Matthew 10:7

Matthew 10:7

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Parallel passages: (the twelve); (the seventy; observe that the substance of the proclamation was to be the same). And as ye go. For your journey is not to one place, but many. Preach.

Aloud and publicly. Saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. That which men had so long been desiring (vide ; ) was now near. But had it not come (; )?

Not in full realization. But its near realization was then a possibility, and was only not brought about because, as a nation, they rejected him who introduced it.
