Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 10:24-42

The Disciple and His Lord Matthew 10:24-42 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We thought it well to present seven names by which the children of God are known in the New Testament. 1. The first name we shall mention is "disciple." That is the word used in the first verse of our Scripture lesson. The word really means "learner." We are familiar with Mary and her sister Martha. Mary had this distinction that she sat at Jesus' feet and heard His Word. Martha, to the contrary, was cumbered about many things.... 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's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:23-33

They Are To Preach Boldly, Remembering Whose They Are, And Are Not To Be Afraid For Three Reasons (10:23-33). Having warned His disciples of the opposition that they will face, Jesus now puts everything in the light of eternity. They are to consider everything in the light of eternal realities, and recognise that there is nothing more important than proclaiming His message to the world, remembering also the watchfulness of their heavenly Father over them. Analysis of Matthew 10:23-33 . a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:24-25

“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household!” But they must expect persecution. For Jesus their Teacher and Lord is being, and will be, persecuted, and thus they must expect to be so too. For a disciple is not more important than his Teacher (for Jesus as Teacher see Matthew 9:11), and a servant... 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

Matthew 10:26-Micah : . From Q ( cf. Luke 12:2-1 Samuel :): Matthew 10:26 is found in Mark 4:22, though the application is different both there and also in Luke 12:2. Here and in Matthew 10:27 the thought is that Jesus’ influence in His lifetime is... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:24-25

As much as if he had said, "Think not much if you meet with persecutions: I am your Lord and Master, you are my servants and household; you have no reason to look for better measure from the world than I your Lord meet with; it is honour enough for you to be used as well as I am. You know they have persecuted me, they call me Beelzebub, saying that I cast out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of devils. Why should you expect better?" Our Saviour used the same argument, Luke 6:40. Beelzebub was... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 10:24-33

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 10:25. Beelzebub.—In the original, Beelzebul, which is probably the true reading in all the places of the New Testament where this name occurs. Two principal explanations have been given of the word as thus written: 1. According to the Hebrew of the Old Testament, the signification is, lord of the dwelling, a term, perhaps, corresponding to that of prince of the power of the air (Ephesians 2:2). To this meaning there may possibly be an allusion in the choice of the... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:24-25

Matthew 10:24-25 I. Likeness to the teacher in wisdom is the disciple's perfection. "If the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." "The disciple is not greater than his master." "It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master." If that be a true principle, that the best that can happen to the scholar is to tread in his teacher's footsteps, to see with his eyes, to absorb his wisdom, to learn his truth, we may apply it in two opposite directions. First, it teaches us the... 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
