The disciple is not above his master--teacher.
nor the servant above his lord--another maxim which our Lord repeats in various connections (Luk 6:40; Joh 13:16; Joh 15:20). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| The disciple is not above his master ... - That is, you must expect the same treatment which I have received. They have called me, your Master and Teacher, Beelzebub, the prince of the devils (see Mat 12:24; Luk 11:15; Joh 8:48), and you must expect that they will call all of the family by the same name. "Beelzebub" was a god of the Ekronites. See Kg2 1:2. The word literally means "the god of flies," so called because this idol was supposed to protect them from the numerous swarms of flies with which that country abounded. The correct reading here, as in Luk 11:15, Luk 11:18-19; Mar 3:22, is supposed to be, not "Beelzebub," but "Beelzebul" (Griesbach, Hahn, Robinson, Lexicon) an Aramean form of the word meaning the "god of dung" or "filth." The name, thus altered by the Jews by changing a single letter, was given to Satan to express supreme contempt and aversion. The Jews seem to have first given to Satan the name of a pagan god, and then, to express their sense of the character of Satan, to have changed that name by altering a single letter so as to express their aversion in the most emphatic manner. By giving the name to Christ, they poured upon him the greatest possible abuse and contempt. |

| The disciple is not above his master - Or in plainer terms, A scholar is not above his teacher. The saying itself requires no comment, its truth and reasonableness are self-evident, but to the spirit and design we should carefully attend. Jesus is the great teacher: we profess to be his scholars. He who keeps the above saying in his heart will never complain of what he suffers. How many irregular thoughts and affections is this maxim capable of restraining! A man is not a scholar of Christ unless he learn his doctrine; and he does not learn it as he ought unless he put it in practice. |
20 Remember [3421] the word [3056] that [3739] I [1473] said [2036] unto you [5213], The servant [1401] is [2076] not [3756] greater than [3187] his [846] lord [2962]. If [1487] they have persecuted [1377] me [1691], they will [1377] also [2532] persecute [1377] you [5209]; if [1487] they have kept [5083] my [3450] saying [3056], they will keep [5083] yours [5212] also [2532].
16 Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], The servant [1401] is [2076] not [3756] greater than [3187] his [846] lord [2962]; neither [3761] he that is sent [652] greater than [3187] he that sent [3992] him [846].
40 The disciple [3101] is [2076] not [3756] above [5228] his [846] master [1320]: but [1161] every one [3956] that is perfect [2675] shall be [2071] as [5613] his [846] master [1320].
22 And [2532] the scribes [1122] which [3588] came down [2597] from [575] Jerusalem [2414] said [3004], [3754] He hath [2192] Beelzebub [954], [3754] and [2532] by [1722] the prince [758] of the devils [1140] casteth he out [1544] devils [1140].
18 If [1161] [1499] Satan [4567] also [1499] be divided [1266] against [1909] himself [1438], how [4459] shall [2476] his [846] kingdom [932] stand [2476]? because [3754] ye say [3004] that I [3165] cast out [1544] devils [1140] through [1722] Beelzebub [954].
19 And [1161] if [1487] I [1473] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] cast out [1544] devils [1140], by [1722] whom [5101] do [1544] your [5216] sons [5207] cast them out [1544]? therefore [1223] [5124] shall they [846] be [2071] your [5216] judges [2923].
15 But [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] said [2036], He casteth out [1544] devils [1140] through [1722] Beelzebub [954] the chief [758] of the devils [1140].
2 And Ahaziah [0274] fell down [05307] through a lattice [07639] in his upper chamber [05944] that was in Samaria [08111], and was sick [02470]: and he sent [07971] messengers [04397], and said [0559] unto them, Go [03212], enquire [01875] of Baalzebub [01176] the god [0430] of Ekron [06138] whether I shall recover [02421] of this disease [02483].
48 Then [3767] answered [611] the Jews [2453], and [2532] said [2036] unto him [846], Say [3004] we [2249] not [3756] well [2573] that [3754] thou [4771] art [1488] a Samaritan [4541], and [2532] hast [2192] a devil [1140]?
15 But [1161] some [5100] of [1537] them [846] said [2036], He casteth out [1544] devils [1140] through [1722] Beelzebub [954] the chief [758] of the devils [1140].
24 But [1161] when the Pharisees [5330] heard [191] it, they said [2036], This [3778] fellow doth [1544] not [3756] cast out [1544] devils [1140], but [1508] by [1722] Beelzebub [954] the prince [758] of the devils [1140].
20 Remember [3421] the word [3056] that [3739] I [1473] said [2036] unto you [5213], The servant [1401] is [2076] not [3756] greater than [3187] his [846] lord [2962]. If [1487] they have persecuted [1377] me [1691], they will [1377] also [2532] persecute [1377] you [5209]; if [1487] they have kept [5083] my [3450] saying [3056], they will keep [5083] yours [5212] also [2532].
30 [1161] Give [1325] to every man [3956] that asketh [154] of thee [4571]; and [2532] of [575] him that taketh away [142] thy goods [4674] ask [523] them not [3361] again [523].
