Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:26

This is a proverbial speech, used by our Saviour upon more occasions than this, Mark 4:22; Luke 8:17; Luke 12:2. As to his present use of it, the sense is, "Though my gospel be now covered and hid, yet it shall be revealed and made known." Or, "Though your innocency be hid and covered, yet God shall bring forth your judgment as the light, and your righteousness as the noonday." Or, "Though your enemies’ rage and malice be hid, and their vengeance seemeth to sleep, yet it shall be revealed." The... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:27

The candle of the gospel, which God hath by John the Baptist and me lighted up, is not to be hid; though therefore you have it from me in private, yet do you publish it. I do as it were whisper it in your ear by private discourses, and in a private converse, but it shall be made as public as if it were published to the greatest advantage; and do you contribute what you can unto it, do you publish my gospel as it were upon the house tops. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:28

As I told you before, you will in the publication of my gospel meet with opposition from men. Now that it is preached as it were in darkness, and whispered in men’s ears, there is no great noise made in the world; but the case will be otherwise when it cometh to be publicly revealed, and published upon the housetops. But consider, the enemies can only kill the bodies of my disciples: you have souls as well as bodies; they have no power over your souls; but he that hath sent you to preach, and... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:29-31

Besides, consider, there is a God that governs the world, and by his providence influences and watcheth over the most minute and invaluable beings in it, and preserveth and upholdeth them; it extendeth to the very hairs of your head, and to a sparrow (two of which are sold ordinarily for an assarion, the tenth part of a Roman penny): these little birds fall not when they are shot, without the notice of him who is your heavenly Father, and he will much more regard even your bodies, for you are... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:32-33

As this is a time for you publicly to own me, so there will be a time (in the day of judgment) for me to confess and publicly own you, before the angels of God (which Luke addeth to this sentence, Matthew 12:8): as men deal with me in this life, so I shall deal with them in that day. Our Saviour speaketh much the same thing, as repeated by Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; only there instead of whosoever shall deny me, it is, whosoever shall be ashamed of me and my words. Christ requireth of us not only a... 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

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 10:1-20

Matthew 10:1-20 Jesus giving His Power to His Followers. Note: I. The work Christ's followers were to do. They were to do the mysterious work which the Master had done, and to preach as both He and John had preached. They were sent forth to do and to serve, but were done by and served as they went. Having been entrusted with the responsibility of a great message, and furnished with a power which was the envy and amazement of all, there ought to be an elevation of their consciousness into some... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:23

Matthew 10:23 We have here a precept, and a reason for it. Both are difficult. The precept is unusual, and the reason ambiguous. I. The precept is a precept of prudence. It says, There is a great work before you a work which requires workmen. The labourers are few at the best, and they must not be made fewer by wanton self-sacrifices. Think of the work, think of the object, think of souls, think of the Saviour; think of these more than of yourselves. Martyrdom itself may be a sublime... 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
