Notes
God accepts those who publicly acknowledge Jesus in times of trial and persecution (Matthew 10:16–25). These verses describe a person’s overall way of life, not just a single confession or denial (see 7:13–27). For example, Judas sometimes acknowledged Jesus but was still condemned (26:23–24). Peter denied Jesus (see 26:69–75), but he was restored and saved.
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.
