Κατα Ματθαιον 10
1 και προσκαλεσαμενος τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου εδωκεν αυτοις εξουσιαν πνευματων ακαθαρτων ωστε εκβαλλειν αυτα και θεραπευειν πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν
Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out, and to heal all kinds of disease and all kinds of sickness.
2 των δε δωδεκα αποστολων τα ονοματα εισιν ταυτα πρωτος σιμων ο λεγομενος πετρος και ανδρεας ο αδελφος αυτου ιακωβος ο του ζεβεδαιου και ιωαννης ο αδελφος αυτου
Now the names of the twelve apostles were these. The first, Simon (whom he also called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 φιλιππος και βαρθολομαιος θωμας και ματθαιος ο τελωνης ιακωβος ο του αλφαιου και λεββαιος ο επικληθεις θαδδαιος
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 σιμων ο κανανιτης και ιουδας ο ισκαριωτης ο και παραδους αυτον
Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who would betray him.
5 τουτους τους δωδεκα απεστειλεν ο ιησους παραγγειλας αυτοις λεγων εις οδον εθνων μη απελθητε και εις πολιν σαμαρειτων μη εισελθητε
These twelve Jesus sent out. He instructed them and said, “Do not go to any place where Gentiles live, and do not enter any town of the Samaritans.
6 πορευεσθε δε μαλλον προς τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ
Go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel;
7 πορευομενοι δε κηρυσσετε λεγοντες οτι ηγγικεν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
and as you go, preach and say, 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.'
8 ασθενουντας θεραπευετε λεπρους καθαριζετε [ νεκρους εγειρετε ] δαιμονια εκβαλλετε δωρεαν ελαβετε δωρεαν δοτε
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
9 μη κτησησθε χρυσον μηδε αργυρον μηδε χαλκον εις τας ζωνας υμων
Do not carry any gold, silver, or copper in your purses.
10 μη πηραν εις οδον μηδε δυο χιτωνας μηδε υποδηματα μηδε ραβδον αξιος γαρ εστιν ο εργατης της τροφης αυτου
Do not take a traveling bag for your journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals, or a staff, for a laborer deserves his food.
11 εις ην δ αν πολιν η κωμην εισελθητε εξετασατε τις εν αυτη αξιος εστιν κακει μεινατε εως αν εξελθητε
Whatever city or village you enter, find who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave.
12 εισερχομενοι δε εις την οικιαν ασπασασθε αυτην λεγοντες ειρηνη τω οικω τουτω
As you enter into the house, greet it.
13 και εαν μεν η η οικια αξια ελθετω η ειρηνη υμων επ αυτην εαν δε μη η αξια η ειρηνη υμων προς υμας επιστραφητω
If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace come back to you.
14 και ος εαν μη δεξηται υμας μηδε ακουση τους λογους υμων εξερχομενοι εξω της οικιας η της πολεως εκεινης εκτιναξατε τον κονιορτον των ποδων υμων
As for those who do not receive you or listen to your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
15 αμην λεγω υμιν ανεκτοτερον εσται γη σοδομων και γομορρας εν ημερα κρισεως η τη πολει εκεινη
Truly I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 ιδου εγω αποστελλω υμας ως προβατα εν μεσω λυκων γινεσθε ουν φρονιμοι ως οι οφεις και ακεραιοι ως αι περιστεραι
See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
17 προσεχετε δε απο των ανθρωπων παραδωσουσιν γαρ υμας εις συνεδρια και εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων μαστιγωσουσιν υμας
Watch out for people! They will deliver you up to councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues.
18 και επι ηγεμονας δε και βασιλεις αχθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εις μαρτυριον αυτοις και τοις εθνεσιν
Then you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
19 οταν δε παραδωσουσιν υμας μη μεριμνησητε πως η τι λαλησετε δοθησεται γαρ υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τι λαλησετε
When they deliver you up, do not be anxious about how or what you will speak, for what to say will be given to you in that hour.
20 ου γαρ υμεις εστε οι λαλουντες αλλα το πνευμα του πατρος υμων το λαλουν εν υμιν
For it is not you who will speak, but the Spirit of your Father who will speak in you.
21 παραδωσει δε αδελφος αδελφον εις θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεις και θανατωσουσιν αυτους
Brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise up against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
22 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
You will be hated by everyone because of my name. But whoever endures to the end, that person will be saved.
23 οταν δε διωκωσιν υμας εν τη πολει ταυτη φευγετε εις την αλλην αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν ου μη τελεσητε τας πολεις του ισραηλ εως αν ελθη ο υιος του ανθρωπου
When they persecute you in this city, flee to the next, for truly I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man has come.
24 ουκ εστιν μαθητης υπερ τον διδασκαλον ουδε δουλος υπερ τον κυριον αυτου
A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 αρκετον τω μαθητη ινα γενηται ως ο διδασκαλος αυτου και τω δουλω ως ο κυριος αυτου ει τον οικοδεσποτην βεελζεβουλ εκαλεσαν ποσω μαλλον τους οικιακους αυτου
It is enough for the disciple that he should be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much worse would be the names they call the members of his household!
26 μη ουν φοβηθητε αυτους ουδεν γαρ εστιν κεκαλυμμενον ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
Therefore do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.
27 ο λεγω υμιν εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι και ο εις το ους ακουετε κηρυξατε επι των δωματων
What I tell you in the darkness, say in the daylight, and what you hear softly in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28 και μη φοβηθητε απο των αποκτεννοντων το σωμα την δε ψυχην μη δυναμενων αποκτειναι φοβηθητε δε μαλλον τον δυναμενον και ψυχην και σωμα απολεσαι εν γεεννη (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul. Instead, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 ουχι δυο στρουθια ασσαριου πωλειται και εν εξ αυτων ου πεσειται επι την γην ανευ του πατρος υμων
Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your Father's knowledge.
30 υμων δε και αι τριχες της κεφαλης πασαι ηριθμημεναι εισιν
But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 μη ουν φοβηθητε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε υμεις
Do not fear. You are more valuable than many sparrows.
32 πας ουν οστις ομολογησει εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων ομολογησω καγω εν αυτω εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις
Therefore everyone who confesses me before men, I will also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 οστις δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι αυτον καγω εμπροσθεν του πατρος μου του εν ουρανοις
But he who denies me before men, I will also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
34 μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην επι την γην ουκ ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην αλλα μαχαιραν
Do not think that I came to bring peace upon the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 ηλθον γαρ διχασαι ανθρωπον κατα του πατρος αυτου και θυγατερα κατα της μητρος αυτης και νυμφην κατα της πενθερας αυτης
For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36 και εχθροι του ανθρωπου οι οικιακοι αυτου
A man's enemies will be those of his own household.
37 ο φιλων πατερα η μητερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος και ο φιλων υιον η θυγατερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 και ος ου λαμβανει τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθει οπισω μου ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
He who does not pick up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
39 ο ευρων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο απολεσας την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην
He who finds his life will lose it. But he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 ο δεχομενος υμας εμε δεχεται και ο εμε δεχομενος δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με
He who welcomes you welcomes me, and he who welcomes me also welcomes him who sent me.
41 ο δεχομενος προφητην εις ονομα προφητου μισθον προφητου ληψεται και ο δεχομενος δικαιον εις ονομα δικαιου μισθον δικαιου ληψεται
He who welcomes a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who welcomes a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
42 και ος εαν ποτιση ενα των μικρων τουτων ποτηριον ψυχρου μονον εις ονομα μαθητου αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη απολεση τον μισθον αυτου
Whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, truly I say to you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
