Generally good commentaries are noted below. Be aware that if a commentary series is for the whole New or Old Testament or for both, that usually an author is better in some books than others. There are also "critical" commentaries that do work out of the original languages and get you further into the meaning of individual works and "devotional" commentaries that are good but light reading on passages.
William Hendriksen - His commentaries would be identified as "critical" and would be mostly New Testament on individual books.
Warren W. Wiersbe - Good balance between "critical" and "devotional" commentaries. Excellent at helping you get to the point of the passage. Old and New Testament books are available.
H. C. Leupold - Commentaries by Leupold are good for those interested in the Old Testament and give solid help in understanding these books.
A. W. Pink - Pink has both commentaries and biographical studies in the Old Testament.
C. F. Keil & F. Delitzsch - Old Testament "critical" commentaries that give you lots of material and a deep sense for a passage.

The Temple, It's Ministry and Services As They Were at the Time of Jesus Christ, by Alfred Edersheim A great work, insightful for anyone seeking understanding of the practices of the Jews in Jesus' time. Multitude of information that brings clarity to Biblical passages, both Old and New Testament.
