Matthew 10 includes sayings in which Jesus is presented as demanding a loyaltythat can create enmity among family relations. The statements create a picture ofmissionaries who are often rejected by their kin while also ministering to peoplewho have been or are being alienated from their relatives. This state of affairsobviously prevailed among Christians of the first century to whom the gospelaccording to Matthew was addressed. The statements therefore give some insightsinto Christian family ties and fellowship during the first century. It is the contentionof the article that the missionary discourse in Matthew 10 contains useful and stillrelevant insights about the Christian attitude about family and other kinship ties. Itmust at least be taken into consideration in attempts to formulate the Bible’steaching about the family and the role of Christians towards their own people andnation.
