Matthew 10
1 And he called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
And He called unto Him his twelve disciples, and gave them power over impure spirits, even to cast them out; and to cure all diseases and every malady whatsoever.
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew;
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;

5 Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the non-Jews, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not among the gentiles, neither enter into any city of the Samaritans:
6 Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
but go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as you go, proclaim, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is near.'
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand: and in confirmation of your doctrine heal the sick,
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
cleanse the leprous, raise the dead, cast out demons; and as ye have received freely, freely give.
9 Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor copper in your money belts.
Take not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses: take no bag for your journey,
10 Take no bag for your journey, neither two tunics, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
nor two coats, nor shoes, nor weapons; for the laborer is worthy of his food.
11 And into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
And into whatsoever city or town ye enter, inquire who in it is a worthy person, and there remain till ye leave the place.
12 And as you enter into the household, greet it.
And when ye come into the house, salute them:
13 And if the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
and if the family be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if they be not worthy, your salutation shall return to you.
14 And whoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you leave that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hearken to your words; when ye come out of that house or city, shake off the very dust of your feet:
15 Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
for I tell you verily, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha, in the day of judgement, than for that city.
16 "Look, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be cunning as snakes and innocent as doves.
Behold I send you forth as sheep into the midst of wolves: be ye therefore prudent as serpents, and innocent as doves.
17 But beware of people: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
Beware of evil men; for they will deliver you up to their councils, and will scourge you in their synagogues.
18 Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
And ye shall be brought before governors and kings on my account, for a testimony to them and to the nations:
19 But when they deliver you over, do not be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
but when they take you up, be not sollicitous how, or what ye shall say; for ye shall be taught in that very instant what ye shall speak: for it is not you that speak,
20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh by you.
21 "And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
Brother shall betray his brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death:
22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
and ye shall be hated by all men for professing my name; but he that perseveres to the end shall certainly be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in one city, flee to the other. And if they persecute you in the other, flee to the next. For truly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
But when they persecute you in one city, flee into another: for verily I tell you, ye shall not finish your commission through the cities of Israel, before the Son of man shall come.
24 "A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord:
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household.
it is sufficient sure for the disciple that he be treated as his master, and the servant as his lord. If then they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
26 Therefore do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed; and hidden that will not be known.
Be not therefore afraid of them; for there is nothing hid, that shall not be revealed; nor secret, that shall not be made known.
27 What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
What I say to you in private, declare ye in public: and what ye hear as in the ear, preach ye as from the house-tops.
28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
And be not afraid of them, who can only kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear Him, who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 "Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father's will,
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall to the ground without the will of your Father:
30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
and even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Therefore do not be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Therefore be not afraid, ye are of more worth than many sparrows.
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before people, him I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Whosoever then shall own me before men, I also will own him before my Father, who is in heaven:
33 But whoever denies me before people, him I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
but whosoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father who is in heaven.
34 "Do not think that I came to send peace on the earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to bring peace but division.
35 For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
For 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:
36 And a person's foes will be those of his own household.
and those of a man's own family shall be his enemies.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
He 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:
38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
and he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 Whoever seeks his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
He that would save his life shall lose it; and he, that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.
40 Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me.
41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward.
He that receiveth a prophet as a prophet, shall have a prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man as such, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward."
And whosoever shall give to one of these mean persons but a cup of cold water to drink, as my disciple, I assure you, he shall not lose his reward.
