Matthew 16:17
_ _ And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou — Though it is not to be doubted that Peter, in this noble testimony to Christ, only expressed the conviction of all the Twelve, yet since he alone seems to have had clear enough apprehensions to put that conviction in proper and suitable words, and courage enough to speak them out, and readiness enough to do this at the right time — so he only, of all the Twelve, seems to have met the present want, and communicated to the saddened soul of the Redeemer at the critical moment that balm which was needed to cheer and refresh it. Nor is Jesus above giving indication of the deep satisfaction which this speech yielded Him, and hastening to respond to it by a signal acknowledgment of Peter in return.
_ _ Simon Bar-jona — or, “son of Jona” (John 1:42), or “Jonas” (John 21:15). This name, denoting his humble fleshly extraction, seems to have been purposely here mentioned, to contrast the more vividly with the spiritual elevation to which divine illumination had raised him.
_ _ for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee — “This is not the fruit of human teaching.”
_ _ but my Father which is in heaven — In speaking of God, Jesus, it is to be observed, never calls Him, “our Father” (see on John 20:17), but either “your Father” — when He would encourage His timid believing ones with the assurance that He was theirs, and teach themselves to call Him so — or, as here, “My Father,” to signify some peculiar action or aspect of Him as “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” |
Matthew 16:17
Flesh and blood — That is, thy own reason, or any natural power whatsoever. |
Matthew 16:17
(4) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for (k) flesh and blood hath not revealed [it] unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
(4) Faith is of grace, not of nature.
(k) By this kind of speech is meant man's natural procreation upon the earth, the one who was made, not being destroyed, but deformed through sin: So then this is the meaning: this was not revealed to you by any understanding of man, but God showed it to you from heaven. |
- Blessed:

All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and [he] to whom the Son will reveal [him].

1 Corinthians 2:9-12 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. ... Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
