马太福音 10:39

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 10:37-39

Jesus taught that people must love one another, but they must love Him more. This is a remarkable claim that shows how important Jesus’ viewed the supreme allegiance of His disciples. Taking one’s cross does not mean tolerating some unpleasant situation in one’s life for Jesus’ sake. It means dying to self, namely, putting Jesus first. In this sense every disciple bears the same cross. Jesus’ reference to crucifixion, His first in Matthew, would have helped His disciples realize that their... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

Mission of the Twelve1. Mission of the Twelve (Mark 6:7; Luke 9:1). This mission was intended partly to prepare the way for visits from Jesus Himself, and partly to train the apostles for their future ministry. He sent them out ’two and two’ (Mk), for the sake of mutual encouragement. That is the true method of undertaking missionary work, as the experience of St. Paul shows. The apostles were to preach a little, but not much, since they were beginners. They were to prepare the way for Jesus,... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Matthew 10:39

(39) He that findeth his life.—The word is the same as that translated “soul” (i.e., that by which man lives in the lower or the higher sense of life) in Matthew 10:28. The point of the maxim lies in the contrast between the two senses. To gain the lower now is to lose the higher hereafter, and conversely, to lose the lower for the sake of Christ (i.e., to die a martyr’s death in confessing Him) is to gain the higher. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Matthew 10:1-42

List of the Apostles Matthew 10:2-4 I. There are several pairs of brothers: Peter and Andrew; James and John; Judas and James. This points to (1) the need of companionship in Christian work, as solace, and as a curb to excessive individualism. (2) The allowableness of special friendships among Christian workers. (3) That Christianity is more beautiful when the natural bonds of love and kindred are sanctified. It is meant to heighten these and they to provide channels for its operation. (4) But... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:1-42

Chapter 9The King’s Ambassadors - Matthew 9:36-38; Matthew 10:1-42I - THE MISSION. {Matthew 9:36-38 - Matthew 10:1-5}So far the King Himself has done all the work of the kingdom. But it has grown upon Him, so that He can no longer do it without assistance; He must therefore provide Himself with deputies. His doing so will be the first step in the organisation of His world-wide kingdom. He reveals, however, no plan laid down to meet all possible emergencies. It is enough to provide for... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Matthew 10:39

10:39 He that {p} findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.(p) They are said to find their life, who deliver it out of danger: and this is spoken against the opinion of the people, who think those that die are certainly lost, because they think not of the life to come. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

When He instructs us to pray, He fully intends to answer such prayer, as we see now in His sending forth His twelve disciples. It is precious to see Him exercising authority to communicate authority to them over evil spirits, sickness and disease; for He is far more than God's servant: He is Lord. In fact, He sends forth the very servants whom He had instructed to pray that He would send labourers into His harvest. The names are given here in groups of two. Simon Peter is called "the first"'... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:1-42

EXPANSION AND OPPOSITION The King has come, the code of His Kingdom is set forth, His credentials presented, and He now expands the testimony concerning Himself, with the result of increasing opposition. This expansion is connected with the commission of the twelve disciples (chap. 10), and the opposition is revealed in various ways in the chapters following. THE DISCIPLES COMMISSIONED (Matthew 10:0 ) Here we find “apostles” for the first time (Matthew 10:2 ), which means “those sent... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 10:1-42

Chapter 45 Prayer Almighty God, do thou now come to us, and, according to the necessity of our heart, grant thy blessing unto us every one. We are often weary and often are we disquieted by reason of the length and hardness of the road of life; but thou hast provided for us all that we need as we pass from mile to mile of the dreary sand. We look up unto thee with a look that is meant to be a cry, a prayer, an expectation, and we wait upon thee with a patience that is as sacred and dear as a... read more
