The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:24-42

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:26-33

Parallel passage: Luke 12:2-9 , where it follows the warning against the leaven of the Pharisees. A similar saying to Luke 12:26 (parallel passage: Luke 12:2 ) is also found in Mark 4:22 (parallel passage: Luke 8:17 ). Though the two sayings are probably distinct, yet it is very possible that one may have been modified from the other in being reported. Fear them not therefore . These words are in Matthew only. Therefore. Since the Master bore such treatment. For . Hardly—Fear... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:32

Whosoever; every one … who (Revised Version); Matthew 7:24 , note. Therefore.

Though the exact phrase is doubt less due to Hebrew influence,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:32

He that knows Christ will confess him. In these days there are many among us who are, at heart, disciples of the Lord Jesus, but who shrink from confessing him before men. Their character and conduct have been long watched by those about them, and the signs of Divine change and renewal have been recognized. And vet they remain but "secret disciples." Like one who is introduced to us by St. John, who chose the quiet night hour, when the city hum was stilled, and only a stray traveller passed... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 10:33

Besides the parallel passage, Luke 12:9 , cf. the similar thought in Mark 8:38 (parallel passages: Luke 9:26 ; Matthew 16:27 ). But whosoever shall deny me before men . Kubel compares St. Peter's words, "I know not the man" ( Matthew 26:74 ). Him will I also deny. The emphasis is on "deny" (cf. 2 Timothy 2:12 ; Ign., 'Smyrn.,' § 5). Before my Father which is in heaven. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:32-33

Whosoever therefore shall confess me ... - The same word in the original is translated “confess” and “profess,” 1 Timothy 6:12-13; 2 John 1:7; Romans 10:10. It means to acknowledge the Lord Jesus Christ, and our dependence on him for salvation, and our attachment to him, in every proper manner. This profession may be made in uniting with a church, at the communion, in conversation, and in conduct. The Scriptures mean, by a profession of religion, an exhibition of it in every circumstance of the... 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
