10:6 And if {b} the son of peace be there, your peace shall rest upon it: if not, it shall turn to you again.
(b) So say the Hebrews: that is, he that favours the doctrine of peace and embraces it.
10:6 Son of peace. One who is worthy of such a blessing and hospitality receives the messengers of the Lord.
10:6 A son of peace - That is, one worthy of it.
10:1-16 Christ sent the seventy disciples, two and two, that they might strengthen and encourage one another. The ministry of the gospel calls men to receive Christ as a Prince and a Saviour; and he will surely come in the power of his Spirit to all places whither he sends his faithful servants. But the doom of those who receive the grace of God in vain, will be very fearful Those who despise the faithful ministers of Christ, who think meanly of them, and look scornfully upon them, will be reckoned as despisers of God and Christ.
