Matthew 10
1 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 his twelve disciples, and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out, and to cure every disease and infirmity.
2 Now the names of the twelve emissaries are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; Jacob the son of Zebedee; Yochanan, his brother;
Now, of the twelve apostles the names are these: the first of them, Shemun who is called Kipha, and Andreas his brother, and Jakubbar-Zabdai, and Juchanon his brother,
3 Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; Jacob the son of Halfai; Labbai, who was also called Taddai;
and Philipos, and Bar-Tholmai, and Thoma, and Mathai the tribute-gatherer, and Jakubbar-Chalphai, and Labi who was surnamed Thadai,
4 Simon the Zealot; and Judah Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
and Shemun the zealous, and Jihuda S'carjuta, he who betrayed him.
5 Yeshua sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.
These twelve Jeshu sent, and commanded them and said, In the way of the heathens go not, and into the city of the Shomroyee do not enter;
6 Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
but go rather unto the sheep which have perished from the house of Isroel.
7 As you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’
And as you go, proclaim and say that the kingdom of heaven hath drawn near.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
The diseased heal, the lepers cleanse, the dead raise, and the demons cast forth. Freely you have received, freely give.
9 Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
nor a wallet for the road; neither two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff: for worthy is the workman of his meat.
11 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 you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and there be till you depart.
12 As you enter into the household, greet it.
And when you enter into the house, invoke peace for the house;
13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.
and if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace upon yourselves shall revert.
14 Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.
But whosoever doth not receive you or hear your words, when you depart from that house, or that town, set free the dust from your feet.
15 Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
And, Amen, I say unto you, that for the land of Sadum and of Amura it will be more tolerable, in the day of the judgment, than for that city.
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
LO, I send you forth as sheep among wolves: be you, therefore, wise as serpents and guileless as doves.
17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
But beware of the sons of men; for, delivering you to the house of judgments, in their synagogues they will scourge you,
18 Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
and before governors and kings bring you, on my account, for the testimony concerning them and the gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.
But when they deliver you up, be not solicitous how or what you shall speak; for it is given you in that hour what you shall speak.
20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
21 “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.
But the brother shall deliver his brother unto death, and the father his son; and the sons shall rise up against their fathers, and shall slay them.
22 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
And you shall be abhorred by all men on account of my name: but he who shall persevere until the end, he shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
When they persecute you in this city, escape to the other; for, Amen I say unto you, that you shall not have completed all the cities of the house of Isroel, till the Son of man shall come.
24 “A disciple is not above his rabbi, nor a servant above his lord.
The disciple is not greater than his master, nor the servant than his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!
It sufficeth the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If the master of the house they have called Beelzebub, how much more his house-sons!
26 Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
You shall not fear, therefore, from them; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, nor secret which shall not be 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.
Whatsoever I say to you in darkness, declare you in the light; and whatsoever you have heard in your ears, proclaim upon the roofs.
28 Don’t 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 Gehinnom. (Geenna g1067)
And fear not them who kill the body, but the soul cannot kill; but fear rather One who the soul and the body can destroy in gihano. (Geenna g1067)
29 “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
Are not two sparrows sold for an asor? yet one of them, without your Father, doth not fall upon the earth.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
But of you, also, the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.
Fear not, therefore; than many sparrows more precious are you.
32 Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
Every man, therefore, who shall confess me before the sons of men, I myself will confess him also before my Father who is in heaven.
33 But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before the sons of men, I also will deny him, I, before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.
EXPECT not that I have come to send forth peace on the earth; I have not come to send forth peace, but the sword.
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 have come to cause a man to separate from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a daughter-in-law from her mother-in-law;
36 A man’s foes will be those of his own household.
and the adversaries of a man (to be) his own house-sons.
37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.
Whosoever loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy (of) me; and whosoever loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy (of) me.
38 He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.
And every one who taketh not his cross and cometh after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
Whosoever will find his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.
40 “He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
Whosoever receiveth you, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, Him who sent me he receiveth.
41 He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
Whosoever entertaineth a prophet in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet receiveth. Whosoever entertaineth a just man in the name of a just man, the reward of the just man he receiveth.
42 Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
And whosoever only giveth one of these little ones a cup of cold (waters) to drink in the name of a disciple, Amen, I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
