto you, There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

    Notes for This Chapter of Matthew





    Son of Jonas. See also: Note this page


    See also, Matthew 8:27-33; Luke 9:18-22


    (See also, Matt. 16:27, 28; See Matt. 8:20, note)


    (See refs. Kingdom(N.T.) vs. 20, 21; Matthew 16:28. (Cf. Luke 1:31-33; 1 Cor. 15:28.)


    (See Matthew 18:18)


    have already been bound


    Satan. Read Matthew 25:41. (Cf. Genesis 3:1; Revelation 20:10


    i.e., kosmos== world-system.


    (
    Rewards. Mark 9:41; Cf. Daniel 12:3; 1 Corinthians 3:14.)


    Judgments (the seven). Read Matthew 25:31-46; Cf. 2 Samuel 7:14; Revelation 20:12


    Kingdom (N.T.). Matthew 17:1-3. Cf. Luke 1:31-33; 1 Cor. 15:24


    A different Greek word from that translated "baskets" Matthew 16:9


    Some texts omit "Jesus.".


    1021_1
      There is in the Greek a play upon the words, "thou art Peter [petroa—literally, 'a little rock'], and upon this rock [Petra] I will build my church." He does not promise to build His church upon Peter, but upon Himself, as Peter himself is careful to tell us (1 Peter 2:4-9).




    1021_2
      Read: Church (the true) Acts 2:47. See also Matthew 16:18; Hebrews 12:23.

      Greek ecclesia (ek = "out of," kaleo = "to call"), an assembly of called-out ones. The word is used of any assembly; the word itself implies no more, as, e.g., the town-meeting at Ephesus (Acts 19:39), and Israel, called out of Egypt and assembled in the wilderness (Acts 7:38). Israel was a true "church," but not in any sense the New Testament church—the only point of similarity being that both were "called out" and by the same God.

      All else is contrast. See Acts 7:38; Hebrews 12:23.






    1098_1 Hades Summary:
      (1) Hades before the ascension of Christ. The passages in which the word occurs make it clear that hades was formerly in two divisions, the abodes respectively of the saved and of the lost. The former was called "paradise"





    1022_1
      Keys of The Kingdom

      Not the keys of the church, but of the kingdom of heaven in the sense of Matthew 13., i.e. the sphere of Christian profession. A key is a badge of power or authority (cf. Isaiah 22:22; Revelation 3:7). The apostolic history explains and limits this trust, for it was Peter who opened the door of Christian opportunity to Israel on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2:38-42), and to Gentiles in the house of Cornelius (Acts 10:34-36).

      There was no assumption by Peter of any other authority (Acts 15:7-11). In the council James, not Peter, seems to have presided (Acts 15:19; Cf. Galatians 2:11-15). Peter claimed no more for himself than to be an apostle by gift (1 Peter 1:1), and an elder by office (1 Peter 5:1).

      The power of binding and losing was shared (Matthew 18:18; John 20:23) by the other disciples. That it did not involve the determination of the eternal destiny of souls is clear from Revelation 1:18. The keys of death and the place of departd spirits are held by Christ alone.






    1022_2
      The disciples had been proclaiming Jesus as the Christ, i.e. the covenanted King of a kingdom promised to the Jews, and "at hand." The church, on the contrary, must be built upon testimony to Him as crucified, risen from the dead, ascended, and made "Head over all things to the church" (Ephesians 1:20-23).

      The former testimony was ended, the new testimony was not yet ready, because the blood of the new covenant had not yet been shed, but our Lord begins to speak of His death and resurrection (Matthew 16:21). It is a turning-point of immense significance.






    996_1
      Cf.Matthew 3:2

      Kingdom of Heaven

      (1) The phrase, kingdom of heaven (lit. of the heavens), is peculiar to Matthew and signifies the Messianic earth rule of Jesus Christ, the Son of David. It is called the kingdom of the heavens because it is the rule of the heavens over the earth (Matthew 6:10).

      The phrase is derived from Daniel, where it is defined (Daniel 2:34-36, 44; 7:23-27) as the kingdom which "the God of heaven" will set up after the destruction by "the stone cut out without hands" of the Gentile world-system.

      It is the kingdom covenanted to David's seed (2 Samuel 7:7-10, refs.); described in the prophets (Zechariah 12:8, note); and confirmed to Jesus the Christ, the Son of Mary, through the angel Gabriel (Luke 1:32, 33).

      (2) The kingdom of heaven has three aspects in Matthew:
