The transfiguration of Jesus.14. He heals the boy with a demon, 22. foretells his own passion, 24. and pays tribute. But I tell you This phrase is a direct assertion from Jesus, emphasizing His authority and the importance of the message He is about to convey. In the Greek, "λέγω ὑμῖν" (legō hymin) is used, which is a common expression in the Gospels where Jesus introduces a significant teaching or revelation. This phrase underscores the divine authority of Christ, as He speaks not just as a teacher, but as the Son of God, bringing a message that demands attention and reflection. Elijah has already come and they did not recognize him but have done to him whatever they wished In the same way, the Son of Man will suffer at their hands They knew him not.--The Greek word implies full and accurate knowledge. Better, perhaps, they recognised him not. Must we not say that those who, after these words, still look forward to the personal advent of Elijah are unconsciously placing themselves on a level with those whose dimness of perception our Lord thus condemns? But have done unto him whatsoever they listed.--Literally, they did in him (in him, i.e., as the region in which their will wrought) whatsoever they would. To "list," now practically archaic, was the same as "lust," without the special evil sense which has attached to the latter word. It is significant that our Lord charges the guilt of the rejection and death of John upon the scribes and the people at large, with no special reference to the Tetrarch Antipas. The passions and intrigues of the palace were but instruments working out the intent of the Pharisees and Sadducees. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.--Another instance of what may be called the new colour which from the time of the Transfiguration spreads over our Lord's teaching. All is, in one aspect, darker, sadder, more sombre. He is drawing nearer to the cross, and He brings the thought of the cross closer to the minds of the disciples. Verse 12. - Elias is come already. The mystical, not the real, Elias, even John the Baptist, who came in the spirit and power of Elias (Luke 1:17). Christ is here speaking of the past, as in the preceding verse he spake of the future. The common Jewish interpretation confused the two events and the two personages, reducing them to one. And this mistake has been committed by many modern expositors. They knew him not. They did not recognize his true character and the import of his mission. Though they gathered round him and listened to his preaching and denunciations, very few saw in him the precursor of the Messiah, and many, misunderstanding his austere, self-denying life, deemed him to be possessed by a devil (Matthew 11:18). They have done unto him. John suffered a long imprisonment, and was eventually murdered; and though Herod was primarily answerable for these doings, the people were virtually guilty, in that they consented to the injurious treatment and made no effort in his favour. Likewise...also. Taking occasion from the mention of the Baptist's fate, Jesus foretells his own sufferings and death, endeavouring to make the apostles familiar with the idea of a dying as well as a conquering Messiah.Parallel Commentaries ...
