Matthew 10:41
He that receiveth a prophet—one divinely commissioned to deliver a message from heaven. Predicting future events was no necessary part of a prophet's office, especially as the word is used in the New Testament.
in the name of a prophet—for his office's sake and love to his master. (See II Kings 4:9 and see on II Kings 4:10).
shall receive a prophet's reward—What an encouragement to those who are not prophets! (See John 3:5-8).
and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man—from sympathy with his character and esteem for himself as such
shall receive a righteous man's reward—for he must himself have the seed of righteousness who has any real sympathy with it and complacency in him who possesses it.
