SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #283

"He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me." (Matt. 10:40)


THE HIGH DIGNITY OF THE APOSTLES, and their successors and assistants, consists in this, that they are the true representatives of Christ. He who receives them, receives our Lord; he who listens to them, listens to Him; he who ministers to them, ministers to Him.

[From 'A Practical Commentary on Holy Scripture' by Bishop Knecht, D.D.]

(1899 Douay-Rheims Bible)
