Context of Matthew 10:24
22And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved. 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household! 26Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

Commentaries on Matthew 10:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24The disciple is not above his master - Or in plainer terms, A scholar is not above his teacher. The saying itself requires no comment, its truth and reasonableness are self-evident, but to the spirit and design we should carefully attend. Jesus is the great teacher: we profess to be his scholars. He who keeps the above saying in his heart will never complain of what he suffers. How many irregular thoughts and affections is this maxim capable of…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 24The disciple is not above his master - That is, you must expect the same treatment which I have received.

See 2 Kings 1:2. The word literally means “the god of flies,” so called because this idol was supposed to…Read the comment

Thus Christ has dealt fairly…Read the comment
