In the context of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is building upon His previous statements about the Law and the Prophets. The Greek word "οὖν" (oun) is often used to draw a logical conclusion, indicating that what follows is a direct consequence of what has been previously stated. It emphasizes the importance of the teachings that Jesus is about to expound upon.whoever breaks The Greek word for "breaks" is "λύσῃ" (lysē), which means to loosen, dissolve, or set aside. This implies not just a passive neglect but an active decision to disregard or undermine the commandments. In a historical context, this would have been a serious charge, as the Jewish audience of Jesus' time held the Law in high regard. The act of breaking even the smallest commandment is seen as a significant moral and spiritual failure.one of the least of these commandments The phrase "least of these commandments" suggests a hierarchy within the commandments, where some might be perceived as less significant. However, Jesus challenges this notion by emphasizing that even the smallest commandment holds great importance. The term "least" (ἐλαχίστων, elachistōn) underscores the comprehensive nature of God's Law, where every part is integral to the whole. This reflects the Jewish understanding of the Torah, where every commandment is a reflection of God's will.and teaches others to do likewise Teaching others to break commandments compounds the offense. The Greek word "διδάξῃ" (didaxē) implies a formal instruction or guidance. In the cultural context of Jesus' time, teachers held significant influence and responsibility. Thus, leading others astray by teaching them to disregard God's commandments is a grave matter. This highlights the responsibility of leaders and teachers within the Christian community to uphold and transmit the truth of God's Word faithfully.will be called least in the kingdom of heaven Being "called least" in the kingdom of heaven suggests a diminished status or recognition. The kingdom of heaven, in this context, refers to the reign and rule of God, both in the present spiritual sense and the future eschatological fulfillment. The phrase underscores the principle that earthly actions have eternal consequences. It serves as a warning that those who undermine God's commandments will face a loss of honor and reward in God's kingdom.but whoever practices and teaches them The contrast here is between those who break and teach others to break the commandments and those who practice and teach them. The Greek word for "practices" is "ποιήσῃ" (poiēsē), which means to do or to make. It implies an active, ongoing commitment to living out the commandments. Teaching (διδάξῃ, didaxē) in this positive sense involves guiding others in truth and righteousness. This dual commitment to practice and teach reflects the holistic nature of discipleship in the Christian life.will be called great in the kingdom of heaven Being "called great" signifies honor and recognition in God's kingdom. This greatness is not measured by worldly standards but by faithfulness to God's commandments. The phrase emphasizes the eternal value of obedience and the teaching of God's Word. It serves as an encouragement to believers to remain steadfast in their commitment to God's truth, knowing that their faithfulness will be rewarded in the kingdom of heaven.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/5.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(19) Shall break one of these least commandments.--The words seem at first to imply that even the ceremonial law was to be binding in its full extent upon Christ's disciples. The usage of the time, however, confined the word to the moral laws of God (as in <a href="//apocrypha.org/ecclesiasticus/32-23.htm" title="In every good work trust thy own soul; for this is the keeping of the commandments.">Ecclesiasticus 32:23-24</a>), and throughout the New Testament it is never used in any other sense, with the possible exception of <a href="/hebrews/7-5.htm" title="And truly they that are of the sons of Levi, who receive the office of the priesthood, have a commandment to take tithes of the people according to the law, that is, of their brothers, though they come out of the loins of Abraham:">Hebrews 7:5</a>; <a href="/hebrews/7-16.htm" title="Who is made, not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life.">Hebrews 7:16</a> (comp. especially <a href="/romans/13-9.htm" title="For this, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, You shall not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, You shall love your neighbor as yourself.">Romans 13:9</a>; <a href="/1_corinthians/7-19.htm" title="Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of God.">1Corinthians 7:19</a>). And the context, which proceeds at once to deal with moral laws and does not touch on ceremonial, is in accordance with this meaning. The "least commandments," then, are those which seemed trivial, yet were really great--the control of thoughts, desires, words, as compared with the apparently greater commands that dealt with acts. The reference to "teaching" shows that our Lord was speaking to His disciples, as the future instructors of mankind, and the obvious import of His words is that they were to raise, not lower, the standard of righteousness which had been recognised previously.Shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven.--The consequence of tampering with the great laws of duty, or the least laws, which are practically great, is described in terms at once severe and gentle; gentle, because the sentence, where the guilt is not wilful, or is repented of, is not one of absolute exclusion from the kingdom; severe in so far as being the "least" in that kingdom, the object of pity or sorrow to others, involved a severe humiliation to those who aimed at being the highest. To that condemnation many in every age of the Church have been liable, the Anthiomian fanatic and the Jesuit casuist standing so far on the same footing. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/5.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 19. - Matthew only. As Christ honoured the Law (ver. 17) so are his disciples to honour it. Whosoever therefore. Seeing that every part of the Law is of permanent value. In this verse our Lord once for all declares his opposition to antinomianism. Every one of the commands in the Law is, in its true and ideal meaning, still binding. Shall break (λύσῃ). Not merely in contrast to "do" (ποιήσῃ vide infra) in the sense of "transgress" (Fritzsche), but "abrogate" (cf. Bishop Westcott, on <a href="/john/5-18.htm">John 5:18</a>, "Not the violation of the sanctity of the day in a special case, but the abrogation of the duty of observance;" cf. also <a href="/matthew/16-19.htm">Matthew 16:19</a>; <a href="/matthew/18-18.htm">Matthew 18:18</a>; <a href="/1_john/3-8.htm">1 John 3:8</a>). It expresses, indeed, a less complete abrogation than καταλῦσαι (ver. 17), because, while speaking of himself, the Lord could use the strongest word possible, and that with reference to the whole Law or the Prophets; but here his expression is limited by the inability of any individual disciple to carry out an abrogation even of one command. One of these least commandments. Not necessarily such as the Pharisees reckoned least, in their enumeration of small and great, but such as our Lord himself symbolized by "jot" or "tittle;" those precepts which in reality are the least important (Meyer). Chrysostom strangely says that our Lord here refers, not to old laws, but to those which he was about to lay down; similarly Bengel thinks of vers. 22-28, etc. While the Jews distinguished carefully between small and great precepts, they insisted on the importance of keeping even the smallest; cf. 'Ab.,' 4:5 (Taylor), "Hasten to a slight precept.., for the reward of precept is precept." And shall teach men so. Doing his best to abrogate it, not only in his own person by neglect or violation, but also for others by teaching them to disregard it. He shall be called the least. The Revised Version omits "he, .... the." He is not cast out of the kingdom ("Ubi nisi magni esse non possunt," Augustine), but his want of moral insight (did he consider it "breadth of thought"?) leads to his being called least in the kingdom. It is the converse of the parable in <a href="/luke/19-17.htm">Luke 19:17</a>, etc. There faithfulness in a very little (ἐλαχίστῳ) wins much; here disregard of a very little causes a person to be reckoned (ver. 9, note) as very little - the principle of judgment being that of <a href="/luke/16-10.htm">Luke 16:10</a>, "He that is faithful in a very little is faithful also in much; and he that is unrighteous in avery little is unrighteous also in much." In the kingdom of heaven; i.e. probably in its full and final establishment. The doctrine of grades of blessedness and of punishment hereafter is clearly taught in Scripture (e.g. <a href="/luke/12-47.htm">Luke 12:47, 48</a>). But whosoever shall do and teach them. Similarly the Revised Version; but rather supply "it," i.e. "that which is required in the smallest commandment" (Meyer). The personal performance and conscious spreading of one of the least commandments will be found to involve so much that it gains for the person a high position. Do and teach. For many will perform a command without taking any conscious part in spreading it. The same; Revised Version, he (οῦτος). Why inserted here and not in the previous clause? Partly because of the awkwardness of inserting οῦτος there so soon after οὕτως; partly because our Lord wished to lay stress there on the recompense, here on the person ("he and no other") who receives recompense. On the thought, cf. 'Test. XII. Parr.' (Levi., § 13), "If he teach these things and practise them, he shall share the throne of the king, as also Joseph our brother." It is worth adding Tyndale's remark in his 'Exposition,' "Whosoever shall first fulfil them [these least commandments following] himself, and then teach other, and set all his study to the furtherance and maintaining of them, that doctor shall all they of the kingdom of heaven have in price, and follow him and seek him out, as doth an eagle her prey, and cleave to him as burrs." <a href="/commentaries/matthew/5-19.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>So then, οὖν (oun) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3767.htm">Strong's 3767: </a> Therefore, then.
