Verses 5-42

§ 57. CHARGE TO THE APOSTLES, Matthew 10:5-42 .

The unity of this discourse demonstrates the oneness of its delivery, a point disputed by Olshausen and others. It consists properly of three parts. The first (Matthew 10:5-15) directs their demeanour during this present trial mission. The second (Matthew 10:16-23) predicts their trials and persecutions through their whole apostolate. The third (Matthew 10:24-42) states the duty of suffering, the struggle to ensue, and the results, namely, the reward and penalty of the acceptance or rejection of their Gospel. The discourse, therefore, is complete and symmetrical. There is not a sentence or a word inappropriate to the occasion.
