マタイの福音書 10:3 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:3

Bartholomew . Nathanael ( John 1:45 , equivalent to Theodore ) was so common a name (cf. Numbers 1:8 ; 1 Chronicles 2:14 ; 1 Chronicles 15:24 ; 1 Chronicles 26:4 ; 2 Chronicles 17:7 ; 2 Chronicles 35:9 ; Ezra 10:22 ; Nehemiah 12:21 , Nehemiah 12:36 ), that for further identification a patronymic ("son of Tolmai," Ptolemy) was used, which in this case, superseded the proper name. Thomas . "As Thomas ( δίδυμος ), ' the Twin,' is properly a surname, and this... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:3

Philip and Bartholomew - These two were probably sent out together. Philip was a native of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. He is not the same as Philip the evangelist, mentioned in Acts 6:5; Acts 21:8. Bartholomew (literally, “the son of Tolmai”).Thomas - Literally, “a twin,” in reference to which he is also called “Didymus,” John 11:16. For his character, see the notes at John 20:25. “And Matthew the publican.” See the notes at Matthew 9:9. “James the son of Alpheus.” See the note... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 10:2-4

Matthew 10:2-4. The first, Simon The first who was called to a constant attendance on Christ: although Andrew had seen him before Simon, John 1:41. James the son of Zebedee The fisherman, and John his brother The beloved disciple; who were also called at the same time with the two former, as they were fishing at the sea of Galilee, Mark 1:19. The word Ιακωβος , which we translate James, is the same name with that of the patriarch; but immemorial custom has appropriated, in our... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:1-4

36. Jesus chooses the twelve apostles (Matthew 9:35-10:4; Mark 3:7-19; Luke 6:12-19)The more Jesus’ work grew, the more people came seeking him; and the more deeply saddened he became as he saw the confused and helpless spiritual condition of the Jewish people. There were plenty of opportunities for worthwhile work but there were few workers, and Jesus asked his followers to pray that God would supply the right workers to meet the need (Matthew 9:35-38; Mark 3:7-12).So urgent was the need that... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:3

3. Philip and Bartholomew—That this person is the same with "Nathanael of Cana in Galilee" is justly concluded for the three following reasons: First, because Bartholomew is not so properly an individual's name as a family surname; next, because not only in this list, but in Mark's and Luke's (Mark 3:18; Luke 6:14), he follows the name of "Philip," who was the instrument of bringing Nathanael first to Jesus (Luke 6:14- :); and again, when our Lord, after His resurrection, appeared at the Sea of... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 10:2-4

The 12 special disciples now received the title "apostles." This noun, apostolos in Greek, comes from the verb apostello meaning "to send." This was not a technical term until Jesus made it such. It continued to refer generally to people sent out with the Christian message such as Barnabas (Acts 14:4; Acts 14:14; Romans 16:7; 1 Corinthians 12:28-29; 2 Corinthians 8:23; Philippians 2:25). It referred to any messenger (John 13:16) and even to Jesus (Hebrews 3:1). Paul became an apostle who... 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

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
