  Matthew Chapter 11 – Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Photo by  Szilvia Basso  on  Unsplash The eleventh chapter of the Gospel of Matthew is like a turning point in Jesus ministry. Up until now we seen him healing, preaching the Kingdom, calling disciples, calming storms, showing power over demons, even raising dead people. But in Matthew 11, something deeper starts happening. We get to see not only the mighty works of Jesus but also the doubts of men, the response of cities, and the gentle yet strong heart of the Savior who calls all who are weary. This chapter is not just history, it still speaks to us today, in our struggles, doubts, faith, and daily burdens. I want to walk through it slowly, verse by verse or section by section, with my own observations. Not everything will be perfect grammar because honestly that’s how we speak when we try to write personal study notes. Sometimes we ramble. Sometimes short phrases. Sometimes a long flow of words. That’...

  Matthew Chapter 10 – Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Photo by  Szilvia Basso  on  Unsplash Matthew chapter 10 is one of those chapters that really feels like Jesus is preparing His disciples for a mission. It's not just some casual talk. It's instructions. It's like when a teacher gets his students ready before they go out to do a project, except here the stakes are eternal. In this chapter, Jesus selects the twelve apostles, gives them authority, sends them out, warns them about persecutions, and promises them rewards. It’s long and very deep, and honestly sometimes a bit uncomfortable to read, because it reminds us that following Christ is not always easy. But it's beautiful too. So let's go step by step through it. Verses 1-4 – The Choosing of the Twelve The chapter starts with Jesus calling His twelve disciples and giving them authority to drive out unclean spirits and heal every disease. The names are then listed: Simon Peter, Andrew, James, John, Phil...

Matthew Chapter 9 – Commentary and Explanation (Bible Study) Photo by  Szilvia Basso  on  Unsplash Matthew chapter 9 is a wonderful chapter, a full chapter of action, healing, teaching, calling, mercy, and also confrontations with religious leaders. When you read it slowly, you can almost feel the scenes happening in front of your eyes. Jesus is not only speaking in this chapter, but he is moving, walking through towns, entering houses, touching lives, changing destinies. And Matthew, who himself was called in this chapter, writes down with clear memory the way his own life was transformed. This study will go step by step through the verses, mixing commentary, some explanation, and also reflections. It is not a perfect writing, you will find some sentences long, some short, sometimes a bit rough in grammar, but I believe that is okay because truth and passion is more important than polish. Forgiveness and Healing of the Paralytic (Matthew 9:1–8) The chapter begins wi...

 Matthew Chapter 8 – Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Photo by  Szilvia Basso  on  Unsplash When we open the pages of Matthew Chapter 8, we step right into a series of miracles, teachings, and demonstrations of authority that show us Jesus not just as teacher, but also as Lord with power over sickness, nature, demons, and even life itself. In many ways, this chapter is a living proof that the words spoken in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7) are not just words. They carry authority, and that authority is shown in action. The chapter is like the practical display of the kingdom of heaven breaking into the world. And I want to walk slowly through it, like a friend explaining what they see, with thoughts spilling, sometimes not in perfect order, but still pointing toward the richness of the Word. So let us take this journey together. Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy (Matthew 8:1–4) After the long Sermon on the Mount, Matthew tells us that Jesus came down from th...

Matthew Chapter 7 – Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Photo by  Szilvia Basso  on  Unsplash Matthew Chapter 7 is one of those chapters in the Bible that feel like a heart-to-heart conversation with Jesus. It is the closing part of His famous Sermon on the Mount , and honestly, it is full of instructions that cut straight to the heart. The words are not just religious sayings; they reach into daily living, into how we treat other people, how we approach God, and how we live in light of eternity. Some verses are very popular—“Judge not, that you be not judged,” “Ask and it will be given,” and “Enter through the narrow gate”—yet when we sit and reflect deeper, we discover that each line is heavier than it looks at first glance. So let us walk slowly through Matthew chapter 7. I’ll share the verses, some explanation, some commentary, and even little thoughts that might sound imperfect, but real. Let’s study together. Verses 1–5: Do Not Judge Hypocritically “Judge no...

Matthew Chapter 6 – Commentary and Explanation Photo by Szilvia Basso on Unsplash When we open our Bibles and sit with Matthew Chapter 6, we find ourselves right in the middle of the Sermon on the Mount. This chapter is one of those powerful, heart-probing parts of Scripture where Jesus takes us deeper than the surface. He’s not only teaching rules or outward religion here, He’s pulling back the curtain on what real righteousness looks like, the kind that flows from inside a transformed heart. Now if you read through Matthew 6, you’ll see three big themes pop out: giving to the needy, prayer (with the Lord’s Prayer right in the middle), and fasting. But it doesn’t stop there. Jesus also talks about treasure in heaven, the eye being the lamp of the body, and He ends with that famous part about not worrying, because our Father knows what we need. This chapter, in so many ways, is about sincerity. About doing things not to be seen by others, not to impress, but to live before God’s ey...

Matthew Chapter 5 – Commentary and Explanation Bible Study Matthew chapter 5 is one of the most well-known and most powerful sections in the whole New Testament. This chapter opens the Sermon on the Mount, which is basically Jesus’s longest recorded teaching in one continuous flow. It runs from Matthew 5 through Matthew 7. And honestly, this sermon is not just religious instruction, it’s like a blueprint for living in God’s kingdom. It flips human ideas upside down and shows what true righteousness is, compared to just outward religion. Let’s walk through this chapter step by step, breaking it down verse by verse, while keeping things in a study style but still conversational, almost like we’re sitting down with coffee and reading through the text together. Setting the Scene (Matthew 5:1–2) “And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying…” So Jesus is not speaking here in ...

  Matthew Chapter 4 – Commentary and Explanation Photo by  Aaron Burden  on  Unsplash Matthew Chapter 4 is a fascinating and powerful part of the Gospel story. It’s like we get a front row seat to the beginning of Jesus’ public ministry. There’s temptation in the wilderness, calling of disciples, prophecy being fulfilled, light breaking into darkness, and a powerful beginning of His preaching and healing ministry. If Matthew Chapter 3 was the preparation (John the Baptist preaching repentance and Jesus’ baptism), then Matthew 4 is where the mission really takes off. But here’s something interesting – this chapter starts in the desert, not in a crowd. It starts with hunger, not applause. It starts with confrontation with the enemy, not celebration from the people. That tells us something right away: sometimes God’s greatest works in and through us begin in the quiet, dry, and testing places before the public breakthrough. Let’s take this journey verse by verse and ...
