Verse 41
A prophet is one who speaks for another. The disciples served as prophets when they announced Jesus’ message. Jesus Himself was a prophet since He spoke for God. The one who received the disciple would receive a reward from God suitable to one who had entertained one of God’s representatives. Likewise the disciples were righteous men who represented another righteous man, Jesus. God would give those who received the disciples as righteous men a reward in keeping with what a righteous man deserves (cf. Matthew 5:20; John 13:20).
