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 10:34

“Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword.” These remarkable words appear to set at nought what has He has previously taught, and yet deliberately so, for they describe the means by which the ends will be reached. Note first the statement ‘I came’. It is a claim to uniqueness. No one else but Someone Who was unique could claim that they had come for such a purpose, for He is not talking about a local situation but a worldwide situation. That... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:34-42

What Will Result From His Coming, And What He Requires Of Those Who Would Follow Him (10:34-42). As Jesus comes to the end of His instructions He wants His disciples to be aware of the waves that they are going to cause. He wants them to know that what He has come to bring will not result in peace but a sword. Rather than expecting perfect harmony to follow, they must expect a world divided in two as though with a sword-stroke (into those who walk in the broad way, and those who walk in the... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:34-36

Matthew 10:34-Zephaniah : . Family Feuds ( Luke 12:51-2 Thessalonians :), cf. Matthew 10:21 supra.— Family and social strife is a portent of the end in apocalyptic literature ( cf. the mission of Elijah, Malachi 4:5 f.). So the Rabbis interpreted Micah 7:6. History, both in the early Church and on the modern mission field, has abundantly illustrated the sad truth of the saying. Matthew 10:36 was Jesus’ own experience ( Mark 3:21). Lk. rightly interprets “ sword” ( Matthew 10:34) as “... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:34-35

Luke hath much the same with Matthew 10:34, in Luke 12:51. As the Jews were much mistaken in their notion of the Messiah, as if he were to be a temporal prince, to restore the kingdom to Israel, and as the kingdom, so a peaceful kingdom; so many persons think still that where true religion comes, there must be forthwith peace and union. And indeed so it should be, and so it would be if the gospel were cordially and universally received. It is impossible that a system of laws should be compiled... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 10:34-42

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 10:38. Taketh not his cross.—By the Roman custom criminals were compelled to bear the cross to the place of execution. The Galilæans would know too well what was meant by “taking the cross.” Many hundreds had paid that forfeiture for rebellion that had not prospered, under Judas the Gaulonite and others (Carr).Matthew 10:39. He that findeth his life.—The word is the same as that translated “soul” (i.e. that by which man lives in the lower or the higher sense of life) in... read more

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will 1 also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
