The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:22

And ye shall be hated . For no little time ( ἔσεσθε μισούμενοι ) . "Suffering sometimes becomes as a reward for doing. You read of the heifers which brought home the ark out of the Philistines' country, that, when they brought the ark home, the Israelites took the heifers and offered them up to God, as a sacrifice ( 1 Samuel 6:14 ). 'Why so?'saith one. 'It is an ill requital to the heifers.' No; the heifers could not have so high an honour put upon them ( Philippians 1:29 ; ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:22

Ye shall be hated of all men - That is, of all kinds of people. The human heart would be opposed to them, because it is opposed to Christ.But he that endureth to the end ... - That is, to the end of life, be it longer or shorter. He that bears all these unspeakable sufferings, and who does not shrink and apostatize, will give decisive evidence of attachment to me, and shall enter into heaven. See Revelation 3:21-22. 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 10:22

And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shalt be saved.The diabolical hatred that was vented against the Twelve still exists. In the Jefferson Room of the Library of Congress, Washington, D.C., one may see in PRAVDA and ISVESTIA caricatures and slanders of every kind against Christ and the apostles. There was a report in PRAVDA of a farmer who named his asses after the Twelve and called a sow "The Virgin Mary"!He that endureth to the end... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:22

Matthew 10:22. Ye shall be hated of all men— They who believed the testimony of the apostles, as multitudes did, could not but ardently love them, astheir fathers in Christ. See Galatians 4:15. This, therefore, is plainly one of those many scriptures, in which the universal term all is to be taken with great restrictions. Compare John 12:32.Philippians 2:21; Philippians 2:21. There is a peculiar emphasis in the words for my name's sake in this place. The apostles and first Christians set... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:22

22. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake—The universality of this hatred would make it evident to them, that since it would not be owing to any temporary excitement, local virulence, or personal prejudice, on the part of their enemies, so no amount of discretion on their part, consistent with entire fidelity to the truth, would avail to stifle that enmity—though it might soften its violence, and in some cases avert the outward manifestations of it. but he that endureth to the end... 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

The perils of their mission 10:16-25Jesus proceeded to elaborate on the dangers the apostles would face and how they should deal with them.In His descriptions of the opposition His disciples would experience, Jesus looked beyond His death to the time of tribulation that would follow. Then the disciples would have the same message and the same power as they did when He sent them out here. The narrow road leading to the kingdom led through a period of tribulation and persecution for the... read more
