The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 10:34-36

The result of such uncompromising demands: v. 34. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth. I came not to send peace, but a sword. v. 35. For I am come 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. v. 36. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. The same thought as in verse 21. Peace on earth was promised at the birth of Jesus, Luke 2:14. And peace on earth was earned by the... read more

11. Christ come to send into the old world, not peace, but a sword, because He sends, in His love, absolute peace and eternal life. Sixth warning and comfort. Matthew 10:34-3934Think not that I am come to send [to throw, βαλεῖν] peace on [the old] earth: Icame not to send peace, but a sword. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against [with] his father, and the [a] daughter against [with] her mother, and the daughter-in-law 36[a bride, νύμφην] against [with] her mother in-law.

Matthew THE KING’S CHARGE TO HIS AMBASSADORS Mat_10:32 - Mat_10:42 . The first mission of the apostles, important as it was, was but a short flight to try the young birds’ wings. The larger portion of this charge to them passes far beyond the immediate occasion, and deals with the permanent relations of Christ’s servants to the world in which they live, for the purpose of bringing it into subjection to its true King. These solemn closing words, which make our present subject, contain the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 10:34-42

Receiving Christ’s Representatives Matthew 10:34-42 In Jesus Christ we acquire a new affinity, stronger than that of family ties. When we enter into the family of God we belong to all His children. They are our brethren and sisters in the most intimate sense. See Matthew 12:48-50 . The new love that floods our nature does not make us less but more tender and sympathetic toward our own kith and kin; but if we are compelled to choose, then we must stand with the children of God, though it... 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 10:24-42

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 10:34-42

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:35-36

“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, And a man’s foes will be those of his own household.” (Note the pattern, which will be repeated again twice below, a threefold statement followed by a conclusion). The sword will divide and even slay. But the picture here is not of warfare. It is of a world at war with Christ. ‘At variance’ does not in itself signify fighting. It signifies being in... 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
