He that receiveth a prophet--one divinely commissioned to deliver a message from heaven. Predicting future events was no necessary part of a prophet's office, especially as the word is used in the New Testament. in the name of a prophet--for his office's sake and love to his master. (See Kg2 4:9 and see on Kg2 4:10). shall receive a prophet's reward--What an encouragement to those who are not prophets! (See Joh 3:5-8). and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man--from sympathy with his character and esteem for himself as such shall receive a righteous man's reward--for he must himself have the seed of righteousness who has any real sympathy with it and complacency in him who possesses it.
