Cross References

Isaiah 9:6For to us + 9:6 a MP: “a child is born,” Messiah is born as a human being, a man-child. (Luke 2:11-12a) + 9:6 a MP: “a child is born,” Messiah has a human body of flesh and bone. (Luke 2:11; John 1:14) a child is born. To us + 9:6 a MP: Messiah is the Son of God, “a son is given”. Hence Messiah has divine origins. (Luke 1:32, 1:35; John 1:34c; Col 2:9) a son is given; and + 9:6 b MP: Messiah comes to bear the responsibility as the prophesied heir who establishes the everlasting kingdom as the heir to the throne of David. (Luke 1:32) the government will be on his shoulders. His name will be called + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is called Wonderful Counselor, by Christian interpretation this is one name. Judaism sees this as two names. “Wonderful” as in (Judges 13:18) by the Angel of Yahweh to Judge Manoah. Also “Counselor,” one who brings wisdom from God like Moses and Aaron did (Num 11:16-17). (Luke 4:22; John 7:46) Peleh-Yo 'etz [Wonderful-Counselor], + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is called “Mighty God,” for he is mighty and strong, able to save. Hebrew Gibbor means Mighty or Strong. (Matt 14:27; Acts 4:12) El Gibbor [Mighty God], + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is everlasting with the authority of his father (Yahweh and ancestor David). Now the Hebrew idiom “Eternal Father” in the context of a ruler on David’s throne (Is 9:7). Eternal father could mean “The ruler with authority to pass on or deny access to eternal life”. (John 5:19, 5:30, 12:49-50; Rev 1:18) Avi-'Ad [Everlasting Father], + 9:6 b MP: Messiah is the “Prince of Peace”. This role can be understood as “The chief leader of the people establishing a peaceful covenant relationship with God”. (John 12:49-50; Col 1:19-20) Sar-Shalom [Prince of Peace].

Matthew 12:23All the multitudes were amazed, and said, “Can this be the son of David [Beloved]?”

Matthew 21:9+ 21:9. MP: Messiah comes in the name of Yahweh. This is also an appropriate greeting to Messiah. (Ps 118:25-26a) The multitudes who went in front of him, and those who followed, kept shouting, “ Hosanna ·Save now· to the son of David [Beloved]! Blessed is he who comes in the name of MarYah [Master Yahweh]! Hosanna ·Save now· + 21:9. Quoted from Ps 118:25-26 in the highest!”

Matthew 22:42saying, “What do you think of the Messiah [Anointed one]? Whose son is he?” They said to him, “Of David [Beloved].”

Matthew Henry on Luke 18:36-43

Sight Restored to the Blind. 35 And it came to pass, that as he was come nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the way side begging: 36 And hearing the multitude pass by, he asked what it meant. 37 And they told him, that Jesus of Nazareth passeth by. 38 And he cried, saying, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 39 And they which went before rebuked him, that he should hold his peace: but he cried so much the more, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. 40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to be… Read the whole commentary →
