Matthew 10

¹And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities.

²And the names of the twelve Apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

³James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,

⁴Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.

⁶But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁸Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.

⁹Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:

¹⁰Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.

¹¹And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.

¹²And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.

¹³And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

¹⁵Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹⁶Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.

¹⁷But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.

¹⁸And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles:

¹⁹But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak:

²⁰For it is not you that speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.

²¹The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son; and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death.

²²And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.

²³And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.

²⁴The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord.

²⁵It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the good man of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?

²⁶Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.

²⁷That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.

²⁸And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.

³⁰But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

³¹Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.

³²Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

³³But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

³⁴Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.

³⁵For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household.

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

³⁸And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you he shall not lose his reward.

Matthew 10

¹And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

³Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname was Thaddeus;

⁴Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

⁶But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁸Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

⁹Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

¹⁰Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

¹¹And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

¹²And when ye come into an house, salute it.

¹³And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹⁶Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹⁷But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

¹⁸And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

¹⁹But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

²⁰For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

²¹And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

²²And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

²³But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

²⁴The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

²⁵It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?

²⁶Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

²⁷What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

²⁸And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

³⁰But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

³¹Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

³²Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

³³But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

³⁴Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

³⁵For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.

³⁶And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.

³⁷He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

³⁸And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

⁴⁰He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.

⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
