Matthew 10:25 WEB

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 10:24-25

10:24-25 "The scholar is not above his teacher, nor is the slave above his master. It is enough for the scholar that he should be as his teacher, and the servant that he should be as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzeboul, how much more shall they so call the members of his household." It is Jesus' warning to his disciples that they must expect what happened to him to happen to them. The Jews well knew this sentence: "It is enough for the slave to be as his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:25

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master ,.... A disciple should think himself very well off, be entirely satisfied, yea, abundantly thankful, if he meets with no worse treatment than his master; if he has the same honour done him his master has, this is more than could be expected by him; and if he has the same ill usage with his master, he need not wonder at it, but should solace himself with this consideration, that it is no other, nor worse than his master had before him:... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:25

It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master - Can any man who pretends to be a scholar or disciple of Jesus Christ, expect to be treated well by the world? Will not the world love its own, and them only? Why, then, so much impatience under sufferings, such an excessive sense of injuries, such delicacy? Can you expect any thing from the world better than you receive? If you want the honor that comes from it, abandon Jesus Christ, and it will again receive you into its bosom. But... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:25

Verse 25 25.If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub This is equivalent to calling himself Lord of the Church, as the apostle, when comparing him to Moses and the prophets, (Hebrews 3:1,) says, that they were servants, but that he is the Son and heir. Though he bestows on them the honor of calling them brethren, (Hebrews 2:11,) yet he is the first-born (Romans 8:29) and head of the whole church; and, in short, he possesses supreme government and power. Nothing, therefore, can be... 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 10:24-25

Matthew only; but comp. John 13:16 and John 15:18-21 ; the latter passage is a commentary. In Luke 6:40 there is close verbal similarity, but the thought is completely different. For there our Lord means that a disciple shall not escape the moral loss that his teacher incurs; on the contrary, when fully instructed, he shall be as his teacher is, in the same evil state. But here he is giving encouragement—whatever treatment a disciple receives he is, if his Teacher received it also, not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:24-33

Fellowship with me in suffering is essential to fellowship with me in glory. (a) You must not expect better treatment than your Master ( Matthew 10:21 , Matthew 10:25 ). (b) But opponents are not to be feared ( Matthew 10:26-28 ), because ( α ) they are powerless to really injure ( Matthew 10:26-28 ); ( β ) there is a greater Object of fear ( Matthew 10:28 ). ( γ ) Who cares minutely for all his creatures, and much more for you ( Matthew 10:29-31 ). read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:24-33

Fearless witnessing. The Christian is Christ's witness. He has to testify for Christ of his Person, offices, and work. He has to testify for the salvation of the believer; to the condemnation of the rejecter. To the rejecter the testimony is unpalatable and rouses resentment. This is often fierce and deadly. To face this resentment requires courage. In the text the witness has the encouragement, viz.— I. THAT THE POWER OF THE WICKED IS LIMITED . 1 . They have the... read more

General rules for all the Lord's disciples. I. THE CONFLICT . 1 . They must be patient , looking unto Jesus. He is our Example, our Master, our Lord. He is in all things above us immeasurably and beyond comparison—in his Divine power and majesty, in his transcendent holiness, in his perfect love. "He was despised and rejected of men." His people must expect the like. We are his disciples, his servants. The great aim of our life should be to be like him; to draw nearer and... read more
