The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 10:19-20

Counsel against anxiety: v. 19. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. v. 20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. Since such persecutions, such trials, will come, since that fact is established, make your preparations accordingly, put your heart and mind in a condition which will enable you to stand the ordeal. Anxious, worrying thoughts argue... read more

Steadfast under Persecution Matthew 10:16-23 The way of the servants and heralds of Christ will never be easy. From the first, it has been lined with jagged flints. On the one hand, they are assailed by the rulers and potentates of this world; and on the other, by the members of their own homes. See Acts 4:25 . But all these experiences are permitted in order to secure an entrance for their message into the most unlikely places, 2 Timothy 4:17 . The fact of the disciples being driven from... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

As a result of this, the King calls, equips, and sends forth His disciples. No work can be done to extend His Kingdom that is not the direct outcome of His compassion. To men in communion with that compassion He first says, "Pray," and then, "Go." This is the perpetual order of the messengers and missionaries of His Kingdom-Compassion, Prayer, Service. These men are to proclaim the Kingdom, and to accompany the proclamation with signs. The measure of their service is to be the measure of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 10:1-24

Sending out the Twelve Matthew 10:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Scripture for this study opens with the statement, "And when He had called unto Him His twelve disciples." We want to speak of the facts that lie hidden away in these words. 1. The Lord needs special men for special tasks. Somehow or other we believe just what is written: "And to every man his work." God does not say, Anybody and everybody rush out and get busy: He says, to this one, Do this; and that one, Do that. Everybody's... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

Jesus Appoints and Sends Out The Twelve To Proclaim The Kingly Rule of Heaven With Admonitions, Warnings And Final Promises (9:35-11:1). In this section Jesus appoints and sends out His twelve Apostles. His purpose for them is that they might proclaim the Kingly Rule of Heaven, and reveal its presence on earth by the signs and miracles that will result as they evangelise (Matthew 10:1; Matthew 10:7-8). But He is full aware that their message will only be accepted by the minority as He has made... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:16-23

The Dangers That They Will Face In The Future. Having declared the positive side of what their experiences will be Jesus now turns to the problems that they will face. For while they go trusting their heavenly Father for His provision, and as representatives of the Coming One, they must not thereby think that they will be immune from men’s hatred. For just as John’s teaching, and His own teaching, have produced hatred in men, so will theirs. They must therefore expect the worst. They will find... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:19-20

“But when they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you shall speak, for it will be given you in that hour what you shall speak, for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.” And when these dreadful experiences did happen they were not to be afraid and anxious. Nor should they be afraid as to what defence they should put up. Rather they are to recognise that in that very hour God will give them the words to speak (‘it will be given you’ - the divine... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:5-42

Matthew 10:5-Luke : . The Charge to the Twelve.— The section forms the second of five passages into which Mt. col lected the sayings of Jesus. The Markan account ( Matthew 6:7-1 Kings :) is followed by Luke 9:1-Deuteronomy :, but Luke 10:2-Joshua : (the Seventy) is from Q; Matthew 10:5-Nehemiah : combines the two sources. The mission is limited to Jews, hardly, in view of Matthew 10:6, Matthew 10:23, to the Jews of Galilee. Luke 10 omits the limitation; he wrote mainly for Gentiles. Indeed,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:11-23

Matthew 10:11-Isaiah : . The apostles are to put up at the houses of the “ worthy,” i.e. such as are ready to welcome them and their message. The house in Matthew 10:13 is perhaps best understood of that at which they make the inquiry; the “ peace” or salutation is thought of as an objective blessing settling upon the worthy household, but otherwise returning to the speakers in full measure for future use. Or that city ( Matthew 10:14) is the confusing addition of some copyist. So is... read more
