| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward--(See on Mat 10:42).
Continuation of Teaching Suggested by the Disciple's Strife (Mar 9:42-50).
What follows appears to have no connection with the incidental reproof of John immediately preceding. As that had interrupted some important teaching, our Lord hastens back from it, as if no such interruption had occurred. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
| Whosoever shall give you a cup ... - How easy it is to be a Christian! What is easier than to give a cup of cold water to a thirsty disciple of Jesus! But it must be in his name - that is, because he "is" a Christian, and therefore from love "to the Saviour." This is very different from giving it from a mere motive of common kindness. If done from love to Christ, it will be rewarded; and hence we learn that the humblest acts of Christians - the lowest service that is rendered - will be graciously noticed by Jesus and rewarded. None are so humble in his kingdom as not to be able to do good, and none so poor that he may not show attachment to him. The feeblest service will be accepted, and acts of love that may be forgotten by man, will be remembered by Him, and rewarded in heaven. |

42 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [302] shall offend [4624] one [1520] of these little ones [3398] that believe [4100] in [1519] me [1691], it is [2076] better [2570] [3123] for him [846] that [1487] a millstone [3037] [3457] were hanged [4029] about [4012] his [846] neck [5137], and [2532] he were cast [906] into [1519] the sea [2281].
43 And [2532] if [1437] thy [4675] hand [5495] offend [4624] thee [4571], cut [609] it [846] off [609]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] into [1519] life [2222] maimed [2948], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] hands [5495] to go [565] into [1519] hell [1067], into [1519] the fire [4442] that never shall be quenched [762]:
44 Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570].
45 And [2532] if [1437] thy [4675] foot [4228] offend [4624] thee [4571], cut [609] it [846] off [609]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] halt [5560] into [1519] life [2222], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] feet [4228] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067], into [1519] the fire [4442] that never shall be quenched [762]:
46 Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570].
47 And [2532] if [1437] thine [4675] eye [3788] offend [4624] thee [4571], pluck [1544] it [846] out [1544]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter [1525] into [1519] the kingdom [932] of God [2316] with one eye [3442], than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] eyes [3788] to be cast [906] into [1519] hell [1067] fire [4442]:
48 Where [3699] their [846] worm [4663] dieth [5053] not [3756], and [2532] the fire [4442] is [4570] not [3756] quenched [4570].

50 Salt [217] is good [2570]: but [1161] if [1437] the salt [217] have lost [1096] his saltness [358], wherewith [1722] [5101] will ye season [741] it [846]? Have [2192] salt [217] in [1722] yourselves [1438], and [2532] have peace [1514] one [240] with [1722] another [240].
42 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall give to drink [4222] unto one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398] a cup [4221] of cold [5593] water only [3440] in [1519] the name [3686] of a disciple [3101], verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], he shall in no wise [3364] lose [622] his [846] reward [3408].

37 Whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] one [1520] of such [5108] children [3813] in [1909] my [3450] name [3686], receiveth [1209] me [1691]: and [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall receive [1209] me [1691], receiveth [1209] not [3756] me [1691], but [235] him that sent [649] me [3165].
6 But [1161] whoso [3739] [302] shall offend [4624] one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398] which [3588] believe [4100] in [1519] me [1691], it were better [4851] for him [846] that [2443] a millstone [3458] [3684] were hanged [2910] about [1909] his [846] neck [5137], and [2532] that he were drowned [2670] in [1722] the depth [3989] of the sea [2281].
7 Woe [3759] unto the world [2889] because of [575] offences [4625]! for [1063] it must needs [318] be [2076] that offences [4625] come [2064]; but [4133] woe [3759] to that man [444] by [1565] whom [1223] [3739] the offence [4625] cometh [2064] !
8 Wherefore [1161] if [1487] thy [4675] hand [5495] or [2228] thy [4675] foot [4228] offend thee [4624], cut [1581] them [846] off [1581], and [2532] cast [906] them from [575] thee [4571] [4675]: it is [2076] better [2570] for thee [4671] to enter into [1525] [1519] life [2222] halt [5560] or [2228] maimed [2948], rather than [2228] having [2192] two [1417] hands [5495] or [2228] two [1417] feet [4228] to be cast [906] into [1519] everlasting [166] fire [4442].
42 And [2532] whosoever [3739] [1437] shall give to drink [4222] unto one [1520] of these [5130] little ones [3398] a cup [4221] of cold [5593] water only [3440] in [1519] the name [3686] of a disciple [3101], verily [281] I say [3004] unto you [5213], he shall in no wise [3364] lose [622] his [846] reward [3408].
