Matthew 10:1-4

Power; the casting out of unclean spirits is here distinguished as something distinct from the healing of any kind of disease. Christ has such infinite fulness, that he can communicate to his ministers and disciples all the gifts and qualifications which they need. Apostles; messengers, persons who were sent.

Simon; when Christ first saw him, he called him in Syro-Chaldaic, Cephas--in Greek, Petros--which means, a stone; signifying, that in his future life he would be a firm and steadfast supporter of the truth.

James; this was he whom Herod slew. Ac 12:2.
Matthew; whom Christ called while sitting at the receipt of custom. Chap. Mt 9:9.

James; he who wrote the epistle called by his name.

Lebbeus; called also Judas. Lu 6:16.
Iscariot; the man of Charioth, to which town he belonged.
