Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 10:19-20

5. Care about their Defence. Matthew 10:19-2019But when they deliver you up,23 take no [anxious]24 thought how or what ye shall speak: for25 it shall be given you in that same hour [in that hour] what ye shall speak. 20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALMatthew 10:19. How or what.—The form and the substance; πῶςἥ τί.—We might have expected that the latter would have been first mentioned; but, in planning an address, the first... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 10:21-22

6. Severity of the impending Persecution, to the extent of breaking the bonds of Natural Relationship. Greatness of the Persecution, its measure, and glorious end. Matthew 10:21-2221And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child:27 and the children shall rise up against their parents,28 and cause them to be put to death. 22And ye shall be hated of [by] all men29 for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALMatthew... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 10:23

7. Flight in Persecution, the means of spreading Christianity. First warning and comfort. Matthew 10:2323But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another [the other, εἰς τὴν ἅλλην]:31 for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come [shall have come].EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALMatthew 10:23. For verily, ἀμὴνγάρ.—The γάρ here is of the greatest importance. The flight of an Apostle from a city where general persecution had arisen,... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 10:24-25

8. Christ has suffered Persecution before His disciples, and they only suffer along with Him. Second warning and comfort. Matthew 10:24-2524The [A] disciple is not above his [the] master, nor the [a] servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called [surnamed]32 the master of the house Beelzebub [Beelzebul],33 how much more shall they call34 them of his household?EXEGETICAL AND CRITICALMatthew 10:24. The disciple... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 10:26-31

9. Holy boldness and candor the duty of the disciples, based on holy watchfulness, and on confidence in their safety, under the sovereign protection of God. Third and fourth warning and comfort. Matthew 10:26-31.26Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered [concealed, verhüllt], that shall not be revealed [enthüllt]; and hid [versteckt], that shall not be known [entdeckt]. 27What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in [the, τῷ] light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 10:26-31

Matthew THE WIDENED MISSION, ITS PERILS AND DEFENCES Mat_10:16-31 . We have already had two instances of Matthew’s way of bringing together sayings and incidents of a like kind without regard to their original connection. The Sermon on the Mount and the series of miracles in Mat_8:1 - Mat_8:34 and Mat_9:1 - Mat_9:38 are groups, the elements of which are for the most part found disconnected in Mark and Luke. This charge to the twelve in Mat_10:1 - Mat_10:42 seems to present a third instance,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 10:1-4

Planning the Harvest Matthew 9:35-38 ; Matthew 10:1-4 A new chapter in our Lord’s ministry opens at this point. As He walked amid the crowded towns and villages of Galilee, His heart was deeply moved. His was the shepherd’s nature, which, ever forgetful of self, expends its all for the flock. Jesus loved the poor people tenderly-those vast multitudes were a scattered, harassed flock. Fainted has the meaning of being cast panting on the ground. It was as though they could not move another... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 10:5-15

Missionaries Sent out Matthew 10:5-15 For the present, the Twelve were to confine themselves to Jews, because the Lord’s ministry was the climax of the Jewish probation and it was desirable that every opportunity should be given to the lost sheep of the house of Israel to repent. God can never be unmindful of any covenant into which He has entered with the soul. If we believe not, He remaineth faithful. May we not say that our Lord was the first medical missionary? He has taught us that the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 10:16-23

Steadfast under Persecution Matthew 10:16-23 The way of the servants and heralds of Christ will never be easy. From the first, it has been lined with jagged flints. On the one hand, they are assailed by the rulers and potentates of this world; and on the other, by the members of their own homes. See Acts 4:25 . But all these experiences are permitted in order to secure an entrance for their message into the most unlikely places, 2 Timothy 4:17 . The fact of the disciples being driven from... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 10:24-33

Fearless Confessors of Christ Matthew 10:24-33 The more Christlike we are, the more certainly shall we incur the dislike and hatred of men. Only let us take care that they hate us, not on account of our personal peculiarities and pretensions, but solely for the truth’s sake. See 1 Kings 22:8 ; Daniel 6:5 . Christ is often speaking. In the secret chamber of the heart, in the darkness of the night, in the shadowed room of pain and sorrow, in the room which holds all that is mortal of our... read more
