<p>10:41<em> He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward- </em>This is a quotation of well-known Jewish thinking. I have shown multiple times in this commentary that the Lord was seeking to encourage His followers that they were no less than Moses, the prophets and the &ldquo;righteous men&rdquo; of the Old Testament. The context here is encouraging them that they are worthy labourers, worthy to receive material support from those they stay with. The &lsquo;receiving&rsquo; of them on their preaching mission (:13) is the &lsquo;receiving&rsquo; the Lord now has in view. His idea is that just as those who received Old Testament prophets will receive a prophet&rsquo;s reward at the last day, possibly &lsquo;from the prophet&rsquo; as the Greek could mean- so just as much those who materially support the disciples will be rewarded. Such supporters will in no wise lose their reward (:42) &ndash; just as surely as those who supported Old Testament prophets will be rewarded, to no lesser extent, those who supported the disciples would likewise be rewarded.</p>
