Verse 25 of 42

Scripture focus

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?

Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 10:25

Theological / Devotional

Master of the house. Gr. oikodespotes, or “lord of the house” (see on Luke 2:29). That is, Christ — continuing the thought of Matt. 10:24.

Beelzebub. Whether this word is to be identified with “Baalzebub,” the fly god of Ekron (see on 2 Kings 1:2), or whether it should be “Beelzebul,” in Aramaic, “lord of the dwelling,” is uncertain. Important textual evidence (cf. p. 146) may be cited for the reading “Beelzebul” (see on Matt. 12:24).
