Matthew 10
1 And whanne his twelue disciplis weren clepid togidere, he yaf to hem powere of vnclene spiritis, to caste hem out of men, and to heele eueri langour, and sijknesse.
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.
2 And these ben the names of the twelue apostlis; the firste, Symount, that is clepid Petre, and Andrew, his brothir; James of Zebede, and Joon, his brothir; Filip, and Bartholomeu;
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;
3 Thomas, and Matheu, pupplican; and James Alfey, and Tadee;
Philip, and Bartholomew, —Thomas, and Matthew, the tax-collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thadaeus;
4 Symount Chananee, and Judas Scarioth, that bitrayede Crist.
Simon, the zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up.
5 Jhesus sente these twelue, and comaundide hem, and seide, Go ye not `in to the weie of hethene men, and entre ye not in to the citees of Samaritans;
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;
6 but rather go ye to the scheep of the hous of Israel, that han perischid.
But be going, rather, unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And go ye, and preche ye, and seie, that the kyngdam of heuenes shal neiye;
And, as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near!
8 heele ye sike men, reise ye deede men, clense ye mesels, caste ye out deuelis; freeli ye han takun, freli yyue ye.
Be curing, the sick, raising, the dead, —cleansing, lepers, casting out, demons: freely, ye have, received, freely, give.
9 Nyle ye welde gold, nether siluer, ne money in youre girdlis, not a scrippe in the weie,
Ye may procure—neither gold, nor silver, nor copper, for your belts, —
10 nether twei cootis, nethir shoon, nether a yerde; for a werkman is worthi his mete.
neither satchel for journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his maintenance.
11 In to what euere citee or castel ye schulen entre, axe ye who therynne is worthi, and there dwelle ye, til ye go out.
And, into whatsoever city or village ye enter, search out who in it is, worthy, and, there, abide, till ye go forth.
12 And whanne ye goon in to an hous, `grete ye it, and seyn, Pees to this hous.
And, as ye enter the house, salute it;
13 And if thilk hous be worthi, youre pees schal come on it; but if that hous be not worthi, youre pees schal turne ayen to you.
And, if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it, but, if it be not worthy, let your peace, unto you, return.
14 And who euere resseyueth not you, nethir herith youre wordis, go ye fro that hous or citee, and sprenge of the dust of youre feet.
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:
15 Treuly Y seie to you, it shal be more suffrable to the loond of men of Sodom and of Gommor in the dai of iugement, than to thilke citee.
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!
16 Lo! Y sende you as scheep in the myddil of wolues; therfor be ye sliy as serpentis, and symple as dowues.
Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore—prudent, as serpents, and simple, as doves.
17 But be ye war of men, for thei schulen take you in counseilis, and thei schulen bete you in her synagogis;
But beware of men; for they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you, —
18 and to meyris, or presidentis, and to kyngis, ye schulen be lad for me, in witnessyng to hem, and to the hethen men.
And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake—for a witness to them and the nations.
19 But whanne thei take you, nyle ye thenke, hou or what thing ye schulen speke, for it shal be youun `to you in that our, what ye schulen speke;
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;
20 for it ben not ye that speken, but the spirit of youre fadir, that spekith in you.
For it is not, ye, who are speaking, but, the Spirit of your Father, that is speaking in you.
21 `And the brother shal take the brother in to deeth, and the fader the sone, and sones schulen rise ayens fadir and modir, and schulen turmente hem bi deeth.
And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child, —and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death.
22 And ye schulen be in hate to alle men for my name; but he that shall dwelle stille in to the ende, shal be saaf.
And ye will be hated by all, because of my name, —but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall be saved.
23 And whanne thei pursuen you in this citee, fle ye in to anothir. Treuli Y seie to you, ye schulen not ende the citees of Israel, to for that mannus sone come.
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.
24 The disciple is not aboue the maistir, ne the seruaunt aboue hys lord;
A, disciple, is not above, the teacher, nor, a servant, above, his lord:
25 it is ynowy to the disciple, that he be as his maistir, and to the seruaunt as his lord. If thei han clepid the hosebonde man Belsabub, hou myche more his houshold meyne?
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!
26 Therfor drede ye not hem; for no thing is hid, that schal not be shewid; and no thing is priuey, that schal not be wist.
Then do not fear them, —for, nothing hath been covered, which shall not be, uncovered, and, hidden, which shall not be, made known.
27 That thing that Y seie to you in derknessis, seie ye in the liyt; and preche ye on housis, that thing that ye heeren in the ere.
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.
28 And nyle ye drede hem that sleen the bodi; for thei moun not sle the soule; but rather drede ye hym, that mai lese bothe soule and bodi in to helle. (Geenna g1067)
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)
29 Whether twei sparewis ben not seeld for an halpeny? and oon of hem shal not falle on the erthe with outen youre fadir.
Are not, two sparrows, for a farthing, sold? And, one from among them, shall not fall upon the ground, without your Father;
30 `And alle the heeris of youre heed ben noumbrid.
But, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.
31 Therfor nyle ye drede; ye ben betere than many sparewis.
Then be not in fear—than many sparrows, better are, ye!
32 Therfor euery man that schal knouleche me bifore men, Y schal knouleche hym bifor my fadir that is in heuenes.
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens;
33 But he that shal denye me bifor men, and I shal denye him bifor my fadir that is in heuenes.
But, whoever shall deny me before men, I also, will deny, him, before my Father who is in the heavens.
34 Nile ye deme, that Y cam to sende pees in to erthe; Y cam not to sende pees, but swerd.
Do not think, that I came to thrust peace upon the earth, —I came not to thrust, peace, but, a sword;
35 For Y cam to departe a man ayens his fadir, and the douytir ayens hir modir, and the sones wijf ayens the housbondis modir;
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;
36 and the enemyes of a man ben `thei, that ben homeli with him.
And, a man foes, are, they of his own house.
37 He that loueth fadir or modir more than me, is not worthi to me. And he that loueth sone or douyter ouer me, is not worthi to me.
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;
38 And he that takith not his croos, and sueth me, is not worthi to me.
And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me.
39 He that fyndith his lijf, shal lose it; and he that lesith his lijf for me, shal fynde it.
He that hath found his life, shall lose it, —and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.
40 He that resseyueth you, resseyueth me; and he that resseyueth me, resseyueth hym that sente me.
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.
41 He that resseyueth a prophete in the name of a prophete, shal take the mede of a prophete. And he that resseyueth a iust man in the name of a iust man, schal take the mede of a iust man.
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; —
42 And who euer yyueth drynke to oon of these leeste a cuppe of coolde watir oonli in the name of a disciple, treuli Y seie to you, he shal not leese his mede.
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!
