Clarke's Commentary on the Bible

Whosoever shall deny me - Whosoever prefers his worldly interest to his duty to God, sets a greater value on earthly than on heavenly things, and prefers the friendship of men to the approbation of God.

Geneva Study Bible

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

People's New Testament

10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men. The Jews denied him when they rejected him as Messiah. All who refuse to receive him as their Lord deny him still. The disciple who, through the cares of the world, turns away from Christian life, denies him.

Him will I also deny. Those who receive him will be received; those who reject him will be rejected; those who confess him will be confessed, and those who deny him, denied. See 2Ti 2:12.

Wesley's Notes

10:33-34 Whosoever shall deny me before men - To which ye will be strongly tempted. For Think not that I am come - That is, think not that universal peace will be the immediate consequence of my coming. Just the contrary. Both public and private divisions will follow, wheresoever my Gospel comes with power. Ye - this is not the design, though it be the event of his coming, through the opposition of devils and men. Luke 12:51.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

33. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven-before that same assembly: "He shall have from Me his own treatment of Me on the earth." (But see on [1258]Mt 16:27).
