Context of Matthew 10:9
7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons: freely ye have received, freely give. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, 10Nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor staffs: for the workman is worthy of his food. 11And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go from there.

Commentaries on Matthew 10:9
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 9Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, in your purses - , in your Girdles. It is supposed that the people of the east carry their money in a fold of their girdles. This is scarcely correct: they carry it in a purse in their bosom, under their girdles. This I have often observed. In a thousand instances an apostolic preacher, who goes to the wilderness to seek the lost sheep, will be exposed to hunger and cold, and other inconveniences; he must…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 9-15Verses 9-15 See also Mark 6:8-11, and Luke 9:3-5. In both these places the substance of this account is given, though not so particularly as in Matthew.

Pieces of money of “small value” were made of brass. In your purses…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-15Verses 5-15 The Gentiles must not have the gospel brought them, till the Jews have refused it.

They preached, to establish the faith; the kingdom, to animate the hope; of heaven, to inspire the love of heavenly things, and the contempt of earthly; which is at hand, that men may prepare for it without delay. Christ gave…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 9-10Jesus' disciples should trust God to provide (6:11, 25–34; 7:7–11). They should avoid greed, which could harm God's reputation. They should also encourage new communities to provide what their leaders need (see 1 Corinthians 9:3–19).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 99. Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses--"for" your purses; literally, "your belts," in which they kept their money.Read the comment
