5 Hos duodecim misit Jesus, præcipiens eis, dicens: In viam gentium ne abieritis, et in civitates Samaritanorum ne intraveritis:
These men, the Twelve, Jesus sent forth, after giving them the following instructions. "Do not go among the Gentiles, or enter any Samaritan town,
6 sed potius ite ad oves quæ perierunt domus Israël.
"but rather be on your way to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 Euntes autem prædicate, dicentes: Quia appropinquavit regnum cælorum.
"As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
8 Infirmos curate, mortuos suscitate, leprosos mundate, dæmones ejicite: gratis accepistis, gratis date.
"Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
9 Nolite possidere aurum, neque argentum, neque pecuniam in zonis vestris:
"Take no gold or silver or coppers in your purses;
10 non peram in via, neque duas tunicas, neque calceamenta, neque virgam: dignus enim est operarius cibo suo.
"not even a bag for the journey, or a change of clothes, or sandals, or even a stick; for the worker is worth his rations.
11 In quamcumque autem civitatem aut castellum intraveritis, interrogate, quis in ea dignus sit: et ibi manete donec exeatis.
"Into whatever city or town you enter, inquire for some worthy person there, and stay with him until you leave.
12 Intrantes autem in domum, salutate eam, dicentes: Pax huic domui.
"When you enter the house, salute it;
13 Et siquidem fuerit domus illa digna, veniet pax vestra super eam: si autem non fuerit digna, pax vestra revertetur ad vos.
"and if the house is worthy let your blessing sit upon it; but if it be unworthy, let your blessing return to you.
14 Et quicumque non receperit vos, neque audierit sermones vestros: exeunte foras de domo, vel civitate, excutite pulverem de pedibus vestris.
"And whoever will not receive you or listen to your words, as you go out from that house or that city, shake off the very dust from your feet.
15 Amen dico vobis: Tolerabilius erit terræ Sodomorum et Gomorrhæorum in die judicii, quam illi civitati.
"I tell you solemnly it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for that town.
16 Ecce ego mitto vos sicut oves in medio luporum. Estote ergo prudentes sicut serpentes, et simplices sicut columbæ.
"Behold, it is I who am sending you forth like sheep among wolves. Be then as serpents and as guileless as doves.
17 Cavete autem ab hominibus. Tradent enim vos in conciliis, et in synagogis suis flagellabunt vos:
"But beware of men! For they will give you up to the Sanhedrin, and flog you in their synagogues.
18 et ad præsides, et ad reges ducemini propter me in testimonium illis, et gentibus.
"And you will be taken before governors and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
19 Cum autem tradent vos, nolite cogitare quomodo, aut quid loquamini: dabitur enim vobis in illa hora, quid loquamini:
"But whenever they apprehend you, do not be anxious about how you shall speak or what you shall say; for it will be given you in that very hour what to say.
20 non enim vos estis qui loquimini, sed Spiritus Patris vestri, qui loquitur in vobis.
"For it will not be you who is speaking, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 Tradet autem frater fratrem in mortem, et pater filium: et insurgent filii in parentes, et morte eos afficient:
"And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death.
22 et eritis odio omnibus propter nomen meum: qui autem perseveraverit usque in finem, hic salvus erit.
"You will be hated by all men because of my name; and he who endures to the end shall be saved.
23 Cum autem persequentur vos in civitate ista, fugite in aliam. Amen dico vobis, non consummabitis civitates Israël, donec veniat Filius hominis.
"But when they persecute you in one city, flee to the next. In solemn truth I tell you that you shall not have completed the cities of Israel, before the Son of man comes.
24 Non est discipulus super magistrum, nec servus super dominum suum:
"A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his masters.
25 sufficit discipulo ut sit sicut magister ejus, et servo, sicut dominus ejus. Si patremfamilias Beelzebub vocaverunt, quanto magis domesticos ejus?
"It is enough for the pupil to fare like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more, the members of his household.
26 Ne ergo timueritis eos. Nihil enim est opertum, quod non revelabitur: et occultum, quod non scietur.
"So do not fear them; for there is nothing concealed which shall not be revealed, nor anything secret which shall not become known.
27 Quod dico vobis in tenebris, dicite in lumine: et quod in aure auditis, prædicate super tecta.
"What I am telling you is in the darkness, do you speak in the light; and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
28 Et nolite timere eos qui occidunt corpus, animam autem non possunt occidere: sed potius timete eum, qui potest et animam et corpus perdere in gehennam. (Geenna g1067)
"Do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. (Geenna g1067)
29 Nonne duo passeres asse veneunt? et unus ex illis non cadet super terram sine Patre vestro.
"Are not two sparrows sold for a half-penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your father.
30 Vestri autem capilli capitis omnes numerati sunt.
"The very hairs on your head are all numbered.
31 Nolite ergo timere: multis passeribus meliores estis vos.
"Cease to be afraid! You are of greater value than many sparrows.
32 Omnis ergo qui confitebitur me coram hominibus, confitebor et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in cælis est.
"Every one, then, who will confess me before men, I also will confess before my Father who is in heaven.
33 Qui autem negaverit me coram hominibus, negabo et ego eum coram Patre meo, qui in cælis est.
"But whoever disowns me before men, I also will disown before my Father who is in heaven.
34 Nolite arbitrari quia pacem venerim mittere in terram: non veni pacem mittere, sed gladium:
"Do not suppose that I am come to bring peace on the earth; I am come not to bring peace, but a sword.
35 veni enim separare hominem adversus patrem suum, et filiam adversus matrem suam, et nurum adversus socrum suam:
"For I came to set "a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
36 et inimici hominis, domestici ejus.
"and a man’s own household will be his enemies.
37 Qui amat patrem aut matrem plus quam me, non est me dignus: et qui amat filium aut filiam super me, non est me dignus.
"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 Et qui non accipit crucem suam, et sequitur me, non est me dignus.
"and he who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
39 Qui invenit animam suam, perdet illam: et qui perdiderit animam suam propter me, inveniet eam.
"He who has saved his life shall lose it; and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.
40 Qui recipit vos, me recipit: et qui me recipit, recipit eum qui me misit.
"Whoever receives you is receiving me, and he who receives me is receiving Him who sent me.
41 Qui recipit prophetam in nomine prophetæ, mercedem prophetæ accipiet: et qui recipit justum in nomine justi, mercedem justi accipiet.
"Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet, shall receive a prophet’s reward; and whoever receives a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 Et quicumque potum dederit uni ex minimis istis calicem aquæ frigidæ tantum in nomine discipuli: amen dico vobis, non perdet mercedem suam.
"And whoever gives to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, because he is a disciple, I tell you in solemn truth, he shall not lose his reward.
