An allusion is made to this passage in Mark 6:48, where Jesus almost passed by the disciples as He was walking on water. However, Zondervan's NASB Study Bible states, "If they had not invited Him in, He apparently would have continued on by Himself." The Classic Bible Commentary by Owen Collins states, "'Stay with us.' There are several other instances of similar expressions like this in Scripture used on similar occasions (see Genesis 32:26; Judges 6:18; 13:15). All show that God loves to be entreated by his people, and that those who wish to have much must ask much, and even do so with holy violence." (pg. 1076, copy 1999, Crossway Books) Matthew Henry Commentary suggests, "They courted His stay with them: He made as though He would have gone further; He did not say that He would, but He seemed to them to be going further, and did not readily turn into their friend's house, which it would not be decent for a stranger to do unless he were invited. He would have gone further if they had not courted His stay; so that here was nothing like dissimulation in the case. If a stranger be shy, every one knows the meaning of it; he will not thrust himself rudely upon your house or company; but, if you make it appear that you are freely desirous of him for your guest or companion, he knows not but he may accept your invitation, and this was all that Christ did when He made as though he would have gone further. Note, Those that would have Christ dwell with them must invite Him, and be importunate with him; though He is often found of those that seek him not.." (pg. 1912) |
