Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:7

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.The kingdom would soon be set up. Mark 9:1 reveals that Christ promised it to be done during the lives of some of the apostles; but, since both the Master and the traitor were to die before the kingdom was set up (on the first Pentecost after the resurrection of Christ), Mark's words of record present a precisely technical accuracy: "There are SOME here, of them that stand by, who shall in no wise taste of death, till they see the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:8

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons; freely ye received, freely give.There is no suggestion here that Judas was in any manner excluded from the power and ability conveyed by this commission, if Judas was, even at this hour, a servant of Satan, it would lend color to the charge of the Pharisees that Jesus cast out demons by the prince of demons. Of course, no such thing occurred. Therefore, this is proof that at the time of the commissioning of the Twelve, Judas... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:9

Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses.Considering the countless miracles of the most astounding nature that these men were then empowered to perform, this admonition partook of that wisdom from God himself. Covetousness is a sin that eventually claimed Judas, and seeds of it are in all people. If the apostles had been free to take money, they would have returned rich in silver and gold, but poor in those virtues Christ came to establish. read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:10

No wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.The mission of the Twelve was totally spiritual. Christ took temptations out of their way by forbidding them even to take a wallet! Barefooted, without staff, and with only one coat, they went forth as the embodiment of the Lord's premise, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."The laborer is worthy of his food ... is the Saviour's first utterance of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:11

And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth.Among the Israelites, there were many, perhaps, in that day, like aged Simeon, who were looking for "the consolation of Israel"; and it was into such homes that the apostles were to go. The prohibition on going from house to house was strongly in their best interests and would prevent their being caught up in a round of dinners, entertainment, and social activities, which,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:12

And as ye enter into the house, salute it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.Not the house, but the family were to be saluted. The Emphatic Diaglott gives the place thus, "When you enter the house, salute the family." This conveys the idea that the apostles were to pronounce a benediction or blessing upon the homes they entered, or at least to make some expression of good will on behalf of every member of the home into... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:14

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.The Jewish rabbis taught that the dust of heathen cities defiled, and the symbolical action of shaking off the dust of the feet indicated that any person or city rejecting the apostles' words was no better than the heathen. Paul and Barnabas, on their first missionary journey, were rejected by the Jews and certain women of honorable estate, "But they shook off... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:5

Matthew 10:5. Go not into the way, &c.— It may seem strange that our Lord neither preached himself to the Gentiles in general, nor allowed his disciples to preach among them, during his own lifetime; especially when it is evident that he came into the world on purpose to destroy the polytheism of the heathens, their idol mediators, and their idolatrous worship, and to establish the knowledge of the true and triune God, and of the only Mediator between God and man, and of the right method of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:6

Matthew 10:6. But go rather to the lost sheep, &c.— See what has been said concerning the metaphors of sheep and harvest, in the note on Matthew 10:1. With respect to the first, it should be remembered, that in the note on ch. Mat 3:7 it was observed, that men, as animals, have each of them a peculiar resemblance to some particular species of other animals; which we exemplified in the term lamb, sheep, wolves, dogs, &c. We now farther add, that those appellations are upon no account to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:7

Matthew 10:7. Preach, saying, &c.— The original word is Κηρυσσετε, which is derived from κηρυξ a herald, and signifies "proclaim, with that ardour and zeal which becomes my heralds." Probably they were to make this proclamation with a loud voice, as they passed through the streets of the towns which they visited, as Jonah declared his message to Nineveh. See Jon 3:4 and Doddridge. read more
