Commentary on Matthew and Mark

John J. Owen’s commentary on Matthew and Mark draws from critical knowledge of the Greek language—including its grammar, structure, and idioms—as well as his acquaintance with the latest scholarship. It incorporates the findings of linguists, historians, archaeologists and other scholars to reveal relevant contextual issues. Owen’s commentary displays a masterful understanding of Greek. In fact, prior to writing commentaries on the Bible, Owen published numerous works on Homer, Zenophpon, and other classics. At the same time, Owen’s commentary serves a general audience of teachers, lay readers, and students of the Bible. He avoids unnecessary technicalities, and exposits Scripture in readable and accessible language, in order to aid general readers in the study of God’s Word.
