Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-8

The Selection And Sending Out of The Apostles (9:35-10:8). While the speech is clearly one whole, it is also divided up into smaller sections each of which forms a chiasmus. In this the first smaller section the Apostles are commissioned, given authority and named in the light of the needs of lost sheep of the house of Israel. This smaller section can be analysed as follows; a Jesus goes throughout their towns preaching the Good News of the Kingly Rule of Heaven and (as the Servant - Matthew... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

Jesus Appoints and Sends Out The Twelve To Proclaim The Kingly Rule of Heaven With Admonitions, Warnings And Final Promises (9:35-11:1). In this section Jesus appoints and sends out His twelve Apostles. His purpose for them is that they might proclaim the Kingly Rule of Heaven, and reveal its presence on earth by the signs and miracles that will result as they evangelise (Matthew 10:1; Matthew 10:7-8). But He is full aware that their message will only be accepted by the minority as He has made... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-4

Matthew 9:36 to Matthew 10:4 . The Sending of the Twelve.— Jesus sees the people “ distressed and scattered”— better, “ mishandled and lying helpless”— utterly unprepared, through lack of spiritual guidance and succour, for the Advent of the Kingdom. It was the hour of opportunity, and if there were enough heralds of the Kingdom, the flock could be folded, the ripe harvest garnered ( cf. Luke 10:2— the charge to the Seventy; John 4:35). He has already chosen twelve disciples (Mt. assumes... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:1

Mark saith, Mark 3:14,Mark 3:15, And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils. Luke repeats almost the same words, Luke 9:1,Luke 9:2; only he saith he gave them power and authority over devils, —and to preach the kingdom of God. This was the first mission which the apostles had, much different from that given them after his resurrection; they were now sent only to the lost sheep of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 10:1-15

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 10:1. Called.—We must distinguish three calls, the first to be disciples; the second to serve as Evangelists; and now the third to the Apostolic office. This call to the Apostolate, however, was only preliminary, and limited by the present circumstances and position of the church. The Apostolic office obtained its full proportions after the ascension of our Lord, when the knowledge of the disciples and their testimony was completed, and the Holy Spirit poured out on the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:1-20

Matthew 10:1-20 Jesus giving His Power to His Followers. Note: I. The work Christ's followers were to do. They were to do the mysterious work which the Master had done, and to preach as both He and John had preached. They were sent forth to do and to serve, but were done by and served as they went. Having been entrusted with the responsibility of a great message, and furnished with a power which was the envy and amazement of all, there ought to be an elevation of their consciousness into some... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:1-42

Shall we turn now in our bibles to the tenth chapter of the gospel of Matthew?In the beginning of the tenth chapter we find Christ sending His disciples out, telling them to go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. But in the fact that He is sending them to go, in the first part of chapter ten, makes the last verse of chapter nine quite significant. For in the last verse of chapter nine, Jesus said to His disciples: "Pray ye therefore the Lord of harvest, that he will send forth labourers... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 10:1-42

Matthew 10:1 . He called to him his twelve disciples. Jesus chose twelve that they might sit on thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. Luke 22:30. And that they might be the twelve foundations and gates of his church. Revelation 21:12-14. But this preference to the twelve did not hinder the extraordinary powers of the Spirit from being conferred on other apostolic men. And who would have thought, when they left their nets, that they should fill eternal thrones? Believer, take... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 10:1

1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. Ver. 1. And when he had called the twelve ] He had set them to pray, Matthew 9:38 , and now he sets them to work. Ora et labora, pary and work, is an old proverb, and Admota manu invocanda est Minerva said the heathens. To pray to pray, is to mock God and lose one’s labour. Solomon saith, we must as well dig as... read more
