Notes

Matthew 10:21–22

  • Jewish people often connected family conflict with the end times (see Matthew 24:9–10). Jesus himself went through such conflict (12:46–50).

  • The one who perseveres to the end means those who stay loyal to Jesus, even to death or until he returns (10:23).

  • will be saved: Some interpret this as being freed from persecution, like release from prison. But here it refers to eternal salvation for those who stay faithful.

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.
