Praise for the Print Edition
John G. Butler, longtime pastor and Bible commentator, is to be commended for his affirmation, alliteration, and application of the biblical text. He provides a treasure chest of biblical truth for the teacher and preacher of the Word of God. I gladly recommend his writings.
—Dr. Franklin L. Kirksey, Pastor, Teacher, Mentor, Writer, Author of Sound Biblical Preaching: Giving the Bible a Voice
I know of no finer collection of resources than Butler. No library is complete without these uncompromising gems of wisdom. After reading the Bible text itself, my next step is always to consult Butler. They are absolutely essential to my Bible study.

Top Highlights
“Christ demonstrated His power during the capture to show that He was not being overpowered by man but was rather submitting to the Divine plan to suffer and die for the salvation of sinners.” (Page 11)
“Christ did not warn about the betrayal after it was plotted; rather the plotting of the betrayal occurred after (‘then’) Christ warned the disciples about it. All of this says that God was not only aware of when the capture and crucifixion were going to occur, but He would also determine the time.” (Page 12)
“The crucifixion of Christ manifested the compassion of Christ like nothing else. It also manifested the depravity of man like nothing else.” (Page 9)
“The religious leaders should have been the first to lead the people to honoring Christ instead of despising Him. The civic leaders should have insisted on honoring the law and thus stopping the unjust attack upon Christ. The scribes should have abolished the ignorance of the people by teaching the Scriptures better and showing them that the Scriptures confirmed that Jesus Christ was indeed the promised Messiah.” (Pages 13–14)
“Of the seven sayings of the Savior on Calvary’s cross, three were addressed to God the Father and four were addressed to men. The three sayings addressed to God were prayers (first, fourth, and seventh sayings). Three of these seven sayings are recorded in Luke and three in John. Matthew and Mark record only one of these seven sayings, and they both record the same saying (fourth).” (Page 291)
