2 TIMOTHY 4:2

10)And He said unto them,
in what place soever ye
enter into a house, there
abide till ye depart from the
place
11)And whosoever shall not
receive you, nor hear you,
when ye depart thence,
shake of the dust under
your feet for a testimony
against them, Verily I say
unto you, it shall be more
tolerable for Sodom and
Gomorrah in the days of
judgment, than for that city
|
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
JESUS continued giving
guidance, directing and
orders to the disciples
saying, in what place soever
you enter into an house,
there abide till you depart
from that place; that is, in
whatsoever city or town
they should come to, the
first house they went in to,
they should continue in,
during their stay in that city
or town, and not shift from
house to house, they were
not to change their lodging
place, and they were not to
stay too long anywhere, lest
they should be burdensome
to any they were to remain
with that host and not to be
moving about from place to
place
AND WHOSOEVER SHALL
NOT RECEIVE YOU, NOR
HEAR YOU
Any place that does not
welcome you or listen to
you, when you leave there,
shake the dust off the soles
of your feet as a testimony
against them, because they
reject and despised the
Gospel, therefore depart
from them as an unworthy
people, against whom the
dust of their feet, the dust
was shaken off as an 3
evidence of the toil and
labor of the apostles in
journeying to them, it
witness that they had
entered the city and had
delivered the Gospel to
them and their message has
been refused , it would rise
as a testimony in the days of
judgment, breaking all ties
with them because they
rejected the message of the
kingdom.
Verily, I say unto you, it shall
be more tolerable for
Sodom and Gomorrah in the
day of judgment, than for
that city

2)And he sent them to
preach the kingdom of GOD,
and to heal the sick
3)And he said unto them,
take nothing for your
journey, neither staves, nor
scrip, neither bread, neither
money; neither have two
coats apiece
4)And whatsoever house ye
enter into there abide, and
thence depart
5)And whosoever will not
receive you, when ye go out
of that city, shake off the
very dust from your feet for
a testimony against them
|
AND HE SENT THEM TO
PREACH THE KINGDOM OF
GOD
CHRIST gave them power,
they did not have it until He
gave it to them, nor could
they heal, and He sent them
to preach the kingdom of
GOD, the Gospel, which
gives an account of the
kingdom of the Messiah, the
ministration of the word,
and the administration of
ordnance of the kingdom of
grace in the hearts of the
believers, and the nature of
it, to preach the Gospel and
recommend it to men
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM
TAKE NOTHING FOR YOUR
JOURNEY
They were not to seek
success through personal
appearance and
materialism, they were to
live in utter simplicity and
humility , they were not to
, take nothing for their
journey neither stave, rod 4
or club nor scrip; neither
bread, neither money; gold,
silver; or brass, to buy bread
with: because they were to
have it, wherever they
came, given them, as their
due, the need and the hour
were urgent, concentrate
on preaching and
ministering , learn to believe
and trust GOD day by day,
become a living example of
what is being preached,
have faith in GOD, do not
begin to trust in the things
of the world, become
attached to GOD and His
kingdom alone; not money,
houses, lands, cars, clothes,
hairstyle, appearance, food,
buying selling and
accumulation of things, be
heavenly-minded and
ministry-centered
AND WHATSOEVER HOUSE
YOU ENTER
In any town, or city they
should come to in their
journey though such town
and city and should enter
into for the sake of lodging,
during their stay, there
abide; do not shift quarters ,
or move from house to
house, do not leave the
house till you depart out the
town or city, they were to
minister in the house to the
interested and hospitable
families
AND WHOSOEVER WILL
NOT RECEIVE YOU
They were to warn
rejecters, if a town or city
did not receive their witness
and if a home could not be
found that could receive
|
|
them, then the disciples was
to leave, he was not force
the issue or If they will not
take you into their houses,
when you go out of that city
do not create a bad
situation either for the
rejecters or for himself,
there will not be accusation
or disruptiveness created,
he was simply to leave, and
as he left, he was to give a
silent testimony, against
them.
Shake off the very dust
from your feet, for a
testimony , this is a symbol
of serious judgment, it
meant that not even the
dust of the place was
worthy of the gospel of
GOD, much less people, the
place and the people were
left to themselves just as
they had wished, they were
left without GOD and His
glorious news of salvation,
so they were to be left
alone to govern their own
life, just as they willed, GOD
would abandon them to
their choice of life

16)He that heareth you
heareth me; and he that
despiseth you despiseth me,
and he that despiseth me
despiseth him that sent me
|
HE THAT HEARETH YOU
HEARETH ME
JESUS OUR LORD declares
the general rule, that will be
observe, with regards to
those to whom he sent, this
is said for the
encouragement of the
disciples and believer, that
though they would be
rejected by some, they
would be received by
others, who would hear
them, and embrace their
doctrine as if the Messiah
himself had been among
them, they looking upon
them as representing him,
or should send His
ministers; that he would
reckon – he that heareth
you, and regards what you
say, heareth me,.
The disciples and believers
represent CHRIST and was
to be given the most serious
hearing possible, he was
counted as though CHRIST
himself were speaking, but
he that despise me, and
every degree of contempt
cast upon them by words or
actions will be punish for it,
and he that despises me ,
despises him that sent me,
this is said to aggravate the
sin of the despisers , the
rejection of the disciples
and believer’s message was
the most serios offense, it
was counted as the
rejection of GOD Himself

JOHN 5:24
|
24)Verily, Verily, I say unto
you, He that heareth my
word and believeth on Him
that sent me, hath
everlasting life, and shall
not come into
condemnation; but is
passed from death unto life
|
VERILY, I SAY UNTO YOU
HE THAT HEARETH MY
WORD
He that heareth my word,
by which is meant the
Gospel, as if is so called,
both because it is spoken by
CHRIST and first began to be
spoken by Him, by the work
of righteousness , pardon,
peace, and salvation by
Him, to hear, in this place,
evidently is the act to
receive in a proper manner;
to make its proper
impression on the mind that
is to understand and obey
my doctrine, my teaching,
and all that JESUS taught
about himself, as well of
that of the FATHER on Him
that sent me, on the
FATHER, who, in the plan of
redemption, is represented
as sending His SON to save
men.
JESUS was equal with GOD
was His power over man
destiny, the power to save
men from death to life, they
are saved by hearing JESUS
word, which is commitment
and obedience to it, in other
to be saved, men must hear
and follow JESUS word, do
exactly as He says, they are
saved by believing GOD,
that is, by believing that
GOD has sent His son JESUS
CHRIST to save them.
For as he that reject CHRIST,
and receives not His words,,
reject and receives not Him
that sent Him,, so he that
hear CHRIST words, and
receives Him, and believes
in Him, receives and
believes in Him that sent
Him;
HATH EVERLASTING LIFE
Eternal life, A man passes
from the state of death into
the state of life, he is
already translated from the
death state to the renewed,
quickened state, from the
state of condemnation the
judgment is over, the books
are closed, the
condemnation is no longer
possible, he will not perish,
he is into the state of
justification, when a man is
truly saved, he is never
condemned to die; neither
for original sin, through
judgment ,he is declared
righteous and given eternal
life , he has crossed over
from death to life

JOHN 9:41

41)JESUS said unto them, if
ye were blind, ye should
have no sin: but now ye say,
we see; therefore your sin
remaineth
|
JESUS SAID UNTO THEM IF
YE WERE BLIND, YOU
SHOULD HAVE NO SIN
JESUS said to them, if you
were blind to spiritual
things, if you were really
blind, had no opportunities
of learning the truth, if you
were truly ignorant and
willing to confess it, that is
people who destitute of
true knowledge of the
kingdom and gospel the
true spiritual light , they
were indeed blind, if you
were conscious of your own
Spiritual darkness, if you
desired to reach to the light,
as to any true saving sight of
JESUS and of the true way
of salvation by believing in
Him and come to CHRIST for
instruction.
Your unbelief, you would
not be , it will not make you
sinful , just because it will
involve no resistance to
Divine truth ,He does not
place them among those
who are in this sense blind,
but those who were
conscious of their
blindness, and would seek
for spiritual light through
JESUS CHRIST ,you would
have no sin and would not
be blame for your unbelief.
BUT NOW YE SAY WE SEE
But your sin in this false
teaching and your constant
rejecting the Gospel of the
kingdom, who constantly
boast that, who are
instruction of false teaching 9
, who are ignorant and
leaders of the blind; a light
of those who sit in darkness,
they reject Him because
they do not know the truth
about him, they are
altogether ignorant and
deny the gospel, their true
place in among those who
were spiritually blind, and
were unconscious of it, they
which see, who are
unconscious of the Light,
which is JESUS CHRIST ,but
since you claim to have
spiritual sight, sin will be
aggravated, and you would
not have no excuse so your
sin and guilt remain

20) Verily, Verily, I say unto

receiveth me receiveth him
that sent me

VERILY I SAY UNTO YOU HE
THAT RECEIVE
WHOMSOEVER I SENT
They who received the
believers the teacher and
preachers of the true
gospel, receive JESUS
CHRIST and they who
receive Him received GOD I
have sent you in my name
to preach the Gospel: you
are my followers, and you
will be honorably received
by many; and as though
they had received me; even
as my FATHER who sent me
into the world, as a Savior
and redeemer ; and as many
as received me, are looked
upon by my FATHER, as
having received Him, and as
such who receive CHRIST, as
preached and held forth in
the everlasting Gospel,
receive the FATHER of
CHRIST; and partake of His 10
love, grace, and
righteousness, mercy,
compassion and kindness
show forth in the mission
and gift of CHRIST to them,
CHRIST, as Mediator,
Messiah, represented His
FATHER that sent Him; and
the disciples and believers
as ministers of CHRIST
represent Him; so what is
done to them, either in a
way of reception or
rejection, He takes as done
to himself:

22)If I had not come and
spoken unto them, they had
sin; but now they have no
cloak for their sin
23)He that hateth me
hateth my FATHER also

IF I HAD NOT COME AND
SPOKEN UNTO THEM
If I had not come and
spoken to them, as the
revealer of the FATHER,
they would not had sin
JESUS show the sinfulness
of the world , if I had not
come and spoken to them
plainly, declared unto them
the will of GOD and made
known His requirements,
their guilt would not have
being so great , if I have not
appeared in person among
them, according to their
own prophesies, and proved
my mission , which put it
beyond all reasonable
possibility of doubt, they
would not have been so
much blamed for rejecting
the Gospel and persecuting
Him if he had not come and
told them that He was the
Messiah, they might have
pleaded and be excused for
their ignorance of Him, and
His mission, and of the
FATHER that sent Him; but
in as much He came in the
flesh, and came to them His 11
own; and came as a light of
the world, carrying along
evidence ,, conviction, and
demonstration of His being
the Messiah; speaking such
words as never man did;
preaching with such
authority as the religionist
did not declaring in plain
terms He was the CHRIST of
GOD, and that if they did
not believe him to be so,
they will die in their sins;
they could not have no
pretext to make for
ignorance and disbelief; if
all this had
BUT NOW THEY HAVE NO
CLOAK FOR THEIR SIN
But now that all, things
foretold by Moses and
prophets are fulfilled in Me
that my Gospel is the very
way well-intentioned to
GOD, and that my mission
from GOD is sufficient
prove by my miracles,
therefore, their is no
covering, no excuse, for
them, the proof has been so
clear that they cannot plead
ignorance; it has been so
often presented that they
cannot allege that they had
no opportunity of knowing
it, they have no excuse for
their sin and unbelief

JOHN 15:24

24)If I had not done among
them the works which none
other man did, they had not

both seen and hated both
me and my FATHER

IF I HAD NOT DONE AMONG
THEM THE WORKS WHICH
NONE OTHER MAN DID
If I had not come and
proved to the religionist
beyond doubt that I was the
Messiah they would not had
have the sin of rejecting me,
but now they have no
excuse for this sin, they
hate both Me and my
FATHER this make the crime
of rejecting CHRIST equal to,
if not the same , the crime
of rejection GOD
The world hate believer
because it does not really
know GOD, the world is
deceived in its concept and
belief of GOD, the world
conceive GOD to be the one
who fulfilled their earthly
desire and lust, Man’s idea
of GOD protects and
provides and gives no
matter what a person’s
behavior, however the true
believer teaches against
this, proclaiming that both
loving and just, GOD loves
us, but He demands
righteousness of us, the
world rebelled against it

BUT THE JEWS STIRRED UP
THE DEVOUT AND
HONORABLE
But the Jews stirred up the
devout and honorable
women, and the chief men
of the city, but these might
be the new convert they,
the Jews opposed rival
religion, and to put and end
to the spread of the gospel,
the Jews opposed the
doctrine of JESUS CHRIST
the apostles preached; and
when they could not raise
objection, they raised
persecution, probably on
the ground that they
produce disorder word
away, they vigorously and
strongly reacted;
JESUS CHRIST is to be
proclaimed to the Gentiles, 13
to the whole world
Therefore Paul and
Barnabas declared loudly
that he and Barnabas were
obeying GOD’S will they
were turning to those who
are ready to receive the
glorious Gospel of Salvation,
the were persecuted and
expelled out of the city,
they reject the word, they
judge themselves unworthy
of everlasting life, the
preachers reject the
rejecters of the Gospel, the
word of been clearly
proclaimed to them, they
had every opportunity, the
have push the word away, it
was they who , it was not
GOD who counted they
unworthy, GOD had the
Gospel taken to them, it
was they who condemned
themselves; they brought
judgment upon themselves
THEY SHOOK OFF THE DUST
OF THEIR FEET AGAINST
THEM
The act was one of the
command of JESUS CHRIST
MATTHEW 10:14 they
came, the disciples were,
there are too many
instructed to turn away
from the rejecters of the
Gospel who will open their
hearts and homes to the
LORD, than to waste
precious time on those who
are so evil that they
contradict and blasphemes
CHRIST, they are to turn to
willing hearers , the
preacher dramatically
turned away from the
rejecters, this is exactly
|
|
what CHRIST had said to do
when people reject the
Gospel, it was symbol that
the people were not worthy
of the Gospel because of
their stubbornness , their
continued rejection and
hostility to gospel, the
disciples, were sustained by
GOD they were filled with
the Holy Spirit despite
terrible rejection and
persecution

AND HE REASONED IN THE
SYNAGOGUE
Paul according to his
custom, began his ministry
in the Synagogue; and
endeavored to persuade
the Jews and Greeks, he
argued and disputed giving
his reasons out of scripture,
and answering their
objections, Paul went, and
took the opportunity of
reasoning with them out of
the Scriptures how he could
convince the listeners
concerning JESUS CHRIST,
His person and office, His
incarnation, obedience ,
suffering, and death,
redemption and salvation
by Him, with diligence,
industry, cogent arguments
, he move to preach
CHRIST to those who are in
attendance, and persuaded
the Jews and the Greeks or
Gentile, who are new
convert by his arguments,
and were induced to believe
the truth of CHRIST
doctrine and to embrace it
and persuade them that
they were lost sinners, and 15
that there was salvation for
them in CHRIST and in HIM
only while the week days he
labored with his own hand
as tent maker to take care
of his needs and those with
him ACTS 20:33-35.
PAUL WAS PRESSED IN THE
SPIRIT
Paul was pressed, was urge:
was deeply impressed on
him as his duty, the Spirit of
GOD influence his Spirit, he
move and stirred up to
preach the Gospel, in his
love for CHRIST he was
devoted to preaching and
teaching the word, felt
anguished in heart, such
was his grief for the Jews,
so great was his desire that
they might be saved
PAUL WAS REJECTED
Paul was rejected, THE Jews
opposed and became
abusive of the name of
JESUS, they organized and
opposed the preaching and
teaching of JESUS CHRIST as
the Messiah, and they hated
and spoke reproachfully of
CHRIST, Paul turned from
the Jews to Gentiles,
HE SHOOK HIS RAIMENT
The expressive act of the
apostles indignant protest,
the guilt of their
condemnation, henceforth
to have nothing to do with
them; perhaps, also, to
express the fact that GOD
would soon reject them
according to the LORD
direction MATTHEW 10:14
shaking off the guilt of their
YOUR BLOOD BE UPON
YOUR OWN HEADS

|
The guilt of your
destruction is your own, you
are the cause of the
destruction that is coming
upon you, I am clean, I have
done my duty, the Glorious
Gospel had been fairly
offered and deliberately
rejected; and Paul am not to
be blamed for your
destruction, which will
come upon them.
FROM HENCEFORTH I WILL
GO UNTO THE GENTILE
From henceforth I will go
unto the Gentile and preach
the Gospel to them, Paul
turned from the Jews to
Gentiles, Paul declared that
he had fulfilled his
responsibility to them, he
was free of their blood, of
the responsibility for their
salvation, their blood, the
responsibility for their
salvation, was now upon
their own head, the believer
is to trun from those who
continue to reject the
gospel: but do according to
the instruction what CHRIST
command said for us to do,
he should shook of the dust
of those who had reject the
glorious Gospel
