rwp - Matthew:10:41

rwp@Matthew:10:41 @{In the name of a prophet} (\eis onoma prophtou\). "Because he is a prophet" (Moffatt). In an Oxyrhynchus Papyrus 37 (A.D. 49) we find \onomati eleutherou\ in virtue of being free-born. "He that receiveth a prophet from no ulterior motive, but simply _qua_ prophet (_ut prophetam_, Jer.) would receive a reward in the coming age equal to that of his guest" (McNeile). The use of \eis\ here is to be noted. In reality \eis\ is simply \en\ with the same meaning. It is not proper to say that \eis\ has always to be translated "into." Besides these examples of \eis onoma\ in verses 41| and 43| see strkjv@Matthew:12:41| \eis to krugma In\ (see Robertson's _Grammar_, p. 593). {Unto one of these little ones} (\hena tn mikrn toutn\). Simple believers who are neither apostles, prophets, or particularly righteous, just "learners," "in the name of a disciple" (\eis onoma mathtou\). Alford thinks that some children were present (cf. strkjv@Matthew:18:2-6|).
