Matthew 10:2 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Matthew 10:2

The Twelve Apostles

1 And ^awhen He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, ^awho is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

4 ^aSimon the¹ Cananite, and Judas ^bIscariot, who also betrayed Him.

Sending Out the Twelve

5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: ^a“Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of ^bthe Samaritans.

6 ^aBut go rather to the ^blost sheep of the house of Israel.

7 ^aAnd as you go, preach, saying, ^b‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

Matthew 10:2

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these—The other Evangelists enumerate the twelve in immediate connection with their appointment (Mark 3:13-19; Luke 6:13-16). But our Evangelist, not intending to record the appointment, but only the Mission of the Twelve, gives their names here. And as in the Acts (Acts 1:13) we have a list of the Eleven who met daily in the upper room with the other disciples after their Master's ascension until the day of Pentecost, we have four catalogues in all for comparison.

The first, Simon, who is called Peter—(See on John 1:42).

and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother—named after James, as the younger of the two.
