Matthew 10:7-8

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Matthew 10:5-10

2. The Mission, the Message, and the promised Support. Matthew 10:5-105These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles,12 and into any [a] city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,13 cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 10:5-15

Missionaries Sent out Matthew 10:5-15 For the present, the Twelve were to confine themselves to Jews, because the Lord’s ministry was the climax of the Jewish probation and it was desirable that every opportunity should be given to the lost sheep of the house of Israel to repent. God can never be unmindful of any covenant into which He has entered with the soul. If we believe not, He remaineth faithful. May we not say that our Lord was the first medical missionary? He has taught us that the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

As a result of this, the King calls, equips, and sends forth His disciples. No work can be done to extend His Kingdom that is not the direct outcome of His compassion. To men in communion with that compassion He first says, "Pray," and then, "Go." This is the perpetual order of the messengers and missionaries of His Kingdom-Compassion, Prayer, Service. These men are to proclaim the Kingdom, and to accompany the proclamation with signs. The measure of their service is to be the measure of... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Matthew 10:1-24

Sending out the Twelve Matthew 10:1-24 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The Scripture for this study opens with the statement, "And when He had called unto Him His twelve disciples." We want to speak of the facts that lie hidden away in these words. 1. The Lord needs special men for special tasks. Somehow or other we believe just what is written: "And to every man his work." God does not say, Anybody and everybody rush out and get busy: He says, to this one, Do this; and that one, Do that. Everybody's... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-8

The Selection And Sending Out of The Apostles (9:35-10:8). While the speech is clearly one whole, it is also divided up into smaller sections each of which forms a chiasmus. In this the first smaller section the Apostles are commissioned, given authority and named in the light of the needs of lost sheep of the house of Israel. This smaller section can be analysed as follows; a Jesus goes throughout their towns preaching the Good News of the Kingly Rule of Heaven and (as the Servant - Matthew... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:1-42

Jesus Appoints and Sends Out The Twelve To Proclaim The Kingly Rule of Heaven With Admonitions, Warnings And Final Promises (9:35-11:1). In this section Jesus appoints and sends out His twelve Apostles. His purpose for them is that they might proclaim the Kingly Rule of Heaven, and reveal its presence on earth by the signs and miracles that will result as they evangelise (Matthew 10:1; Matthew 10:7-8). But He is full aware that their message will only be accepted by the minority as He has made... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:7

“And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingly Rule of Heaven is at hand’.” And as they go out the twelve are to preach ‘The Kingly Rule of Heaven is at hand’. But while the words are the same, this is not the same message as that of John. For John was looking ahead to a Kingly Rule that was about to break in, but was still in the future, a Kingly Rule that would arrive in the coming of the Coming One for Whom he was preparing the way. But these are proclaiming that the Coming One is now here, and... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:8

“Heal sick people, raise dead people, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.” And the evidence that the Kingly Rule of Heaven is here is found not only in the establishing of His renewed Law (Matthew 10:5-7), but in the establishing of the well-being of His people and the casting out of the foes of the Kingly Rule (Matthew 4:23; Matthew 9:35; Matthew 11:5). Thus His followers are themselves also to fulfil the Messianic signs (Matthew 11:5; compare chapters 8-9). Just... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 10:5-42

Matthew 10:5-Luke : . The Charge to the Twelve.— The section forms the second of five passages into which Mt. col lected the sayings of Jesus. The Markan account ( Matthew 6:7-1 Kings :) is followed by Luke 9:1-Deuteronomy :, but Luke 10:2-Joshua : (the Seventy) is from Q; Matthew 10:5-Nehemiah : combines the two sources. The mission is limited to Jews, hardly, in view of Matthew 10:6, Matthew 10:23, to the Jews of Galilee. Luke 10 omits the limitation; he wrote mainly for Gentiles. Indeed,... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 10:7-8

In these words he gives them power, 1. To preach the gospel. 2. To confirm the doctrine they preached to be of God by miraculous operations, healing the sick, cleansing lepers, raising the dead, casting out devils. He bids them go preach, Khrussete, Cry like heralds; something like Isaiah’s commission, Isaiah 58:1, Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet. He teacheth them what should be the sum of their sermons, The kingdom of heaven is at hand; the same thing which John Baptist... read more
