This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Saw a great light (phōs eiden mega). Matthew quotes Isa 9:1., and applies the words about the deliverer from Assyria to the Messiah. “The same district lay in spiritual darkness and death and the new era dawned when Christ went thither” (McNeile). Light sprang up from those who were sitting in the region and shadow of death (en chorāi kai skiāi thanatou). Death is personified.
