Matthew 10:23
Compare all
21 a“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.  
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.

Matthew 10:23

Matthew 10:23 Flee ye into another. They were not to rashly expose their lives where it would do no good, but go elsewhere and continue preaching. Life is a sacred possession, and must not be flung away. It may be given up for the sake of Christ. Till the Son of man be come. A reference primarily, no doubt, to the Lord coming into his kingdom. See Matthew 16:28. He was thus to come in the life time of some of the apostles. He did thus come in the establishment of his kingdom in power on the day of Pentecost. He also came in judgment on the Jews at the destruction of Jerusalem. This event ended Jewish persecution. There is also the final coming to judge the world, but the meaning here does not include that.
