Clarke's Matthew 10:40 Bible Commentary
He that receiveth you - Treats you kindly, receiveth me; I will consider the kindness as shown to myself; for he who receiveth me, as the true Messiah, receiveth that God by whose counsels and through whose love I am come.
Barnes's Matthew 10:40 Bible Commentary
He that receiveth you ... - In all these three illustrations Christ meant to teach substantially the same thing - that he that would entertain kindly or treat with hospitality himself, his disciples, a prophet, or a righteous man, would show that he approved their character, and should not fail of proper reward. To receive in the "name" of a prophet is to receive "as" a prophet; to do proper honour to his character, and to evince attachment to the cause in which he was engaged.
Wesley's Matthew 10:40 Bible Commentary
10:40 Mt 18:5; Luke 10:16; John 13:20.
