Greek Commentary for Matthew 10:5
The word “sent forth” (απεστειλεν apesteilen) is the same root as “apostles.” The same word reappears in Matthew 10:16. [source]
Objective genitive, way leading to the Gentiles. This prohibition against going among the Gentiles and the Samaritans was for this special tour. They were to give the Jews the first opportunity and not to prejudice the cause at this stage. Later Jesus will order them to go and disciple all the Gentiles (Matthew 28:19). [source]

The Jews had the first claim. See the command of Jesus in the third tour of Galilee to avoid the Gentiles and the Samaritans (Matthew 10:5). Paul was the Apostle to the Gentiles, but he gave the Jew the first opportunity (Romans 2:9.). See note on Matthew 15:24. [source]

The correct reading is Ἱσκαριώτου , Iscariot, agreeing in the genitive case with Σίμωνος , of Simon. Render, as Rev., Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. Iscariot denotes the name of Simon's town: a man of Kerioth. See on Matthew 10:5. [source]
Because this was the natural route from Jerusalem to Galilee. Possibly with a suggestion of the necessity arising from the Father's will. John does not put this as a mission undertaken to the Samaritans. Jesus observed the law which He imposed on His disciples (Matthew 10:5). [source]
In contrast to the ignorance of these people. See the same words in John 8:55 and the same claim in John 17:25; Matthew 11:27; Luke 10:22 (the Johannine aerolite). “These three words contain the unique claim of Jesus, which is pressed all through the chapters of controversy with the Jews” (Bernard). Jesus is the Interpreter of God to men (John 1:18). And he sent me First aorist active indicative of αποστελλω apostellō the very verb used of Jesus when he sent forth the twelve (Matthew 10:5) and used by Jesus again of himself in John 17:3. He is the Father‘s Apostle to men. [source]
Formerly they had been commanded not to enter the cities of the Samaritans (Matthew 10:5). [source]
Genitive absolute and is simultaneous in time with the preceding verb “shall receive” The Holy Spirit will give them the “power” as he comes upon them. This is the baptism of the Holy Spirit referred to in Acts 1:5. My witnesses (μου μαρτυρες mou martures). Correct text. “Royal words of magnificent and Divine assurance” (Furneaux). Our word martyrs is this word μαρτυρες martures In Luke 24:48 Jesus calls the disciples “witnesses to these things” (μαρτυρες τουτων martures toutōn objective genitive). In Acts 1:22 an apostle has to be a “witness to the Resurrection” of Christ and in Acts 10:39 to the life and work of Jesus. Hence there could be no “apostles” in this sense after the first generation. But here the apostles are called “my witnesses.” “His by a direct personal relationship” (Knowling). The expanding sphere of their witness when the Holy Spirit comes upon them is “unto the uttermost part of the earth” (εως εσχατου της γης heōs eschatou tēs gēs). Once they had been commanded to avoid Samaria (Matthew 10:5), but now it is included in the world program as already outlined on the mountain in Galilee (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15). Jesus is on Olivet as he points to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the uttermost (last, εσχατου eschatou) part of the earth. The program still beckons us on to world conquest for Christ. “The Acts themselves form the best commentary on these words, and the words themselves might be given as the best summary of the Acts” (Page). The events follow this outline (Jerusalem till the end of chapter 7, with the martyrdom of Stephen, the scattering of the saints through Judea and Samaria in chapter 8, the conversion of Saul, chapter 9, the spread of the gospel to Romans in Caesarea by Peter (chapter 10), to Greeks in Antioch (chapter 11), finally Paul‘s world tours and arrest and arrival in Rome (chapter 11 to chapter 28).

Genitive of apposition. Samaria is the name of the city here. This is the first instance cited of the expansion noted in Acts 8:4. Jesus had an early and fruitful ministry in Samaria (John 4), though the twelve were forbidden to go into a Samaritan city during the third tour of Galilee (Matthew 10:5), a temporary prohibition withdrawn before Jesus ascended on high (Acts 1:8). Proclaimed (εκηρυσσεν ekērussen). Imperfect active, began to preach and kept on at it. Note ευαγγελιζομενοι euaggelizomenoi in Acts 8:4 of missionaries of good news (Page) while εκηρυσσεν ekērussen here presents the preacher as a herald. He is also a teacher (διδασκαλος didaskalos) like Jesus. Luke probably obtained valuable information from Philip and his daughters about these early days when in his home in Caesarea (Acts 21:8).
