< Matthew 10 >

1 And having summoned the twelve disciples of Him He gave to them authority over spirits unclean so as to cast out them and to heal every disease and every sickness.
Then He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over foul spirits, to drive them out; and to cure every kind of disease and infirmity.
2 And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first Simon who is being named Peter and Andrew the brother of him, (and *no*) James the [son] of Zebedee and John the brother of him,
Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;
3 Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the [son] of Alphaeus and (Lebbaeus which having been called *K*) Thaddaeus,
Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-gatherer, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Zealot and Judas (*no*) Iscariot the [one] also having betrayed Him.
Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
5 These twelve sent forth Jesus having instructed them saying; Into [the] way of the Gentiles not shall go off and into any city of [the] Samaritans not shall enter;
These twelve Jesus sent on a mission, after giving them their instructions: "Go not," He said, "among the Gentiles, and enter no Samaritan town;
6 do go however rather to those sheep the already perishing of [the] house of Israel.
but, instead of that, go to the lost sheep of Israel's race.
7 Going on also do proclaim saying that Has drawn near the kingdom of the heavens.
And as you go, preach and say, 'The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'
8 [Those] ailing do heal, dead do raise, lepers do cleanse, demons do cast out; freely you received, freely do give.
Cure the sick, raise the dead to life, cleanse lepers, drive out demons: you have received without payment, give without payment.
9 Neither may take along gold nor silver nor copper in the belts of you,
"Provide no gold, nor even silver nor copper to carry in your pockets;
10 nor provision-bag for [the] way nor [take] two tunics nor sandals nor a staff; worthy [is] for the workman of the provisions of him (is. *k*)
no bag for your journey, nor change of linen, nor shoes, nor stick; for the labourer deserves his food.
11 into whatever now when city or village you may enter, do inquire who in it worthy is and there and there do remain until when you may go forth.
"Whatever town or village you enter, inquire for some good man; and make his house your home till you leave the place.
12 Entering now into the house do greet it.
When you enter the house, salute it;
13 And if indeed shall be the house worthy, should come the peace of you upon it; only however unless it shall be worthy, the peace of you (to *NK(o)*) you should return.
and if the house deserves it, the peace you invoke shall come upon it. If not, your peace shall return to you.
14 And who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) unless shall receive you nor shall he hear the words of you, going forth out of the house or of the city that do shake off the dust of the feet of you!
And whoever refuses to receive you or even to listen to your Message, as you leave that house or town, shake off the very dust from your feet.
15 Amen I say to you; More tolerable it will be for [the] land of Sodom and of Gomorrah on day of judgment than the city for that.
I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.
16 Behold I myself send forth you as sheep in [the] midst of wolves; do be therefore shrewd as the serpents and innocent as the doves.
"Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.
17 do beware however of men; they will deliver for you into courts and in the synagogues of them they will flog you;
But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;
18 and before governors also and kings you will be brought on account of Me for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
and you will even be put on trial before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 When then (they may deliver up *N(k)O*) you, not may be anxious how or what you may speak; it will be given for you in that [very] hour what (you may say; *N(k)O*)
But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time it shall be given you what to say;
20 Not for you yourselves are [the] ones speaking but the Spirit of the Father of you who is speaking through you.
for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 Will deliver up now brother brother to death and father child; And will rise up children against parents and will put to death them.
Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.
22 And you will be hated by all on account of the name of Me; the [one] however having endured to [the] end, he will be saved.
And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End--he will be saved.
23 Whenever then they may persecute you in the city one, do flee to (a different; *N(k)O*) Amen for I say to you; certainly not shall you have completed the cities of Israel until when may come the Son of Man.
Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 Not is a disciple above the teacher nor [is] a servant above the master of him.
"The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant is never superior to his master.
25 [It is] sufficient for the disciple that he may become as the teacher of him and the servant as the master of him. If the master of the house Beelzebul (they called on, *N(k)O*) how much more those house members of him?
Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?
26 Not therefore do fear them; no [thing] for is concealed which not will be revealed or hidden which not will be known.
Fear them not, however; there is nothing veiled which will not be uncovered, nor secret which will not become known.
27 What I tell you in the darkness do speak in the light, and what in the ear you hear do proclaim upon the housetops!
What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.
28 And not (do be afraid *N(k)O*) of those killing the body, the however soul not being able to kill; (do be afraid *N(k)O*) however rather the [One] being able both (*o*) soul and (*o*) body to destroy in hell. (Geenna g1067)
"And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
29 Surely two sparrows for an assarion are sold? And one of them not will fall to the ground apart from the Father of you!
Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.
30 Of you now even the hairs of the head all numbered are.
But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.
31 Not therefore (do fear; *N(k)O*) than many sparrows are worth more you yourselves.
Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.
32 Everyone therefore who will confess in Me myself before men, will confess also I myself also I myself in him before the Father of Mine who [is] in (the *no*) heavens.
"Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.
33 Whoever now maybe may deny Me before men, will deny I myself also I myself also him before the Father of Mine who [is] in (the *no*) heavens.
But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before my Father who is in Heaven.
34 Not may you think that I came to bring peace to the earth; not I came to bring peace but a sword.
"Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth: I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35 I came for to set at variance A man against the father of him and a daughter against the mother of her and a daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law of her;
For I came to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 And enemies of the man the household of him.
and a man's own family will be his foes.
37 The [one] loving father or mother above Me myself not is of Me worthy, and the [one] loving son or daughter above Me myself not is of Me worthy;
Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;
38 And he who not takes the cross of him and follows after Me, not is of Me worthy.
and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.
39 The [one] having found the life of him will lose it and the [one] having lost the life of him on account of Me will find it.
To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my sake is to save it.
40 The [One] receiving you Me myself receives, and the [one] Me myself receiving he receives the [One] having sent Me.
"Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me.
41 The [one] receiving a prophet in [the] name of a prophet [the] reward of a prophet will receive, and the [one] receiving a righteous [man] in [the] name of a righteous [man] [the] reward of a righteous [man] will receive.
Every one who receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward, and every one who receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, will receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And who[ever] (maybe *N(k)O*) shall give to drink to one of the little ones of these a cup of cold [water] only in [the] name of a disciple, Amen I say to you; certainly not shall he lose the reward of him.
And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I solemnly tell you that he will not lose his reward."
