Matthew 10:24-33

The Pulpit Commentary on Matthew 10:24-33

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

Fellowship with me in suffering is essential to fellowship with me in glory.

(a) You must not expect better treatment than your Master (, ).

(b) But opponents are not to be feared (), because

( α) they are powerless to really injure ();

( β) there is a greater Object of fear ().

( γ) Who cares minutely for all his creatures, and much more for you ().

,

Matthew only; but comp. and ; the latter passage is a commentary. In 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 to count it a strange thing ().
