Matthew 10
10:1And having called on his twelve disciples, he gave to them authority of unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every infirmity.
10:2And of the twelve apostles, the names are these; first Simon the one being called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
10:3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus the one called Thaddaeus;
10:4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, the one also having delivered him up.
10:5These twelve Jesus sent, exhorting them, saying, Unto the way of the nations you should not go forth, and unto a city of Samaritans you should not enter.
10:6But you go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel!
10:7And going, proclaim! saying that, The kingdom of the heavens approaches.
10:8Ones being weak cure! Dead raise up! Leprous cleanse! Demons cast out! Freely you received, freely you give!
10:9You should not acquire gold, nor silver, nor brass coin in your belts,
10:10nor a provision bag for the way, nor two inner garments, nor sandals, nor rods; for the worker is worth his provision.
10:11And into whatever city or town you should enter, inquire diligently who in it is worthy, and there remain until whenever you should go forth!
10:12And entering into the house, greet it!
10:13And if indeed the house might be worthy, let your peace come upon it! But if it might not be worthy, let your peace return to you!
10:14And who ever should not receive you, nor should hear your words, in going forth from the residence or that city, shake off the dust of your feet!
10:15Amen I say to you, More endurable will it be to the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than to that city.
10:16Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be then skilled as the serpents, and unmixed as the doves!
10:17And take heed of the men! for they shall deliver you unto sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they shall whip you.
10:18And before governors also and kings you shall be led because of me, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
10:19And whenever they deliver you, be not anxious how or what you should speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what you should speak;
10:20for you are not the ones speaking, but the spirit of your father, the one speaking in you.
10:21But brother shall deliver up brother unto death, and a father a child. And children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death.
10:22And you will be detested by all on account of my name. But the one remaining unto completion, this one shall be delivered.
10:23But whenever they should persecute you in this city, flee unto the other! For amen I say to you, In no way should you finish the cities of Israel, until whenever the son of man should come.
10:24A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.
10:25Sufficient to the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If they invoked Beelzebub the master of the house, how much more the ones of his house?
10:26You should not then fear them; for nothing is being covered, which shall not be uncovered; and hidden, which shall not be known.
10:27What I say to you in the darkness, you speak in the light! and what in the ear you hear, proclaim upon the roofs!
10:28And fear not of the ones killing the body, but not being able to kill the soul! But you fear rather the one being able both the soul and body to destroy in Gehenna!
10:29Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? and one of them shall not fall upon the earth without your father.
10:30But you, even the hairs of the head are all counted.
10:31Do not then fear! you differ than many sparrows.
10:32Every one then whoever shall acknowledge being mine before men, I shall acknowledge, even myself, him before my father, of the one in heavens.
10:33And whoever should deny me before the men, I shall deny him, even myself, before my father, the one in the heavens.
10:34You should not think that I came to cast peace upon the earth; I came not to cast peace, but a sword.
10:35For I came to cleave a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
10:36and the enemies of the man are the ones of his own house.
10:37The one being fond of a father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and the one being fond of a son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me.
10:38And the one who does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
10:39The one finding his life, shall lose it; and the one losing his life, because of me, shall find it.
10:40The one receiving you, receives me; and the one receiving me, receives the one sending me.
10:41The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a wage of a prophet; and the one receiving a just one in the name of a just one, shall receive a wage of a just one.
10:42And who ever shall give a drink to one of these small ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, In no way shall he lose his wage.
