Mateo 10:1-8 RVA

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

These twelve Jesus sent forth ,.... And no other but them, under the character of apostles. These had been with him a considerable time, to whom he had been gradually communicating spiritual knowledge; and by the benefit of private conference with him, and the observation they had made upon his doctrine and conduct, were greatly qualified for public usefulness: wherefore he gives them a commission, furnishes them with power and authority; and sends them forth from him by pairs, that they... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:6

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. To whom he himself was sent, Matthew 15:24 . By "the house of Israel" is meant the whole Jewish nation; for though this phrase, when distinguished from the house of Judah, designs only the ten tribes; yet here it intends all the Jews, then living in the land of Judea, among whom there were some of all the tribes: and by "the lost sheep" of this house, are meant either all the people of the Jews in general, who were wandering, and were... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:7

And as ye go ,.... Through the cities of Judea, and the streets thereof, from one city to another, from place to place; for these were itinerant preachers, who were not to abide long in any place, but to move about, that the Gospel might be spread all over the land, and the lost sheep in every corner be sought out and found. Preach, saying, the kingdom of heaven is at hand . This was to be the subject matter of their ministry, which they were to proclaim aloud in every place; and which... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 10:8

Heal the sick ,.... For so he had given them power to do, and this both for the confirmation of their doctrine, and the recommendation of them to men; for nothing could more evidently prove their mission to be divine, and their doctrine from heaven, or be more acceptable to men, than to "heal" their "sick" friends and relations, who were given up by physicians, and incurable by the art of man; and to do this without the use of medicines, either by a word speaking, or by laying on of their... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1

Twelve disciples - Our Lord seems to have had the twelve patriarchs, heads of the congregation of Israel, in view, in his choosing twelve disciples. That he had the plan of the ancient Jewish Church in his eye is sufficiently evident from Matthew 19:28 ; and from Luke 10:1 ; Luke 22:30 ; John 17:1 , etc., and Revelation 21:12-14 . He gave them power against unclean spirits - The word κατα , against, which our translators have supplied in Italic, is found in many MSS. of good... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:2

Apostles - This is the first place where the word is used. ΑποϚολος , an apostle, comes from αποϚελλω , I send a message. The word was anciently used to signify a person commissioned by a king to negotiate any affair between him and any other power or people. Hence αποϚολοι and κηρυκες , apostles and heralds, are of the same import in Herodotus. See the remarks at the end of chap. 3. It is worthy of notice, that those who were Christ's apostles were first his disciples; to... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:3

Bartholomew - Many are of opinion that this was Nathanael, mentioned John 1:46 , whose name was probably Nathanael bar Talmai, Nathanael, the son of Talmai: here, his own name is repressed, and he is called Bar Talmai, or Bartholomew, from his father. Matthew the publican - The writer of this history. See the preface. James the son of Alpheus - This person was also called Cleopas, or Clopas, Luke 24:18 ; John 19:25 . He had married Mary, sister to the blessed Virgin, John... 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

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:5

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded - To be properly qualified for a minister of Christ, a man must be, filled with the spirit of holiness; called to this particular work; instructed in its nature, etc.; and, commissioned to go forth, and testify the Gospel of the grace of God. These are four different gifts which a man must receive from God by Christ Jesus. To these let him add all the human qualifications he can possibly attain; as in his arduous work he will require... read more
