馬太福音 10:9-11 CUNPTS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 10:5-15

We have here the instructions that Christ gave to his disciples, when he gave them their commission. Whether this charge was given them in a continued discourse, or the several articles of it hinted to them at several times, is not material; in this he commanded them. Jacob's blessing his sons, is called his commanding them, and with these commands Christ commanded a blessing. Observe, I. The people to whom he sent them. These ambassadors are directed what places to go to. 1. Not to the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 10:11-15

10:11-15 "When you enter into any city or village, make inquiries as to who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go out of it. When you come into a household, give your greetings to it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not receive you, and will not listen to your words, when you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust of it from your feet. This is the truth I tell you--it will be easier for... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:9

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, in your purses - Εις τας ξωνας υμων , in your Girdles. It is supposed that the people of the east carry their money in a fold of their girdles. This is scarcely correct: they carry it in a purse in their bosom, under their girdles. This I have often observed. In a thousand instances an apostolic preacher, who goes to the wilderness to seek the lost sheep, will be exposed to hunger and cold, and other inconveniences; he must therefore resign... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:10

Nor scrip for your journey - To carry provisions. This was called תורמיל tormil , by the rabbins; it was a leathern pouch hung about their necks, in which they put their victuals. This was properly, the shepherd's bag. Neither two coats, etc. - Nothing to encumber you. Nor yet staves - Ραβδον , a staff, as in the margin, but, instead of ραβδον , staff, which is the common reading, all the following MSS. and versions have ραβδους , staves, and CEFGKLMPS. V. ninety-three... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:11

Into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter - In the commencement of Christianity, Christ and his preachers were all itinerant. Inquire who in it is worthy - That is, of a good character; for a preacher of the Gospel should be careful of his reputation, and lodge only with those who are of a regular life. There abide till ye go thence - Go not about from house to house, Luke 10:7 . Acting contrary to this precept has often brought a great disgrace on the Gospel of God. Stay in your... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:9

Verse 9 Matthew 10:9.Do not provide. As the embassy (575) was of such a nature, that Christ wished the disciples to traverse the whole of Judea within a few days, and immediately to return to him, he forbids to carry luggage with them, by which this speed may be retarded. Some have ignorantly supposed that the rule here laid down for the ministers of the word, or for the apostles, is perpetual. We shall presently meet with a few sentences which have a more extensive reference: but the present... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:10

Verse 10 10.For the laborer is worthy of his food. Christ anticipates an objection that might be made: for it might appear to be a harsh condition to travel through the whole of Judea without any provisions. (576) Accordingly, Christ tells them, that they have no reason to dread that they will suffer hunger; because, wherever they come, they will at least be worthy of their food (577) He calls them laborers, not that they resembled ordinary ministers, who labor in the Lord’s vineyard, and who,... read more
