Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 10:27

Theological / Devotional

In darkness. Meaning, probably, in the comparative obscurity of the small circle of disciples.

Speak ye in light. Probably indicating the wide circulation the disciples were to give the lessons of truth they had learned in private.

In the ear. Parallel in thought to “darkness” in the first part of the verse.

Upon the housetops. A figure for the wide circulation they were to give the gospel, parallel to “speak ye in light.” They were not to purchase peace through silence and compromise.
