Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand--(See on Mat 3:2).
John Gill Bible Commentary
Heal the sick,.... For so he had given them power to do, and this both for the confirmation of their doctrine, and the recommendation of them to men; for nothing could more evidently prove their mission to be divine, and their doctrine from heaven, or be more acceptable to men, than to "heal" their "sick" friends and relations, who were given up by physicians, and incurable by the art of man; and to do this without the use of medicines, either by a word speaking, or by laying on of their hands, or by anointing with oil, joined with prayer; and particularly to cleanse the lepers, of which there were many in Israel, who otherwise could not get rid of that disorder, and by the law were deprived of many privileges, and advantages, which others enjoyed: and especially to raise the dead, which had never been done before the times of Christ, since the days of Elijah and Elisha; and which must be allowed by all men to be more than human, and to require the arm of almighty power: and lastly, to cast out devils, the sworn enemies of mankind, and who had taken possession of the bodies, as well as souls of multitudes in the Jewish nation; all which they are ordered to do, without taking any thing of the people, for so doing: freely ye have received, freely give; which refers both to the working of miracles, and preaching of the Gospel. As they had these miraculous gifts freely imparted to them by Christ, they had them not of themselves, nor did they procure them at any charge, or expense of their's, or purchase them with their money, as Simon Magus impiously proposed to the apostles; so they were freely to make use of these wonderful powers, they were possessed of, for the relief of the distressed, without insisting upon, or receiving any thing for the same; a practice which was formerly disapproved and condemned in Gehazi, the servant of Elisha: and with respect to the Gospel, as the knowledge of it was freely communicated to them by Christ, and gifts qualifying them for the preaching of it, were of his mere grace and goodness bestowed upon them, so they were to dispense it without making a gain of godliness, or discovering in the least an avaricious disposition. Our Lord seems to have respect to a rule frequently inculcated by the Jews concerning teaching their oral law (g); which is this; "in the place where they teach the written law for a reward, it is lawful to teach it for a reward; but it is forbidden to teach the oral law for a reward, as it is said, "behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the Lord my God commanded me", &c. Deu 4:5. As I have "freely" learned, and ye have also "freely" learnt of me; so when ye learn posterity, , "teach them freely, as ye have learnt of me".'' Now what the Jews say of their traditions, Christ applies to the Gospel: in dispensing of which he would not have his disciples come behind them; but as they had freely received the Gospel from his lips; so they would as freely, as well as faithfully, make it known to others; and which no ways contradicts the maintenance of the Gospel ministers by the people; only forbids amassing wealth and riches by it, or preaching for sordid gain, or filthy lucre's sake: for otherwise it is Christ's own ordinance, that the preachers of the Gospel should live by it; and which is confirmed in the following verses. (g) Maimon. Talmud Tora, c. 1. sect. 7. T. Bab. Nedarim, fol. 36. 2. & 37. 1. & Becorat, fol. 29. 1. Maimon. & Bartenora in Misn. Nedarim, c. 4. sect. 3. & in Pirke Abot. c. 4. sect. 5.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
10:7-8 By doing these things in the name and authority of Jesus, the apostles demonstrated Jesus’ status as Messiah (see 11:2-6).

Christ Is All - in Scripture

The Claims of Christ Are Paramount
By John Murray1.3K36:55ChristMAT 8:18MAT 8:22MAT 10:7MAT 16:17In this sermon, the speaker focuses on two sayings of Jesus that are closely related to each other.

The speaker emphasizes the urgency and importance of discipleship and following Jesus, even if it means sacrificing worldly comforts and attachments. The sermon highlights the power and love that Jesus demonstrated through his ministry and urges listeners to prioritize their commitment to Jesus over worldly concerns.

The Diminished "Note of Faith"
By Bryan Anthony0MAT 10:7MRK 16:15JHN 14:12ROM 15:18Bryan Anthony emphasizes the importance of not neglecting the power of signs and wonders in modern preaching, highlighting the early church's reliance on miracles as a necessary part of true gospel proclamation. He challenges believers to earnestly desire the gifts of the Spirit and to recapture the vision for the deliverance of captives, drawing inspiration from pioneers of faith like Smith Wigglesworth and John G. Lake. Anthony shares personal stories and reflections on the need for a revival of faith and power in the Church, urging listeners to pursue the reality of the gospel with a renewed 'note of faith.'
