CommentJohn ChrysostomPublic domainMatthew 10:40–42

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 name of a prophet,” and “in the name of a righteous man;” that is, not for any greatness in this life, or other temporal account, but because he is a prophet, or a righteous man.
