MattC10-8
Commentary
Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
Freely ye have received, freely give - That is, they were not
to sell their favors of healing, preaching, etc. They were not to make a
money-making business of it, to bargain specifically to heal for so much, and
to cast out devils for so much. This, however, neither then nor afterward
precluded them from receiving a competent support. See Luke 10:7; 1 Corinthians 9:8-14; 1 Timothy 5:18. FOR MORE

implies that they were to expect a proper supply for their needs from those who
were benefited. They were not to make "bargain and sale" of the power
of working miracles, but they were to expect competent support from preaching
the gospel, and that not merely as a gift, but because they were
"worthy" of it, and had a right to it.

Some
verses to consider
(Matthew
(1 Corinthians 9:11) If
we have sown spiritual things to YOU, is it something great if we shall reap
things for the flesh from YOU?
(1 Corinthians 9:14) In
this way, too, the Lord ordained for those proclaiming the good news to live by
means of the good news.
(1 Timothy 5:18) For
the scripture says: You must not muzzle a bull when it threshes out the
grain; also: The workman is worthy of his wages.
The workman is worthy of his meat - This

[8-11] The Twelve have received
their own call and mission through God's gift, and the benefits they confer are
likewise to be given freely. They are not to take with them money, provisions,
or unnecessary clothing; their lodging and food will be provided by those who receive
them.
[13] The greeting of
peace is conceived of not merely as a salutation but as an effective word. If
it finds no worthy recipient, it will return to the speaker.
[14] Shake the dust from your
feet: this gesture indicates a complete disassociation from such unbelievers.
Verse 8 Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse
lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without cost you are
to give.
9 Do
not take gold or silver or copper for your belts;
10 no
sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The
laborer deserves his keep.
11 Whatever
town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until
you leave.
12 As
you enter a house, wish it peace.
13 If the house is worthy, let your peace
come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you. 6
