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.  

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.  
28 aAnd do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather bfear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in1 hell.

Matthew 10:23

Till the Son of man be come (ewv elqh o uiov tou anqrwpou). Moffatt puts it "before the Son of man arrives" as if Jesus referred to this special tour of Galilee. Jesus could overtake them. Possibly so, but it is by no means clear. Some refer it to the Transfiguration, others to the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, others to the Second Coming. Some hold that Matthew has put the saying in the wrong context. Others bluntly say that Jesus was mistaken, a very serious charge to make in his instructions to these preachers. The use of ewv with aorist subjunctive for a future event is a good Greek idiom.
