‏ Matthew 10:41-42

10:41 ^a The same reward as a prophet (literally A prophet’s reward) means either the same reward a prophet would receive or the benefit of the prophet’s ministry.

• Righteous people are those who conform their behavior to God’s law as taught by both John the Baptist (21:32 ^b) and Jesus (see 3:15 ^c), and therefore are approved by God (13:43 ^d, 49 ^e; 25:37-46 ^f).
10:42 ^g The least of my followers probably refers to the low social standing of most of Jesus’ followers (cp. 5:3 ^h; 18:1-5 ⁱ and 6:5 ^j; 23:5-12 ^k).
