Luke 10:16 (KJV)

Commentary on Luke 10:16

Jesus tells the seventy: 'He that heareth you heareth me; and he that despiseth you despiseth me; and he that despiseth me despiseth him that sent me.' This establishes apostolic authority—reception or rejection of Jesus' messengers equals reception or rejection of Jesus Himself, and ultimately God the Father. The Greek 'athetōn' (ἀθετῶν, despiseth/rejects) means to set aside, nullify, treat as invalid. Rejecting Christ's ambassadors rejects Christ; rejecting Christ rejects God. This validates gospel messengers' authority while warning those who reject them.
