This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Mat 10:18. Δὲ, but) The particle is here used epitatically,[467] to denote a further step in the subject announced.-ἈΧΘΉΣΕΣΘΕ, ye shall be brought) The apostles did not come ultroneously to the rulers, they were brought.-αὐτοῖς, against them) sc. the Jews, in contradistinction to the Gentiles mentioned immediately afterwards,-καὶ τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, and the Gentiles) This chapter therefore already contemplates matters more remote, and refers to the apostolate after our Lord’s ascension.

[467] See Append, on Epitasis. An emphatic addition to an enunciation already made.-ED.
