1 And (1) (*) he called his twelve disciples unto him, and
gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out,
and to heal every sickness, and every disease.
(1) The Apostles are sent to preach the Gospel in Israel.
(*) Mark 3:13-15; Luke 9:1-2 .
2 Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these. The
(a) first is Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
(a) Theophylact saith that Peter and Andrew are called the
first, because they were first called.
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the
Publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus whose
surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon (*) the Canaanite, and Judas (b) Iscariot, who also
betrayed him.
(*) Or, the zealous.
(b) A man of Kerioth. Now Kerioth was in the tribe of Judah;
Joshua 15:25 .
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them,
saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the cities
of the Samaritans enter ye not;
6 But go rather (*) to the () lost sheep of the house of Israel.
(*) Acts 13:46 .
() For the kingdom of God must first be preached unto them,
because Christ was especially promised unto them.
7 (*) (2) And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven
is at hand.
(*) Luke 10:9-11 .
(2) The sum of the gospel, or preaching of the Apostles.
8 (3) Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise up the dead, cast
out the devils. Freely ye have received, (*) freely give.
(3) Miracles are dependencies of the word.
(*) He commandeth them to offer themselves freely to the
Lord's work, without respect of gain or lucre.
9 (*) (4) () Possess (c) not (()) gold, nor silver, nor money in
your ((())) girdles.
(*) Mark 6:8-9; Luke 9:3; Luke 22:35 .
(4) The ministers of the word must cast away all cares that
might hinder them the least wise that might be.
() Or, provide not for.
(c) For this journey, to wit, both that nothing might hinder
them, and also that they might feel some taste of God's
providence; for at their return back, the Lord asketh of them,
whether they lacked anything by the way,
Luke 22:35 .
(()) Because he sendeth them not for a long time, but only for
one journey, he defendeth the things that might let them;
neither is this a perpetual commandment.
((())) Or, purses.
10 Nor a scrip for the journey, neither two coats, neither
shoes, nor a staff; (*) for the workman is worthy of his
(d) meat.
(*) 1 Timothy 5:15 .
(d) God will provide you with meat.
11 (5) And into (*) whatsoever city or town ye shall come,
enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence.
(5) Happy are they that receive the preaching of the Gospel;
and unhappy are they, that refuse it.
(*) Luke 10:8 .
12 And when ye come into a house, salute the same.
13 And if the house be worthy, let your (e) peace come upon
it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
(e) It is a manner of speech taken from the Hebrews, whereby
they meant all kind of happiness.
14 (*) And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when ye depart out of that house, or that city,
() (()) shake off the dust of your feet.
(*) Mark 6:11; Luke 9:5 .
() Acts 13:51; Acts 18:6 .
(()) To signify that their land is polluted, and that you consent
not to their wickedness.
15 Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for them of the land
of (*) Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for
that city.
(*) Who were not so lively taught, and advertised.
16 ¶ (*) (6) Behold, I send you as (f) sheep in the midst of
wolves; be ye therefore wise as serpents, and (g) () (()) innocent
as doves.
(*) Luke 10:3 .
(6) Christ sheweth how the ministers must behave themselves
under the cross.
(f) You shall be in great dangers.
(g) You shall not so much as revenge an injury; and by the
mixing of these beasts' natures together, he will not have our
wisdom to be malicious, nor our simplicity mad, but a certain
form of good nature as exquisitely framed of both them, as
may be.
() Or, simple.
(()) Not revenging wrong, much less doing wrong.
17 But beware of (h) men, for they will deliver you up to the
Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues.
(h) For in the cause of religion men are wolves one to another.
18 And ye shall be brought to the Governors and Kings for
my sake, in (*) witness to them, and to the Gentiles.
(*) To take from them all pretence of ignorance, and to make
them inexcusable.
19 (*) But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or
what ye shall speak; for it shall be given you in that hour, what
ye shall say.
(*) Mark 13:11; Luke 12:11 .
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you.
21 And the (*) brother shall betray the brother to death, and
the father the son, and the children shall rise against their parents,
and shall cause them to die.
(*) Luke 21:16 .
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my Name; (*) but he
that endureth to the end, he shall be saved.
(*) Mark 13:13 .
23 And when they persecute you in this city, flee (*) into
another; for verily I say unto you, ye shall not finish (i) going
over all the cities of Israel, till the () Son of man be come.
(*) To profit and do good, and not be idle.
(i) Bring to an end, that is, you shall not have gone through all
the cities of Israel, and preached in them.
(()) And will comfort you and give manifest evidence of his
presence; and he speaketh not of their first sending, but of the
whole time of their Apostleship.
24 (*) The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant
above his lord.
(*) Luke 6:40; John 13:16; John 15:20 .
25 It is enough for the disciple to be as his master is, and the
servant as his lord. (*) If they have called the master of the
house (k) () Beelzebub, how much more them of his
household?
(*) Matthew 12:24 .
(k) It was the idol of the Acronites, which we call the god of
flies.
() It was the name of an idol which signified the god of flies,
and in despite thereof was attributed to the devil;
read 2 Kings 1:2,
and the wicked called Christ by this name.
26 (l) Fear them not therefore, (*) for there is nothing
covered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be
known.
(l) Truth shall not always be hid.
(*) Mark 4:22; Luke 8:17; Luke 12:2 .
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light; and what
ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the (m) (*) houses.
(m) Openly, and in the highest places. For the tops of their
houses were so made, that they might walk upon them,
Acts 10:9 .
(*) Which in those countries are so made that men may walk
upon them.
28 And (n) fear ye not them which kill the body, but are not
able to kill the soul; but rather fear him, which is able to destroy
both soul and body in hell.
(n) Though tyrants be never so raging and cruel, yet we may
not fear them.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a (o) farthing, and one of
them shall not fall on the ground without your Father?
(o) The fourth part of an ounce.
30 (*) Yea, and all the hairs of your head are numbered.
(*) 1 Samuel 14:45; 2 Samuel 14:11; Acts 27:34 .
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.
32 (7) (*) Whosoever therefore shall () confess me before
men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
(7) The necessity and reward of open confessing Christ.
(*) Mark 8:38; Luke 9:26; Luke 12:8; 2 Timothy 2:12 .
() And acknowledge me his only Saviour.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also
deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 (*) (8) Think not that I am come to send peace into the
earth; I came not to send () peace, but the sword.
(*) Luke 12:51 .
(8) Civil dissentions follow the preaching of the Gospel.
() He giveth us inward peace in our consciences, but
outwardly we must have war with wicked worldlings.
35 For I am come to set a man at (*) variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter
in law against her mother in law.
(*) Which thing cometh not of the property of Christ, but
proceedeth of the malice of men, which love not the light,
but darkness, and are offended with the word of salvation.
36 (*) And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household.
(*) Micah 7:6 .
37 (*) (9) He that loveth father or mother more than me, is
not worthy of me. And he that loveth son, or daughter more
than me, is not worthy of me.
(*) Luke 14:26 .
(9) Nothing without exception is to be preferred before our
duty to God.
38 (*) And he that taketh not his cross, and () followeth
after me, is not worthy of me.
(*) Matthew 16:24; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23; Luke 14:27 .
() Also they that invent any other way to honor God, than
that he hath prescribed by his word, follow not Christ, but go
before him.
39 (*) He that will find (p) his () life, shall lose it; and he that
loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.
(*) John 14:25 .
(p) They are said to find their life, which deliver it out of
danger; and this is spoken after the opinion of the people
which think them clean lost that die, because they think not
of the life to come.
() He that doth prefer his life before my glory.
40 (10) He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that
receiveth me, receiveth him that hath sent me.
(10) God is both author and revenger of his holy ministry.
41 (*) (11) He that receiveth a () Prophet in (q) the name
of a Prophet, shall receive a Prophet's reward; and he that
receiveth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man,
shall receive the reward of a righteous man.
(*) Luke 10:16; John 13:20 .
(11) We shall lose nothing that we bestow upon Christ.
() We must reverence Christ in his servants, and receive
them, and honor them for their office sake.
(q) As a Prophet.
42 (*) And whosoever shall give unto one of these (r) little
ones to drink a cup of cold water only, in the name of a
disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
(*) Mark 9:41 .
(r) Which in the sight of the world are vile and abject.
