By “cities of Israel” (Matthew 10:23) he also means the assemblies of the faithful, which last until the consummation of the age. Teachers and learners do not cease until the Lord’s second appearing. And the disciples and evangelists seem to live until then, since from their writings all teach.

Greek

13 Πόλεις δὲ τοῦ Ἰσραήλ φησι καὶ τῶν πιστῶν τὰ συστήματα, ἅτινα ἕως τῆς συντελείας τοῦ αἰῶνός εἰσιν καὶ οὐ παύονται οἱ διδάσκον τες καὶ οἱ διδασκόμενοι ἕως τῆς δευτέρας ἐπιφανείας τοῦ κυρίου. καὶ δοκοῦσι ζῆν ἕως τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ καὶ εὐαγγελισταὶ ἐπείπερ ἐκ τῶν συγ γραμμάτων αὐτῶν ἅπαντες διδάσκουσιν.
