Matius 15:12

15:12 Then the disciples came to him and said, “Do you know that when the Pharisees ¹  heard this saying they were offended?”

Matius 16:14

16:14 They answered, “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, ²  and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.”

Matius 26:64

26:64 Jesus said to him, “You have said it yourself. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand ³  of the Power ⁴  and coming on the clouds of heaven.” ⁵ 

[15:12]  ¹ sn See the note on Pharisees in 3:7.

[16:14]  ² sn The appearance of Elijah would mean that the end time had come. According to 2 Kgs 2:11, Elijah was still alive. In Mal 4:5 it is said that Elijah would be the precursor of Messiah.

[26:64]  ³ sn An allusion to Ps 110:1. This is a claim that Jesus shares authority with God in heaven. Those present may have thought they were his judges, but, in fact, the reverse was true.

[26:64]  ⁴ sn The expression the right hand of the Power is a circumlocution for referring to God. Such indirect references to God were common in 1st century Judaism out of reverence for the divine name.

[26:64]  ⁵ sn An allusion to Dan 7:13 (see also Matt 24:30).
