F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 10:16-23

Steadfast under Persecution Matthew 10:16-23 The way of the servants and heralds of Christ will never be easy. From the first, it has been lined with jagged flints. On the one hand, they are assailed by the rulers and potentates of this world; and on the other, by the members of their own homes. See Acts 4:25 . But all these experiences are permitted in order to secure an entrance for their message into the most unlikely places, 2 Timothy 4:17 . The fact of the disciples being driven from... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

As a result of this, the King calls, equips, and sends forth His disciples. No work can be done to extend His Kingdom that is not the direct outcome of His compassion. To men in communion with that compassion He first says, "Pray," and then, "Go." This is the perpetual order of the messengers and missionaries of His Kingdom-Compassion, Prayer, Service. These men are to proclaim the Kingdom, and to accompany the proclamation with signs. The measure of their service is to be the measure of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 10:1-24

Sending out the Twelve Matthew 10:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Scripture for this study opens with the statement, "And when He had called unto Him His twelve disciples." We want to speak of the facts that lie hidden away in these words. 1. The Lord needs special men for special tasks. Somehow or other we believe just what is written: "And to every man his work." God does not say, Anybody and everybody rush out and get busy: He says, to this one, Do this; and that one, Do that. Everybody's... 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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:16

“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” Jesus introduces His warnings about the future by likening their going forth as similar to that of sheep going among wolves. This in itself is a reminder of the uniqueness of the event. No one sends sheep among wolves. Only God could do that. As those who are poor in spirit (Matthew 5:3) and meek (Matthew 5:5) and compassionate (Matthew 5:44) they will find themselves having to... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:16-23

The Dangers That They Will Face In The Future. Having declared the positive side of what their experiences will be Jesus now turns to the problems that they will face. For while they go trusting their heavenly Father for His provision, and as representatives of the Coming One, they must not thereby think that they will be immune from men’s hatred. For just as John’s teaching, and His own teaching, have produced hatred in men, so will theirs. They must therefore expect the worst. They will find... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:5-42

Matthew 10:5-Luke : . The Charge to the Twelve.— The section forms the second of five passages into which Mt. col lected the sayings of Jesus. The Markan account ( Matthew 6:7-1 Kings :) is followed by Luke 9:1-Deuteronomy :, but Luke 10:2-Joshua : (the Seventy) is from Q; Matthew 10:5-Nehemiah : combines the two sources. The mission is limited to Jews, hardly, in view of Matthew 10:6, Matthew 10:23, to the Jews of Galilee. Luke 10 omits the limitation; he wrote mainly for Gentiles. Indeed,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:11-23

Matthew 10:11-Isaiah : . The apostles are to put up at the houses of the “ worthy,” i.e. such as are ready to welcome them and their message. The house in Matthew 10:13 is perhaps best understood of that at which they make the inquiry; the “ peace” or salutation is thought of as an objective blessing settling upon the worthy household, but otherwise returning to the speakers in full measure for future use. Or that city ( Matthew 10:14) is the confusing addition of some copyist. So is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:16

Our Lord having hitherto instructed his twelve apostles as to the places whither they were to go, the work they had to do, and the methods he would have them observe, now comes to arm them against their difficulties, and the temptations they were like to meet with. I send you forth (saith he) as sheep in the midst of wolves. It is most probable that our Saviour speaks this with reference to what they were like to meet with when he should be taken from them, for we do not read of any great... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 10:16-23

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 10:17. Synagogues.—The ecclesiastical and civil elements were so thoroughly inter-blended among the Jews, that “in every synagogue,” says Lightfoot, “there was a civil triumvirate,” or judicatory of three. These magistrates sat in judgment on all cases that required to be treated judicially (Morison).Matthew 10:23. Till the Son of man be come.—The immediate reference is, probably, to the destruction of Jerusalem.MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Matthew 10:16-23Special... read more
