Matthew 10:42

“But he says, shall they give, (Mat.” — the author cites it

“…“Whosoever shall give to one of the least of these, a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward:” but I maintain that the doing of a thing, which either bodily necessity, or the onslaught of the flesh, or the inequalities of this world, compel to be done,…” — editor's note: S. Matt. x. 42.

“Nor saith He only, “Whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water,” but addeth, “in the name of a disciple” and so concludeth, “Verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.”” — editor's note: Matt. x. 41, 42.

“If thou hast not the means of breaking bread, hast not house into which thou mayest bring, hast not garment wherewith thou mayest cover: give a cup of cold water, cast two mites into the treasury.” — editor's note: Matt. x. 42.

“…righteousness:…that is, because he is Christ’s disciple, because he is a steward of the Mystery: “Verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.”” — editor's note: Matt. x. 42.

“Do ye wish to see how powerful a thing love is?…If charity be destitute of means, so that it cannot find what to bestow upon the poor, let it love: let it give “one cup of cold water;” as much shall be laid to its account, as to Zaccheus who gave half his patrimony to the poor.” — editor's note: Matt. x. 42.

“…give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, He shall in no wise lose his reward:” although, then, they that do this, do it to their own good: yet neither could this kind office be done to Him when about to ascend into Heaven.” — editor's note: Matt. x. 41, 42.

“…shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, his reward shall not be lost,”) lest haply after he had reproved the eye of them which bestow things needful upon the indigent both prophets and just men and disciples of the Lord, the eye…” — editor's note: Matt. x. 40–42

“But thou hast “a cup of cold water” ( Matt. x. 42 ), however poor thou art.” — the author cites it

“…makes a discourse, to His own sempiternal water; approves, when teaching concerning love, among works of charity, the cup of water offered to a poor (child); recruits His strength at a well; walks over the water; willingly crosses the sea; ministers water to His disciples.” — editor's note: Matt. x. 42.

“Such is the favour in which hospitality stands with God, that not even the draught of cold water shall fail of getting a reward.” — editor's note: S. Matt. x. 42.

“Therefore those who do the things which are good must have no manner of fear lest the power of doing should fail them; since in the gospel the widow’s devotion is extolled in the case of her two mites, and voluntary bounty gets its reward for a cup of cold water.” — editor's note: The reffs. are obviously to S. Luke xxi. 2–4, and S. Matt. x. 42 (q.v.).

““Whosoever shall receive,” says He, “a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet’s reward; and whosoever shall receive a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man’s reward; and whoso shall receive one of the least of these my disciples, shall not lose his reward.”” — editor's note: Matt. x. 41, 42.

“That even a small work is of advantage, also in the same place: “And whoever shall give to drink to one of the least of these a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, His reward shall not perish.”” — editor's note: Matt. x. 42.

The Lord when He sends forth His disciples to preach, teaches them that dangers are not to be feared, that natural affection is to be postponed to religion - gold He had above taken from them, brass He had shaken out…

Enough had been said above to persuade those who should have to entertain the Apostles. For who would not with all willingness take in to his house men who were so courageous, that they despised all dangers that…

These words shew that He has a Mediator’s office, and since He came from God, when He is received by us, through Him God is transfused into us; and by this disposition of grace to have received the Apostles is no…

A further reward also He promises, saying, “He who receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet’s reward.” He said not merely, “Whoso receiveth a prophet,” or “a righteous man,” but “in the…

Otherwise; To this His exhortation to the disciple to entertain his teacher, there might a secret objection arise among the faithful; then shall we have to support the false prophets, or Judas, the traitor. To this…

“A prophet’s reward, and a righteous man’s reward,” are such rewards as it is fitting he should have who entertains a prophet, or a righteous man; or, such a reward as a prophet or righteous man should have.

He says not, a reward from a prophet, or righteous man, but the reward of a prophet or righteous man. For the prophet is perhaps a righteous man, and the less he possesses in this world, the greater confidence has he…

Mystically; He who receives a prophet as a prophet, and understands him speaking of things to come, he shall receive reward of that prophet. The Jews therefore, who understand the prophets carnally, do not receive…

Some understand by the prophet here, the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom Moses says, “A Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you;” [Deut 18:18] and the same also by the righteous man, because he is beyond…

That none should say, I am poor and therefore cannot be hospitable, He takes away even this plea by the instance of a cup of cold water, given with good will. He says “cold water,” because in “hot,” poverty and lack…

“The least of these,” that is, not a prophet, or a righteous man, but one of these least.

Note, that God looks more to the pious mind of the giver, than to the abundance of the thing given.

Or, “the least,” are they who have nothing at all in this world, and shall be judges with Christ.

Or; Seeing beforehand that there would be many who would only glory in the name of Apostleship, but in their whole life and walk would be unworthy of it, He does not therefore deprive of its reward that service which…

Matthew 10:42 and Mark 9:41 share the same wording (15 words).
