He bends a listening ear for the telegraphic communication from Washington, and whatever words he hears those he utters, no matter how they may be received, no matter what the people or the crown may think. He stands an American in the midst of English society; he thinks the thoughts and has the feelings of the Government at Washington; he dares to say words however unpleasant to the English crown because the power that sustains him, though it is invisible, he knows to be real. Well, now, so is it with a man, principally the true minister of Christ. For instance, he goes into a community where all are infidel or all are heathen. What the sentiment of the populace is he asks not; what the people will think of him for uttering his words he cares not, but he bends his ear and listens for words from the throne, and when God says: Speak in the hearing of the people, he speaks the words that are given to him and stands unmoved. He may behold the rack, the stake, the torch, and the fagots kindling about it, and the wild beasts, but his thoughts and conversation are in heaven; he stands unmoved, and he is looking at the unseen.

He that despiseth you, despiseth me<\/B><\/I>] “The holy, blessed God said: ‘Honour my statutes, for they are my ambassadors: and a man’s ambassador is like to himself. If thou honour my precepts, it is the same as if thou didst honour me; and if thou despise them, thou despisest me.” R.

This is said for the encouragement of the seventy disciples, that though they would be rejected by some, they would be received by others, who would hear them, and embrace their doctrine, as if the Messiah himself had been among them; they looking upon them as representing him: and so Christ himself considers them as ambassadors in his name, and as representing his person, taking what is done to them, as done to himself; [See comments on Mt 10:40]<\/span><\/p>\n and he that despiseth you, despiseth me<\/strong>: every degree of contempt cast upon them by words or actions, Christ looked upon as cast on himself, and will resent it another day, and punish for it. The despising of wise men, or doctors, and their disciples or scholars, was accounted with the Jews a very heinous crime, and was severely punished both by excommunication and fines: for thus it is said h,<\/p>\n “a great iniquity it is to despise the wise men, or to hate them. Jerusalem was not destroyed until the disciples of the wise men were despised in it, as it is said, 2Ch 36:16<\/span> “but they mocked the messengers of God, and despised his words, and misused his prophets”: as if he should say, they despised those that taught his words: and thus saith the law, “if ye despise my statutes”; they that teach my statutes ye will despise; and every one that despiseth the wise men, hath no part in the world to come; and lo! this is included in that general rule, “for he hath despised the word of the Lord”. Although he that despiseth the wise men hath no part in the world to come, if witnesses come (and depose) that he hath despised them even in words, he is guilty of excommunication: and the sanhedrim excommunicate him publicly, and fine him a pound of gold in every place, and give it to the wise men: and he that despiseth a wise man by words, even after his (the wise man’s) death, the sanhedrim excommunicate him; and they free him when he returns by repentance: but if the wise man is alive, they do not free him till he pleases.”<\/p>\n And he that despiseth me, despiseth him that sent me<\/strong>: this is said to aggravate the sin of the despisers of Christ’s ministers, and to deter from it; since the contempt does not terminate in them, nor even in Christ, but reaches his Father also. The Ethiopic version adds, “and he that heareth me, heareth him that sent me”: but is not supported by any copy, or any other version.<\/p>\n h Maimon. Hilch.

The fate of Chorazin, Bethsaida, Capernaum will befall those who set aside (<\/SPAN><\/span> privative and <\/SPAN><\/span>, from <\/SPAN><\/span>) the mission and message of these messengers of Christ. See this verb used in 7:30<\/span> of the attitude of the scribes and Pharisees toward John and Jesus. It is this thought that makes it so grave a responsibility to be co-workers with Christ, high privilege as it is (Joh 9:4<\/span>). <\/P> <\/p>\n Despiseth [] <\/SPAN><\/span>.

He that heareth you heareth me. It is a mistake to suppose that this passage is a repetition of what we formerly met with in the Gospel of Mat 10:40<\/span> he that receiveth you receiveth me (47) Then, Christ was speaking of persons, but now, of doctrine. The former receiving had a reference to offices of kindness; but now he recommends faith, which receives God in his Word. The general meaning is, that the godliness of men is ascertained by the obedience of faith; (48) and that those who reject the Gospel, though they may boast of being the most eminent of the worshippers of God, give evidence that they wickedly despise him. <\/p>\n We must now attend to the design of Christ. As a considerable portion of the world foolishly estimates the Gospel according to the rank of men, and despises it because it is professed by persons of mean and despicable condition, our Lord here contradicts so perverse a judgment. Again, almost all are so proud, that they do not willingly submit to their equals, or to those whom they look down upon as inferior to them. God has determined, on the other hand, to govern his Church by the ministry of men, and indeed frequently selects the ministers of the Word from among the lowest dregs of the people. It was, therefore, necessary to support the majesty of the Gospel, that it might not appear to be degraded by proceeding from the lips of men. <\/p>\n This is a remarkable commendation (49) of the outward ministry, when Christ declares, that whatever honor and respect is rendered to the preaching of men, provided that the preaching be faithful, God acknowledges as done to Himself. In two points of view, this recommendation is useful. Nothing ought to be a stronger encouragement to us to embrace the doctrine of the Gospel, than to learn that this is the highest worship of God, and a sacrifice of the sweetest odor, to hear him speaking by human lips, and to yield subjection to his word, which is brought to us by men, in the same manner as if he were descending from heaven or making known his will to us by angels. Again, our confidence is established, and all doubt is removed, when we learn, that the testimony of our salvation, when delivered to us by men whom God has sent, is not less worthy of credit, than if His voice resounded from heaven. To deter us, on the other hand, from despising the Gospel, he adds a severe threatening: <\/p>\n He that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. Those who disdain to listen to ministers, however mean and contemptible they may be, offer an insult, not to men only, but to Christ himself, and to God the Father. While a magnificent eulogium is here pronounced on the rank of pastors, who honestly and faithfully discharge their office, it is absurd in the Pope and his clergy to take this as a pretense for cloaking their tyranny. Assuredly, Christ does not speak in such a manner, as to surrender into the hands of men the power which the Father has given him, but only to protect his Gospel against contempt. Hence it follows, that he does not transfer to the persons of men the honor which is due to himself, but only maintains that it cannot be separated from his Word. If the Pope wishes to be received, let him bring forward the doctrine by which he may be recognized as a minister of Christ; but so long as he continues to be what he now is, a mortal enemy of Christ, and destitute of all resemblance to the Apostles, let him cease to deck himself with borrowed feathers. <\/p>\n (47) Harmony, volume 1 p. 475. <\/p>\n (48) “ Que la crainte de Dieu qui est es hommes, se monstre par l’obeissance de la foy;” — “that the fear of God which is in men is manifested by the obedience of faith.” <\/p>\n (49) “ C’est donc une louange et recommendation singuliere;” — “it is then a singular praise and recommendation.” <\/p>\n (16) He that heareth you heareth me.<\/strong>See Note on Mat. 10:40<\/span>. Another fragment of our Lords teaching meets us under the same conditions as before.<\/p>\n “He who hears you, hears me; and he who rejects you rejects me; and he who rejects me, rejects him who sent me.”<\/p>\n Jesus then finishes off His condemnations by pointing out to His disciples that they are so much His representatives and one with Him that if people hear them it is as if they hear Him (compare Luk 9:48<\/span>). But if they reject them then it is as if they reject Him, and not only Him, but also the One Who sent Him. For the Father, the Son and the disciples are one in the work. For the idea of Jesus being ‘sent’ see Luk 4:18<\/span>; Luk 4:43<\/span>; Luk 9:48<\/span>. He had a deep sense of being sent by His Father. And they are a part of it. They too are ‘sent’. So they are very much part of God’s own planned outreach to the world, and intimately involved in it.<\/p>\n These disciples were thus to see themselves as ambassadors for Christ (2Co 5:20<\/span>) and, as such, citizens of Heaven (Php 3:20<\/span>). That is why their names are written in Heaven (Luk 10:20<\/span> below).<\/p>\n Luk 10:16<\/span> . Comp. Mat 10:40<\/span> ; Joh 13:20<\/span> ; Joh 12:48<\/span> .

To reject Jesus is to reject the Father (cf. 1Jn 5:10-12). It is extremely important that we realize the dignity which believers have as Christian witnesses (cf. Luk 9:48; Mat 10:40; Mar 9:37; Joh 13:20). The gospel is not our message, but God’s. People do not reject us, but Him.<\/p>\n despiseth = rejecteth.

On the same principle, that attitude also pertains to God since he sent Jesus into the world. To despise Jesus and God means to disrespect them or belittle their authority.<\/p>\n Luk 10:16. See on Mat 10:40. Here the connection of thought is: woes on the Galilean cities which had rejected our Lord, would fall on those also that would reject the Seventy. The verse states a principle of general validity, and forms a solemn conclusion.<\/p>\n Here our Saviour encourages his ministers to faithfulness in their office, by assuring them that he should reckon and esteem all the kindness shown to hem, as done unto himself: He that receiveth you, receiveth me; he that despiseth you, despiseth me. <\/p>\n Where note, that all the offices of love and respect, of kindness and charity, which we show to the ministers and members of Christ for his sake, Christ reckons it done unto himself.<\/p>\n Note farther, that the contempt of the message and messengers of the gospel runs much higher than men are aware of. They think it no great matter to slight or neglect the messengers of Christ; but verily that contempt flies in the face and authority of Christ himself, who gave them their commission: yea, in the very face of God the Father, who gave Christ his commission: and accordingly they are called God’s mouth, Jer 15:19. Their message and their mission being both from him.<\/p>\n Nay, farther, this sin strikes at our own souls, and we are injurious to them as well as unto Christ; he that despiseth you, despiseth me; yet certainly no age was ever deeper drenched in the guilt of this sin than the present age is.<\/p>\n Luk 10:16. He that heareth you Here our Lord declares the general rule which he would observe, with regard to those to whom he sent, or should send his ministers; that he would reckon himself treated as they treated his servants. Indeed, what is done to the ambassador is generally considered as done to the prince that sends him. 1st, He that heareth you, and regards what you say, heareth me, and therein doth me honour: but, 2d, He that despiseth you, doth, in effect, despise me, and shall be reckoned with as having put an affront upon me: nay, he despiseth him that sent me. Observe, reader, those that contemn the Christian religion, do, in effect, put a slight upon natural religion, of which it is perfective. And they who despise the faithful ministers of Christ, they who, though they do not hate and persecute them, yet think meanly of them, look on them with scorn, and neglect to attend their ministry, will be reckoned with as despisers of God and of Christ.<\/p>\n Jesus added further importance to their mission by explaining that acceptance or rejection of the Seventy amounted to acceptance or rejection of Himself and God the Father who had sent Jesus (cf. Mat 10:40; Mar 9:37). Jesus was authorizing these disciples to act for Him (cf. Joh 20:21).<\/p>\n Prayer walks have become popular in some parts of Christianity in recent years. This is the practice of praying as one walks around a town, usually, asking God to bring salvation to its people. Undoubtedly the Seventy prayed as they conducted their mission trip, but they also preached. Jesus did not tell them just to pray for God to make the people responsive but also to preach the gospel to them. Neither did He tell them simply to go out and do good works. Praying for the lost and preaching to the lost should go hand in hand whenever possible.<\/p>\n This ends Jesus’ briefing of the Seventy for their unique mission. Luke recorded nothing about the mission itself. His concern was Jesus’ instructions and their applicability to his readers in view of their mission (Act 1:8).<\/p>\n He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me. 16. despiseth) Literally, “setting at nought.” For comment on the verse see 1Th 4:8; Mat 18:5; Joh 12:44.
