Matthew 10:24 is a verse in the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort this verse is:

Οὐκ ἔστι μαθητὴς ὑπὲρ τὸν διδάσκαλον, οὐδὲ δοῦλος ὑπὲρ τὸν κύριον αὐτοῦ.

In the King James Version of the Bible the text reads:

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

The New International Version translates the passage as:

"A student is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

Analysis

John MacEvilly points out that with this verse Christ encourages His disciples to endure persecutions, with His own example. And as disciples and servants, the apostles were not "to seek for greater honour and applause than the Master has."[1]
