Notes, Explanatory and Practical, on the Old and New Testaments (1832-1869)

Philip and Bartholomew - These two were probably sent out together. Philip was a native of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. He is not the same as Philip the evangelist, mentioned in Act 6:5; Act 21:8. Bartholomew (literally, “the son of Tolmai”). Thomas - Literally, “a twin,” in reference to which he is also called “Didymus,” Joh 11:16. For his character, see the notes at Joh 20:25. “And Matthew the publican.” See the notes at Mat 9:9. “James the son of Alpheus.” See the note above.

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

Note, It is good for those who are advanced to honour with Christ, to look unto the rock whence they were hewn; often to remember what they were before Christ called them, that thereby they may be kept humble, and divine grace may be the more glorified. Matthew the apostle was Matthew the publican.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Matthew (1856)

This chapter is one of peculiar solemnity. Here is the record of the first ordination which ever took place in the Church of Christ. The Lord Jesus chooses and sends forth the twelve apostles. Here is an account of the first charge ever delivered to newly ordained Christian ministers. The Lord Jesus himself delivers it. Never was there so important an ordination! Never was there so solemn a charge! There are three lessons which stand out prominently on the face of the first fifteen verses of this chapter. Let us take them in order.
