Commentaries on Matthew 10:5
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded - To be properly qualified for a minister of Christ, a man must be, filled with the spirit of holiness; called to this particular work; instructed in its nature, etc.; and, commissioned to go forth, and testify the Gospel of the grace of God.

It was proper that it should be first preached to the Jews, the ancient covenant people of God, and the people among whom the Messiah was born.

Jews saw Samaritans as impure Jews (Luke 17:18) because they married gentiles during and after the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles (2 Kings 17:24–41). The tension between Jews and Samaritans grew worse in 128 BC when John Hyrcanus, a Jewish…Read the comment
