📖🕯 Holy Bible - Matthew 27 with Matthew Henry Commentary at the end.

📖 This chapter is about: Christ delivered to Pilate, The despair of Judas, Christ before Pilate, Barabbas loosed, Christ mocked, Christ led to be crucified, He is crucified, The death of Christ, Events at the crucifixion, The burial of Christ, The sepulchre secured.

🕯 How does this apply today?: "Thus do fools make a mock at sin. Thus many make light of Christ crucified. And it is a common instance of the deceitfulness of our hearts, to make light of our own sin by dwelling upon other people's sins. But the judgment of God is according to truth." ~ Matthew Henry

📖 About the book: Matthew, surnamed Levi, before his conversion was a publican, or tax-gatherer under the Romans at Capernaum. He is generally allowed to have written his Gospel before any other of the evangelists. The contents of this Gospel, and the evidence of ancient writers, show that it was written primarily for the use of the Jewish nation. The fulfilment of prophecy was regarded by the Jews as strong evidence, therefore this is especially dwelt upon by Matthew. Here are particularly selected such parts of our Saviour's history and discourses as were best suited to awaken the Jewish nation to a sense of their sins; to remove their erroneous expectations of an earthly kingdom; to abate their pride and self-conceit; to teach them the spiritual nature and extent of the gospel; and to prepare them for the admission of the Gentiles into the church.
