Different study bibles could have a different focus. Through prayer, context and comprehensive you are able to question a study note or commentary.

1. Matthew 27:50-51 [ESV]
50 And Jesus cried out again with a
loud voice and yielded up his spirit.
51 And behold, the curtain of the
temple was torn in two, from top to
bottom. And the earth shook, and the
rocks were split.

2. Matthew 27:52-54 [ESV]
52 The tombs also were opened. And many
bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were
raised, 53 and coming out of the tombs after his
resurrection they went into the holy city and
appeared to many. 54 When the centurion and
those who were with him, keeping watch over
Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place,
they were filled with awe and said, “Truly this
was the Son of God!”

3. DIFFERENT Study Bibles
could have a DIFFERENT
focus.
Are YOU able to QUESTION a
study note or commentary?
Short answer: YES.
Guide #1 is PRAYER: Ask God for His
understanding of SCRIPTURE through THE
HOLY SPIRIT.

4. Guide #3 is COMPREHENSIVENESS: how
does this thought fit in the TOTALITY of
SCRIPTURE?
Guide #2 is CONTEXT: That
which is CONNECTED or
WOVEN together.
Unless dealing with facts, STUDY BIBLES and
COMMENTARIES are just this: AN
OPINION.
Most good Bible translations
have MARGIN NOTES.
Use them!
