Matthew 10:10 NIV

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

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

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

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 10:2-15

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

The external conditions of conveying Christ ' s message , with special reference to the immediate occasion. Our Lord points out (a) the sphere of their work ( Matthew 10:5 , Matthew 10:6 ); (b) the substance of their message ( Matthew 10:7 ); (c) its accompanying signs ( Matthew 10:8 ); (d) the external means and methods that they should employ ( Matthew 10:9-15 ). read more

The Lord's charge to his apostles. I. DIRECTIONS FOR THEIR IMMEDIATE MISSION . 1 . It leas to be confined to the house of Israel. This was a temporary limitation; it was wholly removed at the ascension. The Lord himself entered into the city of the Samaritans; lie healed the daughter of the Syro-Phoenician woman. But for the present the apostles were to preach only to the Jews; it was necessary that the gospel should be first offered unto them; they were the covenant... read more

Parallel passages: Mark 6:8 ; Luke 9:3 (the twelve); Luke 10:4 (the seventy); cf. also our Lord's reference in Luke 22:35 to the mission of the twelve. Provide ; get you . There is no connotation of foresight in the word itself, but only of acquisition. Observe that the apostles are not forbidden to take what they already have. Lightfoot, 'Hor. Hebr.,'shows that travellers ordinarily took with them a staff, a purse, shoes, a wallet, and sometimes a book of the Law. Neither gold,... read more

For the workman ; labourer (Revised Version); thus connecting the utterance closely with Matthew 9:37 , Matthew 9:38 . Is worthy of his meat . The disciples may therefore expect that it will be provided for them by those to whom they minister ( Luke 10:7 , of the seventy), and indirectly by the Master whom they serve ( Matthew 9:38 ). Meat ; food (Revised Version). In all but most highly organized systems of society, this is an important (frequently the most important) part... read more
