Commentary
Commentary on Matthew 10:42
Theological / DevotionalGive to drink. Perhaps used as an illustration of the least conceivable service that might be rendered to another. It was a minor service, to be sure, but often a most important and necessary one in Bible lands where water was always scarce.
These little ones. Not necessarily little in age, but possibly in importance also.
In the name. What is meant by doing something “in the name of” someone is defined in Mark 9:41, where to give a cup of water in the name of Christ is explained as being done “because ye belong to Christ.”
