Matthew 10:11 NLT

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:9-15

See also Mark 6:8-11, and Luke 9:3-5. In both these places the substance of this account is given, though not so particularly as in Matthew. The general subject is the instructions given to the apostles.Matthew 10:9Provide neither gold nor silver, nor brass - This prohibition of gold, silver, and brass is designed to prevent their providing money for their journey.Pieces of money of “small value” were made of brass.In your purses - Literally, in your girdles (belts). See the notes at Matthew... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 10:11-13

Matthew 10:11-13. Into whatsoever city, &c., ye shall enter, inquire who is worthy That you should abide with him, that is, who is of a good character, and disposed to receive the gospel. And there abide In that house, till ye leave the town. It is of much consequence that a preacher of the gospel should not endanger his reputation, by taking up his lodging in a disreputable family, or by removing from one family to another, out of regard to some little matter of domestic convenience... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:5-42

62. The twelve sent out (Matthew 10:5-42; Mark 6:7-13; Luke 9:1-6)Jesus sent out the twelve apostles to preach the good news that the kingdom of the Messiah had come. The miraculous powers of the Messiah were given to them also, so that the knowledge of his love and mercy might spread more quickly throughout the land (Luke 9:1-2).There would be no time during Jesus’ lifetime to spread the gospel worldwide, so the apostles had to concentrate on Israel. After Jesus’ death and resurrection they... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 10:11

And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth.Among the Israelites, there were many, perhaps, in that day, like aged Simeon, who were looking for "the consolation of Israel"; and it was into such homes that the apostles were to go. The prohibition on going from house to house was strongly in their best interests and would prevent their being caught up in a round of dinners, entertainment, and social activities, which,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:11

Matthew 10:11. Inquire who in it is worthy— Anciently they had no houses of entertainment for the accommodation of travellers, but only houses for lodging them, called in modern language caravanseras, into which travellers brought their own provisions and accommodated themselves in the best manner they could; but it was common for persons of humane dispositions, such as our Lord here calls αξιοι, worthy persons, to entertain strangers according to their ability. See Judges 19:15; Judges 19:21. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 10:5-42

3. Jesus’ charge concerning His apostles’ mission 10:5-42Matthew proceeded to record Jesus’ second major discourse in his Gospel: the Mission Discourse. It contains the instructions Jesus gave the 12 Apostles before He sent them out to proclaim the nearness of the messianic kingdom. Kingsbury saw the theme of this speech as "the mission of the disciples to Israel" and outlined it as follows: (I) On Being Sent to the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel (Matthew 10:5-15); (II) On Responding to... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 10:11-15

They were to stay with "worthy" hosts, not necessarily in the most convenient or luxurious accommodations. A worthy person would be one who welcomed a representative of Jesus and the kingdom message. He or she would be the opposite of the "dogs" and "pigs" Jesus earlier told His disciples to avoid (Matthew 7:6). By this time there were probably people in most Galilean villages who had been in the crowds and had observed Jesus. His sympathizers would have been the most willing hosts for His... read more
