The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:34-39

Fellowship with me will involve separation from the dearest upon earth , yet the reward is great. (Cf. Matthew 10:5 , note.) The progress of thought in these verses seems to be as follows: Do not be surprised at the contradiction that appears between my teaching and the immediate result; I allowed for this when I began my work ( Matthew 10:34 ). There will, indeed, be separation in the closest earthly ties ( Matthew 10:35 , Matthew 10:36 ). But my claims are paramount ( Matthew... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:34-42

The mission of the gospel. These verses conclude the charge which Christ gave to his disciples when he commissioned them as evangelists. Having instructed them how they were to behave ( Matthew 10:5-15 ), warned them of the hostility they should encounter ( Matthew 10:16-23 ), and encouraged them to be fearless ( Matthew 10:24-33 ), he now enlightens them concerning the mission of their message. I. IT WAS DESTINED TO DISTURB THE OLD FOUNDATIONS OF SOCIETY . 1... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:35

Parallel passage: Luke 12:53 (cf. supra , Luke 12:21 , Luke 12:22 ). For I am come; I came (Revised Version). Notice the threefold ἦλθον . Christ would leave in his hearers' minds no room for thinking that he was ignorant of what the immediate result of his coming would be. To. A mere infinitive, not even with τοῦ , much less ἵνα with subject. The result is not in any sense the final cause of his coming. Set a man at variance against ( διχάσαι … κατὰ ) .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:36

No parallel passage in the Gospels. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household ( καὶ ἐχθροὶ τοῦ ἀνθρώπου οἱοἰκιακοὶ αὐτοῦ ) . ἐχθροί is predicate. His very household (not to be limited to servants) turns against him. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:34-36

Think not that I am come ... - This is taken from Micah 7:6. Christ did not here mean to say that the object of his coming was to produce discord and contention, for he was the Prince of Peace, Isaiah 9:6; Isaiah 11:6; Luke 2:14; but he means to say that such would be one of the effects of his coming. One part of a family that was opposed to Him would set themselves against those who believed in him. The wickedness of men, and not the religion of the gospel, is the cause of this hostility. It... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 10:34-36

Matthew 10:34-36. Think not that I am come, &c. As if he had said, Because the prophets have spoken glorious things of the peace and happiness of the world under the reign of the Messiah, whom they have named, for that reason, the Prince of peace, you may imagine that I am come to put the world into that happy state forthwith; and that universal peace will be the immediate consequence of my coming. But this is far from being the case; for, though the nature of my government be such as... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:5-42

62. The twelve sent out (Matthew 10:5-42; Mark 6:7-13; Luke 9:1-6)Jesus sent out the twelve apostles to preach the good news that the kingdom of the Messiah had come. The miraculous powers of the Messiah were given to them also, so that the knowledge of his love and mercy might spread more quickly throughout the land (Luke 9:1-2).There would be no time during Jesus’ lifetime to spread the gospel worldwide, so the apostles had to concentrate on Israel. After Jesus’ death and resurrection they... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:35

For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.Lines of cleavage between Christ's followers and the world cut sharply through the dearest and most intimate relationships on earth. In every church, almost in every household, there are scars caused by this sword. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:36

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.It was a "faithful" servant who betrayed William Tyndale to his death. It was the trusted disciple, Judas, who sold his Lord. The long and tragic history of the inquisitions, massacres, and bloody disturbances which have attended the efforts of the faithful to honor and serve the Christ afford countless examples fulfilling the Saviour's words. Even in modern times, every form of discrimination, partiality, bias, preferment, and rejection have... read more
