Matthew 10:24

22 And ^ayou will be hated by all for My name’s sake. ^bBut he who endures to the end will be saved.

23 ^aWhen they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have ^bgone through the cities of Israel ^cbefore the Son of Man comes.

24 ^a“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If ^athey have called the master of the house¹ Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household!

26 Therefore do not fear them. ^aFor there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

Jesus Teaches the Fear of God

27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, ^aspeak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops.

Matthew 10:24

The 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 restraining! A man is not a scholar of Christ unless he learn his doctrine; and he does not learn it as he ought unless he put it in practice.
