Matthew 10:1 The Call and Charge to the Apostles SUMMARY OF MATTHEW 10: The Twelve Apostles. The Charge. To Whom Sent. How to Go. What to Preach. How to Act If Received or Rejected. Persecution. Prudence Required. Trials to Be Met. Need Have No Care for a Defense. Fear Not Men, but God. The Father's Care. Not Peace, but a Sword. Loving Christ More Than Father or Mother. No Kind Act Lost. He had called unto [him] his twelve disciples. Compare Mark 3:13-19 Lu 9:1-6. The twelve had already been called, and had attended the Lord for some time. They were now commissioned and sent forth as apostles. This must be connected directly with the last three verses of the preceding chapter, which should belong to Chapter 10. He gave them power. To do the same kind of works of mercy which Jesus had done, and thus to carry out his mission. Works of mercy and love are inseparable from the true preaching of the gospel.
