| The disciple, &c.--that is, "The disciple aims to come up to his master, and he thinks himself complete when he does so: if you then be blind leaders of the blind, the perfection of one's training under you will only land him the more certainly in one common ruin with yourselves." |

Perfect (κατηρτισμένος)
Rev., rendering the participle more literally, perfected. See on Mat 4:21. The word signifies to readjust, restore, set to rights, whether in a physical or a moral sense. See Co1 1:10, where Paul exhorts to be perfectly joined together (κατηρτισμένοι) in opposition to being divided. In Gal 6:1, it is used of restoring a brother taken in a fault. Hence the meaning to perfect, as Eph 4:12. Used in medical language of setting a bone or joint. |

Every one that is perfect - Or, thoroughly instructed, κατηρτισμενος: - from καταρτιζω, to adjust, adapt, knit together, restore, or put in joint. The noun is used by the Greek medical writers to signify the reducing a luxated or disjointed limb. It sometimes signifies to repair or mend, and in this sense it is applied to broken nets, Mat 4:21; Mar 1:19; but in this place, and in Heb 13:21; Ti2 3:17, it means complete instruction and information. Every one who is thoroughly instructed in Divine things, who has his heart united to God, whose disordered tempers and passions are purified and restored to harmony and order; every one who has in him the mind that was in Christ, though he cannot be above, yet will be as, his teacher - holy, harmless, undefiled, and separate from sinners.
"The disciple who perfectly understands the rules and sees the example of his master, will think it his business to tread exactly in his steps, to do and suffer upon like occasions, as his master did: and so he will be like his master." Whitby. |
12 For [4314] the perfecting [2677] of the saints [40], for [1519] the work [2041] of the ministry [1248], for [1519] the edifying [3619] of the body [4983] of Christ [5547]:
1 Brethren [80], if [1437] [2532] a man [444] be overtaken [4301] in [1722] a [5100] fault [3900], ye [5210] which [3588] are spiritual [4152], restore [2675] such an one [5108] in [1722] the spirit [4151] of meekness [4236]; considering [4648] thyself [4572], lest [3361] thou [4771] also [2532] be tempted [3985].
10 Now [1161] I beseech [3870] you [5209], brethren [80], by [1223] the name [3686] of our [2257] Lord [2962] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547], that [2443] ye [3004] all [3956] speak [3004] the same thing [846], and [2532] that there be [5600] no [3361] divisions [4978] among [1722] you [5213]; but [1161] that ye be [5600] perfectly joined together [2675] in [1722] the same [846] mind [3563] and [2532] in [1722] the same [846] judgment [1106].
21 And [2532] going on [4260] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] other [243] two [1417] brethren [80], James [2385] the son of [3588] Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], in [1722] a ship [4143] with [3326] Zebedee [2199] their [846] father [3962], mending [2675] their [846] nets [1350]; and [2532] he called [2564] them [846].
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].
24 The disciple [3101] is [2076] not [3756] above [5228] his master [1320], nor [3761] the servant [1401] above [5228] his [846] lord [2962].
17 That [2443] the man [444] of God [2316] may be [5600] perfect [739], throughly furnished [1822] unto [4314] all [3956] good [18] works [2041].
21 Make [2675] you [5209] perfect [2675] in [1722] every [3956] good [18] work [2041] to [1519] do [4160] his [846] will [2307], working [4160] in [1722] you [5213] that which is wellpleasing [2101] in his [846] sight [1799], through [1223] Jesus [2424] Christ [5547]; to whom [3739] be glory [1391] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165]. Amen [281].
19 And [2532] when he had gone [4260] a little [3641] further [4260] thence [1564], he saw [1492] James [2385] the son [3588] of Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], who [846] also [2532] were in [1722] the ship [4143] mending [2675] their nets [1350].
21 And [2532] going on [4260] from thence [1564], he saw [1492] other [243] two [1417] brethren [80], James [2385] the son of [3588] Zebedee [2199], and [2532] John [2491] his [846] brother [80], in [1722] a ship [4143] with [3326] Zebedee [2199] their [846] father [3962], mending [2675] their [846] nets [1350]; and [2532] he called [2564] them [846].
