Matthew 10:17-25 What to say about levels of persecution
1. Matthew 10:17-25 What to say about levels of persecution
2. Matthew 10:17-18 Persecution
Matthew 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; [kjv]
10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. [kjv]
These verses appear to indicate that this discourse is carefully worded to apply to all time and not just this particular mission or to just the House of Israel.
The Greek word for "council" can be a play on words with "together three" as in the "three" parts of Satan, also represented as "gold", "silver" and "copper".
The Greek word for "synagogue" can be a play on words with "going together on the earth".
3. Matthew 10:19-20 Say what
Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. [kjv]
10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. [kjv]
The business JIT (Just In Time) idea allows actions and speaking to be taken when needed instead of the business JIC (Just In Case) idea whereby one is never really ready until the "last" "farthing" has been paid, which will never happen. This is not a Biblical excuse for pastors to not prepare sermons.
4. Matthew 10:17
Matthew 10:17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; [kjv]
5. Matthew 10:17
KJV: But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
Greek: προσεχετε δε απο των ανθρωπων παραδωσουσιν γαρ υμας εις συνεδρια και εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων μαστιγωσουσιν υμας
6. Matthew 10:18
Matthew 10:18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. [kjv]
7. Matthew 10:18
KJV: And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
Greek: και επι ηγεμονας δε και βασιλεις αχθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εις μαρτυριον αυτοις και τοις εθνεσιν
8. Matthew 10:19
Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. [kjv]
9. Matthew 10:19
KJV: But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
Greek: οταν δε παραδιδωσιν παραδωσιν υμας μη μεριμνησητε πως η τι λαλησητε δοθησεται γαρ υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τι λαλησετε λαλησητε
10. Matthew 10:20
Matthew 10:20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. [kjv]
11. Matthew 10:20
KJV: For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
Greek: ου γαρ υμεις εστε οι λαλουντες αλλα το πνευμα του πατρος υμων το λαλουν εν υμιν
12. Matthew 10:21-22 Persecution
Matthew 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. [kjv]
10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. [kjv]
The "
delivering" up of one another is reminiscent of the
Olivet Discourse about the
End Times in Matthew 24.
These verses appear to describe how the (people of the) "
world" has treated the Jews in general since then. The same has been true, to a lesser extent, for Christians.
13. Matthew 10:21
Matthew 10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. [kjv]
14. Matthew 10:21
KJV: And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Greek: παραδωσει δε αδελφος αδελφον εις θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεις και θανατωσουσιν αυτους
15. Matthew 10:22
Matthew 10:22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. [kjv]
16. Matthew 10:22
KJV: And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
Greek: και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
17. Matthew 10:23 Flee persecution
Matthew 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. [kjv]
The "
flee" to "
another" is reminiscent of the "
cities" of "
refuge" in the
OT (Old Testament).
18. Matthew 10:23
KJV: But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
Greek: οταν δε διωκωσιν υμας εν τη πολει ταυτη φευγετε εις την αλλην ετεραν αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν ου μη τελεσητε τας πολεις του του ισραηλ εως αν ελθη ο υιος του ανθρωπου
19. Matthew 10:24-25 Beelzebub projection
Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. [kjv]
10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? [kjv]
One would want to be "
above" the "
master" or "
lord" in order to be "
great".
The psychological idea of
projection is that of accusing others of doing or thinking what you are doing or thinking.
Here, given the
projection of the religious establishment, Jesus associates the religious establishment with Beelzebub, Satan, etc.
20. Matthew 10:24
Matthew 10:24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. [kjv]
21. Matthew 10:24
KJV: The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
Greek: ουκ εστιν μαθητης υπερ τον διδασκαλον ουδε δουλος υπερ τον κυριον αυτου
22. Matthew 10:25
Matthew 10:25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household? [kjv]
23. Matthew 10:25
KJV: It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Greek: αρκετον τω μαθητη ινα γενηται ως ο διδασκαλος αυτου και ο δουλος ως ο κυριος αυτου ει τον οικοδεσποτην βεελζεβουλ εκαλεσαν βεεζεβουλ επεκαλεσαν ποσω μαλλον τους οικιακους αυτου
