马太福音 10:4 CUNPSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 10:1-4

Here we are told, I. Who they were that Christ ordained to be his apostles or ambassadors; they were his disciples, Matt. 10:1. He had called them some time before to be disciples, his immediate followers and constant attendants, and he then told them that they should be made fishers of men, which promise he now performed. Note, Christ commonly confers honours and graces by degrees; the light of both, like that of the morning, shines more and more. All this while Christ had kept these twelve,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 10:1-4

10:1-4 And when he had summoned his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they were able to cast them out, and so that they were able to heal every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first and foremost Simon, who is called Peter. and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 10:1-4

When we put together the three accounts of the calling of the Twelve ( Matthew 10:1-4 ; Mark 3:13-19 ; Luke 6:13-16 ) certain illuminating facts emerge. (i) He chose them. Luke 6:13 says that Jesus called his disciples, and chose from them twelve. It is as if Jesus' eyes moved over the crowds who followed him, and the smaller band who stayed with him when the crowds had departed, and as if all the time he was searching for the men to whom he could commit his work. As it has been... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:4

Simon - He was third son of Alpheus, and brother of James and Jude, or Judas, Matthew 13:55 . The Canaanite - This word is not put here to signify a particular people, as it is elsewhere used in the Sacred Writings; but it is formed from the Hebrew קנא kana , which signifies zealous, literally translated by Luke, Luke 6:15 , ζηλωτης , zelotes , or the zealous, probably from his great fervency in preaching the Gospel of his Master. But see Luke 6:15 . Judas Iscariot - ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:1-4

The mission of the twelve. I. THE CALL . 1 . The number , lie called unto him his twelve disciples. He had many more. He called these twelve. There seems to be a symbolical meaning in the number. We see plainly in the Book of the Revelation that twelve is the number of the Church. Three is the signature of God; four of the world; twelve, the product of three and four, points to God as entering into relations with the world, making a covenant with the Church which he hath called... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:1-42

The "commanding" of the twelve. This was a grand historic occasion indeed. The honoured but ever-comparatively feeble and now dimmed, dying, or dead schools of the prophets are to be succeeded by a scion of Christianity that marks at one and the same time its noblest and most amazing human institution, and Heaven's most condescending gift and human trust. Now begins "the great company of preachers" of the New Testament. They began with twelve;. they very soon grew to seventy; and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:2-4

THE NAMES OF THE AGENTS . Parallel passages: Mark 3:14-19 ; Luke 6:13-16 (cf. Acts 1:13 ). This Commentary upon St. Luke deals so fully both with the list as a whole and with the separate names that it will not be necessary to say much here. Observe that the general agreement in arrangement points to some common basis underlying all four accounts; also that of these the one found in the Acts is the briefest, giving little more than the bare names; and that that found in our... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:2-4

Representative Christian characters. No doubt the number twelve was chosen by our Lord because twelve had been the number of the tribes of Israel. Very possibly a critical estimate of those two sets of twelve would bring to view this very interesting fact—the heads of the twelve tribes represent the different types of ordinary humanity, they classify human character; and the twelve apostles represent the different types of Christianized humanity, or of human character as influenced by... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:2-15

Christ's charge to his apostles. After a night spent in prayer, Jesus called his twelve disciples and constituted them into an apostolic college. With his commission he gave them his charge. Notice— I. THE PERSONS COMMISSIONED AND CHARGED . 1 . They were twelve in number. 2 . Their names are given in order. II. THE CHARGE . 1 . As to the apostles preaching. (a) Not to the Gentiles. (b) Not to the Samaritans. (c) They were to limit their... read more
