John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:3

Philip and Bartholomew ,.... The first of these was called next; his name is a Greek one, which his parents, though Jews, might take from the Greeks that dwelt among them, see John 12:20 mention is made of one R. Phelipi, and Phulipa, in the Jewish writings F17 Massechet Sopherim, c. 21. sect. 7. Bereshit Rabba, sect. 71. fol. 63. 4. . The latter of these, Bartholomew, is conjectured, by Dr. Lightfoot, to be the same with Nathanael, he being called next in order after Philip; and... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:4

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot ,.... This is the last couple, for they are all mentioned by pairs, because they were sent forth "by two and two", as the Evangelist Mark says, Mark 6:7 . The former of these is called Simon the Canaanite, to distinguish him from Simon Peter, before mentioned; not that he was a Canaanite, that is, an inhabitant of the land of Canaan, a man of Canaan, as a certain woman is called a woman of Canaan, Matthew 15:22 for all the disciples of Christ were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:5

These twelve Jesus sent forth ,.... And no other but them, under the character of apostles. These had been with him a considerable time, to whom he had been gradually communicating spiritual knowledge; and by the benefit of private conference with him, and the observation they had made upon his doctrine and conduct, were greatly qualified for public usefulness: wherefore he gives them a commission, furnishes them with power and authority; and sends them forth from him by pairs, that they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:6

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. To whom he himself was sent, Matthew 15:24 . By "the house of Israel" is meant the whole Jewish nation; for though this phrase, when distinguished from the house of Judah, designs only the ten tribes; yet here it intends all the Jews, then living in the land of Judea, among whom there were some of all the tribes: and by "the lost sheep" of this house, are meant either all the people of the Jews in general, who were wandering, and were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:7

And as ye go ,.... Through the cities of Judea, and the streets thereof, from one city to another, from place to place; for these were itinerant preachers, who were not to abide long in any place, but to move about, that the Gospel might be spread all over the land, and the lost sheep in every corner be sought out and found. Preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand . This was to be the subject matter of their ministry, which they were to proclaim aloud in every place; and which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:8

Heal the sick ,.... For so he had given them power to do, and this both for the confirmation of their doctrine, and the recommendation of them to men; for nothing could more evidently prove their mission to be divine, and their doctrine from heaven, or be more acceptable to men, than to "heal" their "sick" friends and relations, who were given up by physicians, and incurable by the art of man; and to do this without the use of medicines, either by a word speaking, or by laying on of their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:9

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass ,.... That is, not any sort of "money", as both Mark and Luke express it: for money was then coined, as now, of these three sorts of metals, and which include all kind of money; so that they were not to provide, get, prepare, or take along with them for their journey, as not gold, nor silver, or any parcel of this sort of money, which might be of considerable importance, and lasting consequence to them; so neither brass money, as, halfpence, and... read more

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

Nor scrip for your journey ,.... This the Jews call תרמיל , "tarmil": and which their commentators F14 Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Sheviith, c. 2. sect. 8. & in Celim. c. 16. 4. & 24. 11. & Negaim. c. 11. sect. 11. say, is a large leathern bag, in which shepherds and travellers put their food, and other things, and carried with them, hanging it about their necks; so that the disciples were neither to carry money with them, nor any provisions for their journey: ... 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
