Matthew 10
1 And, calling near his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over impure spirits, —so as to be casting them out, and curing every disease and every infirmity.
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 twelve apostles’ names, are these: —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 Thadaeus;
Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;

5 These twelve, Jesus sent forth, charging them, saying: —Into any way to the nations, do not depart, —and, into any city of Samaritans, do not enter;
These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not among the gentiles, neither enter into any city of the Samaritans:
6 But be going, rather, unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
but go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And, as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near!
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand: and in confirmation of your doctrine heal the sick,
8 Be curing, the sick, raising, the dead, —cleansing, lepers, casting out, demons: freely, ye have, received, freely, give.
cleanse the leprous, raise the dead, cast out demons; and as ye have received freely, freely give.
9 Ye may procure—neither gold, nor silver, nor copper, for your belts, —
Take not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses: take no bag for your journey,
10 neither satchel for journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his maintenance.
nor two coats, nor shoes, nor weapons; for the laborer is worthy of his food.
11 And, into whatsoever city or village ye enter, search out who in it is, worthy, and, there, abide, till ye go forth.
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 ye enter the house, salute it;
And when ye come into the house, salute them:
13 And, if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it, but, if it be not worthy, let your peace, unto you, return.
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, whosoever shall neither welcome you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth outside that house or city, shake off the dust of 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 Verily, I say unto you, —More tolerable, will it be, for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha 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 Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore—prudent, as serpents, and simple, 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 men; for they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you, —
Beware of evil men; for they will deliver you up to their councils, and will scourge you in their synagogues.
18 And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake—for a witness to them and the nations.
And ye shall be brought before governors and kings on my account, for a testimony to them and to the nations:
19 And, when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak, —for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
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, ye, who are speaking, but, the Spirit of your Father, that is speaking in you.
but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh by you.
21 And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child, —and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them 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 ye will be hated by all, because of my name, —but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall 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 And, when they persecute you in this city, flee into another, —for, verily, I say unto you, in nowise shall ye finish the cities of Israel, till, he Son of Man, come.
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 Sufficient for the disciple, that he become, as his teacher, and, the servant, as, his lord. If, the master of the house, Beelzebul, they called, how much more, the men of his house!
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 Then do not fear them, —for, nothing hath been covered, which shall not be, uncovered, and, hidden, which shall not be, made 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 am saying to you in the darkness, tell ye in the light, —and, what [whispered] into the ear ye are hearing, proclaim ye 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 be not in fear, by reason of them that are killing the body, —and, the soul, are not able to kill. But fear, rather, him who is able, both soul and body, to destroy in gehenna! (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, for a farthing, sold? And, one from among them, shall not fall upon the ground, without your Father;
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, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.
and even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Then be not in fear—than many sparrows, better are, ye!
Therefore be not afraid, ye are of more worth than many sparrows.
32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens;
Whosoever then shall own me before men, I also will own him before my Father, who is in heaven:
33 But, whoever shall deny me before men, I also, will deny, him, before my Father who is in the heavens.
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 thrust peace upon the earth, —I came not to thrust, 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 at variance—a man, against, his father, and, a daughter, against, her mother, and, a bride, 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 man foes, are, they of his own house.
and those of a man's own family shall be his enemies.
37 He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me, —and, he that loveth son or daughter above 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, he that doth 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 He that hath found his life, shall lose it, —and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.
He that would save his life shall lose it; and he, that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.
40 He that giveth welcome unto you, unto me, giveth welcome, and, he that, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome—unto him that sent me forth.
He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth Him that sent me.
41 He that giveth welcome unto a prophet, in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet, shall receive; and, he that giveth welcome unto a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, the reward of a righteous man, shall receive; —
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, 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, in nowise, shall 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.
