Matthew 10:11-15 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 10:5-15

We have here the instructions that Christ gave to his disciples, when he gave them their commission. Whether this charge was given them in a continued discourse, or the several articles of it hinted to them at several times, is not material; in this he commanded them. Jacob's blessing his sons, is called his commanding them, and with these commands Christ commanded a blessing. Observe, I. The people to whom he sent them. These ambassadors are directed what places to go to. 1. Not to the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 10:11-15

10:11-15 "When you enter into any city or village, make inquiries as to who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out of it. When you come into a household, give your greetings to it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not receive you, and will not listen to your words, when you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust of it from your feet. This is the truth I tell you--it will be easier for... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:11

And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter ,.... As Christ had instructed them in what manner they were to travel, so he directs them where to go, and who to ask for, and take up their abode with, in the several towns and villages to which they should come; that as soon as they had entered any town or village, they should, in the first place, inquire, who in it is worthy ; not of them, as the Arabic version reads, nor of the Gospel they preached, or of the grace of God, of which no... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:12

And when ye come into an house ,.... Or the "house"; that is, the house of an hospitable man, when, upon inquiry, found out: salute it ; meaning the inhabitants of it; or, as the Persic version reads, those of the household, especially the master of the family. Some copies add, saying, peace be to this house, as in Luke 10:5 and so read the Vulgate Latin, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel; and is a very just, and proper explanation of saluting: for the usual form of salutation among the Jews... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:13

And if the house be worthy ,.... If the family, and particularly the master of it, appeared to be civil, courteous, friendly, and hospitable, upon such a salutation, and ready to receive and embrace them, and provide for them, let your peace come upon it, or it shall come upon it; the imperative for the future, which is not unusual; and so read the Syriac and Vulgate Latin. The sense is, the peace the apostles wished for, in their form of salutation, should come, and abide on the family;... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:14

And whosoever shall not receive you ,.... Into their houses, and refuse to entertain them and provide for them in a friendly manner; nor hear your words , slight their salutations, make no account of, but despise their good wishes for their welfare; and also treat with contempt the doctrines of the Gospel preached by them; and either would not attend on their ministry, or if they did, give no credit to what they should say, but deride and reject them. When ye depart out of that house,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:15

Verily, I say unto you ,.... This was not all the punishment that should be inflicted on such despisers of the Gospel of Christ, and the ministers of it; as not to enjoy that peace and prosperity wished for by the apostles, and to be declared to be on an equal foot with Heathen cities and countries: but they were to suffer everlasting punishment in the world to come; which is here asserted by Christ in the strongest manner, saying: it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:11

Into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter - In the commencement of Christianity, Christ and his preachers were all itinerant. Inquire who in it is worthy - That is, of a good character; for a preacher of the Gospel should be careful of his reputation, and lodge only with those who are of a regular life. There abide till ye go thence - Go not about from house to house, Luke 10:7 . Acting contrary to this precept has often brought a great disgrace on the Gospel of God. Stay in your... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:12

Salute it - Λεγουτες, ειρηνη εν τω οικω τουτω , saying, "Peace be to this house." This clause, which, as explanatory of the word ασπασασθε , is necessary to the connection in which it now stands, is added, by the MSS. D and L, and forty-three others, the Armenian, Ethiopic, Slavonic, Saxon, Vulgate, all the copies of the old Itala, Theophylact, and Hilary. The clause is also found in several modern versions. The modern Greek has λεγοντες· ειρηνη εις το σκηπρι τουτο . The Italian, by... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:13

If that house be worthy - If that family be proper for a preacher to lodge in, and the master be ready to embrace the message of salvation. Your peace - The blessings you have prayed for shall come upon the family: God will prosper them in their bodies, souls, and substance. But if it be not worthy - As above explained. Let your peace - The blessings prayed for, return to you. Προς υμας επιϚραφητω , it shall turn back upon yourselves. They shall get nothing, and you shall have... read more
