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
And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power to expel unclean spirits, and to cure diseases and maladies of every kind.
2 των δε δωδεκα αποστολων τα ονοματα εστιν ταυτα πρωτοσ σιμων ο λεγομενοσ πετροσ και ανδρεασ ο αδελφοσ αυτου ιακωβοσ ο του ζεβεδαιου και ιωαννησ ο αδελφοσ αυτου
Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: The first, Simon, 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 publican; James, son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, surnamed Thaddeus;
4 σιμων ο κανανιτησ και ιουδασ ισκαριωτησ ο και παραδουσ αυτον
and Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he who betrayed 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 commissioned, instructing them, and saying: Go not away to the Gentiles, nor enter a Samaritan city;
6 πορευεσθε δε μαλλον προσ τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου ισραηλ
but go directly to the lost sheep of the stock of Israel.
7 πορευομενοι δε κηρυσσετε λεγοντεσ οτι ηγγικεν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
And as you go, proclaim, saying, The Reign of Heaven approaches.
8 ασθενουντασ θεραπευετε λεπρουσ καθαριζετε δαιμονια εκβαλλετε δωρεαν ελαβετε δωρεαν δοτε
Heal the sick, raise the dead; cleanse lepers, expel demons; freely they have received, freely give.
9 μη κτησησθε χρυσον μηδε αργυρον μηδε χαλκον εισ τασ ζωνασ υμων
Put not gold or silver, or brass in your girdles;
10 μη πηραν εισ οδον μηδε δυο χιτωνασ μηδε υποδηματα μηδε ραβδουσ αξιοσ γαρ ο εργατησ τησ τροφησ αυτου εστιν
carry no traveling bag, no spare coat, shoes, or staff; for the workman is worthy of his maintenance.
11 εισ ην δ αν πολιν η κωμην εισελθητε εξετασατε τισ εν αυτη αξιοσ εστιν κακει μεινατε εωσ αν εξελθητε
And whatever city or village you enter, inquire what person of worth dwells there; and abide with him until you leave the place.
12 εισερχομενοι δε εισ την οικιαν ασπασασθε αυτην
When you enter the home, salute the family.
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 family be worthy, the peace you wish them shall come upon them: if they be not worthy, it shall rebound upon yourselves.
14 και οσ εαν μη δεξηται υμασ μηδε ακουση τουσ λογουσ υμων εξερχομενοι τησ οικιασ η τησ πολεωσ εκεινησ εκτιναξατε τον κονιορτον των ποδων υμων
Wheresoever they will not receive you, nor regard your words, in departing that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.
15 αμην λεγω υμιν ανεκτοτερον εσται γη σοδομων και γομορρων εν ημερα κρισεωσ η τη πολει εκεινη
Indeed, I say to you, the condition of Sodom and Gomorrah shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment, than the condition of that city.
16 ιδου εγω αποστελλω υμασ ωσ προβατα εν μεσω λυκων γινεσθε ουν φρονιμοι ωσ οι οφεισ και ακεραιοι ωσ αι περιστεραι
Behold! I send you forth as sheep amidst wolves. Be therefore prudent as the serpents, and harmless as the doves.
17 προσεχετε δε απο των ανθρωπων παραδωσουσιν γαρ υμασ εισ συνεδρια και εν ταισ συναγωγαισ αυτων μαστιγωσουσιν υμασ
But be upon your guard against these men; for they will deliver you to councils, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 και επι ηγεμονασ δε και βασιλεισ αχθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εισ μαρτυριον αυτοισ και τοισ εθνεσιν
and you shall be brought before governors and kings, on my account, to bear testimony to them, and to the Gentiles.
19 οταν δε παραδιδωσιν υμασ μη μεριμνησητε πωσ η τι λαλησητε δοθησεται γαρ υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τι λαλησετε
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how, or what you shall speak; for what you shall speak shall be suggested to you in that moment.
20 ου γαρ υμεισ εστε οι λαλουντεσ αλλα το πνευμα του πατροσ υμων το λαλουν εν υμιν
For it shall not be you that shall speak; but the Spirit of my Father, who will speak by you.
21 παραδωσει δε αδελφοσ αδελφον εισ θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεισ και θανατωσουσιν αυτουσ
Then the brother will deliver up the brother to death; and the father the child; and children will arise against their parents, and procure their death.
22 και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου ο δε υπομεινασ εισ τελοσ ουτοσ σωθησεται
And for my name you shall be hated universally. But the man who perseveres to the end, shall 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
Therefore, when they persecute you in one city, flee to another; for indeed, I say to you, you shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of Man be come.
24 ουκ εστιν μαθητησ υπερ τον διδασκαλον ουδε δουλοσ υπερ τον κυριον αυτου
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 αρκετον τω μαθητη ινα γενηται ωσ ο διδασκαλοσ αυτου και ο δουλοσ ωσ ο κυριοσ αυτου ει τον οικοδεσποτην βεελζεβουλ εκαλεσαν ποσω μαλλον τουσ οικειακουσ αυτου
It is enough for the disciple to be as his teacher, and for the servant to be as his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more his domestics?
26 μη ουν φοβηθητε αυτουσ ουδεν γαρ εστιν κεκαλυμμενον ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
Therefore, fear them not; for there is nothing hid that shall not be detected; nothing secret that shall 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 dark, publish in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the house tops.
28 και μη φοβεισθε απο των αποκτενοντων το σωμα την δε ψυχην μη δυναμενων αποκτειναι φοβηθητε δε μαλλον τον δυναμενον και την ψυχην και το σωμα απολεσαι εν γεεννη (Geenna g1067)
And fear not them you kill the body, but can not kill the soul; rather fear him who can 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 penny? Yet neither of them falls to the ground without your Father.
30 υμων δε και αι τριχεσ τησ κεφαλησ πασαι ηριθμημεναι εισιν
Nay, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 μη ουν φοβηθητε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε υμεισ
Fear not, then; you are much more valuable than sparrows.
32 πασ ουν οστισ ομολογησει εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων ομολογησω καγω εν αυτω εμπροσθεν του πατροσ μου του εν ουρανοισ
Whoever, therefore, shall acknowledge me before men, him will I also acknowledge 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 whoever shall disown me before men, him will I also disown before my Father, who is in heaven.
34 μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην επι την γην ουκ ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην αλλα μαχαιραν
Think not that I am come to bring peace to the earth. I came not 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 am come to cause dissension between father and son, between mother and daughter, between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law;
36 και εχθροι του ανθρωπου οι οικειακοι αυτου
so that a man's enemies will be found in his own family.
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. 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 will not take his cross and follow 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 preserves his life, shall lose it: but he who loses his life, on my account, shall preserve it.
40 ο δεχομενοσ υμασ εμε δεχεται και ο εμε δεχομενοσ δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με
He that receives you, receives me; and he that receives me, receives him who sent me, receives 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 that receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, shall obtain a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, shall 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
and whosoever shall give one of these little ones, because he is my disciple, a single cup of cold water to drink; indeed, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
