He that hears you hears me; and he that despises you despises me; and he that despises me despises him that sent me.
All Commentaries on Luke 10:16 Go To Luke 10
Irenaeus of Lyons
AD 202
For the Lord of all gave to His apostles the power of the Gospel, through whom also we have known the truth, that is, the doctrine of the Son of God; to whom also did the Lord declare: "He that heareth you, heareth Me; and he that despiseth you, despiseth Me, and Him that sent Me."
