Notes

Matthew 10:19–20

Just as God gave Moses a spokesman in Aaron (Exodus 4:10–17), God would also give Jesus disciples the right words at the right time through the Spirit (John 14:26; Acts 4:8).

Matthew 9:35–11:1

Jesus expands his ministry (see Matthew 4:23–9:34) by sending his disciples to other people in Israel (10:5–6). The instructions Jesus gives his disciples (10:5–42) emphasizes missionary work and the opposition and challenges they will encounter.
