He told [us] twelve disciples to come to him. Then he gave us the power/authority to expel evil spirits [that controlled people]. He also enabled [us] to heal all people who had diseases or who were sick.

[Here is a list of us] twelve [disciples whom he called] apostles ([which means ‘messengers’]): Simon, [to whom he gave the new name] Peter; Andrew, Peter’s [younger] brother; James, the son of Zebedee; John, the [younger] brother of James;

Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; me, Matthew, the tax collector; James, the [son] of Alpheus; Thaddeus;

Simon, a member of the party [that wanted to overthrow the Roman government; ] and Judas Iscariot (OR, Judas, the man from Kerioth [Town]), who [later] enabled [the Jewish leaders] to seize Jesus.

When Jesus was [about to] send [us] twelve [apostles to tell his message to people in various places], he gave [us] these instructions: “Do not go where the non-Jews live [MTY] or into the towns [where the] Samaritans live, [because they hate you].
| اِسْراییلْگوتْرَسْیَ ہارِتا یے یے میشاسْتیشامیوَ سَمِیپَں یاتَ۔ | 6 |
Instead, go to the people of Israel [SYN] who have [gone away from God like] sheep that have gotten lost [MET].
| گَتْوا گَتْوا سْوَرْگَسْیَ راجَتْوَں سَوِدھَمَبھَوَتْ، ایتاں کَتھاں پْرَچارَیَتَ۔ | 7 |
When you go [to them], proclaim to them that God [EUP/MTY] will soon begin to rule over people.
| آمَیَگْرَسْتانْ سْوَسْتھانْ کُرُتَ، کُشْٹھِنَح پَرِشْکُرُتَ، مرِتَلوکانْ جِیوَیَتَ، بھُوتانْ تْیاجَیَتَ، وِنا مُولْیَں یُویَمْ اَلَبھَدھْوَں وِنَیوَ مُولْیَں وِشْرانَیَتَ۔ | 8 |
Heal sick people, cause dead people to become alive, heal people who have leprosy, and cause demons to leave people [who are controlled by them] {[whom demons control]}. Do not charge money [for helping people, because God] did not charge you anything [for helping you].
| کِنْتُ سْویشاں کَٹِبَنْدھیشُ سْوَرْنَرُوپْیَتامْراناں کِمَپِ نَ گرِہْلِیتَ۔ | 9 |
Do not take any money with you [MTY], nor a knapsack. Do not take an extra shirt, nor sandals [in addition to what you are wearing], nor a walking stick. Every worker deserves to get pay [from the people for whom he works], [so you deserve to receive food and a place to stay from the people to whom you go].
| اَنْیَچَّ یاتْرایَے چیلَسَمْپُٹَں وا دْوِتِییَوَسَنَں وا پادُکے وا یَشْٹِح، ایتانْ ما گرِہْلِیتَ، یَتَح کارْیَّکرِتْ بھَرْتُّں یوگْیو بھَوَتِ۔ | 10 |

In whatever town or village you enter, find out which person is worthy [that you should stay in his home]. And as you go into that house, [ask God to] bless the people [who live there] [MTY]. Stay in that home until you leave [that town or village].
| یَدا یُویَں تَدْگیہَں پْرَوِشَتھَ، تَدا تَماشِشَں وَدَتَ۔ | 12 |

If the people who live in [MTY] that house are worthy [of being blessed] {[God blessing them]}, [God] will bless them. If the people who live in that house are not worthy [of being blessed] {[of God blessing them]}, [God] will bless you [instead of blessing them].
| کِنْتُ یے جَنا یُشْماکَماتِتھْیَں نَ وِدَدھَتِ یُشْماکَں کَتھانْچَ نَ شرِنْوَنْتِ تیشاں گیہاتْ پُرادْوا پْرَسْتھانَکالے سْوَپَدُولِیح پاتَیَتَ۔ | 14 |
If the people [who live in any house or town] do not welcome you [to their home or town], nor listen to your message, leave that house or town. And as you leave, shake off the dust from your feet. [By doing that, you will warn them that God will punish them for rejecting your message].
| یُشْمانَہَں تَتھْیَں وَچْمِ وِچارَدِنے تَتْپُرَسْیَ دَشاتَح سِدومَموراپُرَیورْدَشا سَہْیَتَرا بھَوِشْیَتِ۔ | 15 |
Note this carefully: [At the time when God] judges [all people, he] will punish [the people who lived in] Sodom and Gomorrah [MTY], [the ancient cities which God destroyed because their people were extremely wicked]. But in any town where the people [MTY] refuse to hear your message, God will punish them even more severely.”
| پَشْیَتَ، ورِکَیُوتھَمَدھْیے میشَح یَتھاوِسْتَتھا یُشْمانَ پْرَہِنومِ، تَسْمادْ یُویَمْ اَہِرِوَ سَتَرْکاح کَپوتااِواہِںسَکا بھَوَتَ۔ | 16 |
“Take note: After I send you out, [you will be as defenseless] as sheep [MET] in the midst of [people who are as dangerous as] wolves. So you should wisely [stay away from such people, like you stay away from poisonous] snakes [SIM]. You should be as harmless as doves are [SIM].

Also, be on guard against [our religious leaders]. They will arrest you and take you to the members of the religious councils [to put you on trial and punish you because you are my disciples]. You will be whipped {The local leaders will whip you} [in] their meeting places.
| یُویَں مَنّامَہیتوح شاسْترِناں راجْنانْچَ سَمَکْشَں تانَنْیَدیشِنَشْچادھِ ساکْشِتْوارْتھَمانیشْیَدھْوے۔ | 18 |
[And] because [you teach] about me, you will be taken {[the religious leaders] will take you} to governors and kings [in order that they may put you on trial and punish you]. As a result, you will testify to those rulers and to [other] non-Jews [about what I have done].
| کِنْتْوِتّھَں سَمَرْپِتا یُویَں کَتھَں کِمُتَّرَں وَکْشْیَتھَ تَتْرَ ما چِنْتَیَتَ، یَتَسْتَدا یُشْمابھِ رْیَدْ وَکْتَوْیَں تَتْ تَدَّنْڈے یُشْمَنْمَنَح سُ سَمُپَسْتھاسْیَتِ۔ | 19 |
When [the religious leaders] arrest you, do not be worried about what you will say [to them], because at that very time [the] Holy Spirit will tell you the words that you should say.
| یَسْماتْ تَدا یو وَکْشْیَتِ سَ نَ یُویَں کِنْتُ یُشْماکَمَنْتَرَسْتھَح پِتْراتْما۔ | 20 |
It is not that you [will decide what to] say. Instead, you will say what the Spirit of your [heavenly] Father tells [you to say].
| سَہَجَح سَہَجَں تاتَح سُتَنْچَ مرِتَو سَمَرْپَیِشْیَتِ، اَپَتْیاگِ سْوَسْوَپِتْرو رْوِپَکْشِیبھُویَ تَو گھاتَیِشْیَنْتِ۔ | 21 |
[You will be taken] {[People who do not believe in me will] take you} to the authorities to be killed [because you believe in me. For example], people will betray their brothers, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and cause [them] to be killed.
| مَنَّمَہیتوح سَرْوّے جَنا یُشْمانْ رِتِییِشْیَنْتے، کِنْتُ یَح شیشَں یاوَدْ دھَیرْیَّں گھرِتْوا سْتھاسْیَتِ، سَ تْرایِشْیَتے۔ | 22 |
Many people will hate you [because you believe in me]. Nevertheless, [many people] will keep on believing in me until they die. They are the people whom [God] will take to live with him.
| تَے رْیَدا یُویَمیکَپُرے تاڈِشْیَدھْوے، تَدا یُویَمَنْیَپُرَں پَلایَدھْوَں یُشْمانَہَں تَتھْیَں وَچْمِ یاوَنْمَنُجَسُتو نَیتِ تاوَدْ اِسْراییلْدیشِییَسَرْوَّنَگَرَبھْرَمَنَں سَماپَیِتُں نَ شَکْشْیَتھَ۔ | 23 |
When people in one town cause you to suffer, escape to another town [and tell the people there about me]. Note this: [I], the one who came down from heaven, will certainly return [to earth] before you have finished going from one town to another town throughout Israel [and telling people about me].
| گُروح شِشْیو نَ مَہانْ، پْرَبھورْداسو نَ مَہانْ۔ | 24 |
A disciple should not [expect to be] greater than his teacher, and servants [are not] superior to their master.
| یَدِ شِشْیو نِجَگُرو رْداسَشْچَ سْوَپْرَبھوح سَمانو بھَوَتِ تَرْہِ تَدْ یَتھیشْٹَں۔ چیتَّیرْگرِہَپَتِرْبھُوتَراجَ اُچْیَتے، تَرْہِ پَرِواراح کِں تَتھا نَ وَکْشْیَنْتے؟ | 25 |
You do not [expect that] people will [treat] a disciple better than [they treat] his teacher, or that [they will treat] a servant [better than they treat] his master. [Similarly, because I am your teacher and master, you can expect that people will mistreat you, because they have mistreated me]. The most you can expect is that people [will treat you like they treat me. I am like] the ruler of a household [MET]. But people [have insulted me by] calling [me] Beelzebub, [the ruler of the demons]. So they [will] certainly [insult you more, you who are only like] members of my household [MET]!”
| کِنْتُ تیبھْیو یُویَں ما بِبھِیتَ، یَتو یَنَّ پْرَکاشِشْیَتے، تادرِکْ چھادِتَں کِمَپِ ناسْتِ، یَچَّ نَ وْیَنْچِشْیَتے، تادرِگْ گُپْتَں کِمَپِ ناسْتِ۔ | 26 |
“Do not be afraid of [people who insult you and do evil things to you. God wants] everything that is unknown now to be revealed {[God wants you to] reveal everything [that is unknown now]}. [He does] not [want his truth] to remain hidden [MET] and kept secret [DOU].
| یَدَہَں یُشْمانْ تَمَسِ وَچْمِ تَدْ یُشْمابھِرْدِیپْتَو کَتھْیَتاں؛ کَرْنابھْیاں یَتْ شْرُویَتے تَدْ گیہوپَرِ پْرَچارْیَّتاں۔ | 27 |
[So, instead of being afraid], what I say to you [secretly as people do] at night [MTY], tell [publicly as people do] during the daytime [MTY]. What I [say to you privately as people do when they] whisper to you [MTY], proclaim publicly [MTY, DOU].
| یے کایَں ہَنْتُں شَکْنُوَنْتِ ناتْمانَں، تیبھْیو ما بھَیشْٹَ؛ یَح کایاتْمانَو نِرَیے ناشَیِتُں، شَکْنوتِ، تَتو بِبھِیتَ۔ (Geenna ) | 28 |
Do not be afraid of people who [are able to] kill your body [SYN] but are not able to destroy your soul. Instead, fear [God because] he is able to destroy both a [person’s] body and a [person’s] soul in hell. (Geenna )
| دْوَو چَٹَکَو کِمیکَتامْرَمُدْرَیا نَ وِکْرِیییتے؟ تَتھاپِ یُشْمَتّاتانُمَتِں وِنا تیشامیکوپِ بھُوِ نَ پَتَتِ۔ | 29 |
[Think about the] sparrows. [They have so little value] that [you] can buy cares two of them for [only] one small coin [RHQ]. But when [any] sparrow falls to the ground [and dies] [LIT], [God], your [heavenly] Father, knows it, [because he cares about everything].
| یُشْمَچّھِرَساں سَرْوَّکَچا گَنِتاںح سَنْتِ۔ | 30 |
[He cares about you, too]. He even knows how many hairs you have on your head!
| اَتو ما بِبھِیتَ، یُویَں بَہُچَٹَکیبھْیو بَہُمُولْیاح۔ | 31 |
[God] values you much more than he values sparrows [LIT]. So, do not be afraid [of people who threaten to kill you]
| یو مَنُجَساکْشانْمامَنْگِیکُرُتے تَمَہَں سْوَرْگَسْتھَتاتَساکْشادَنْگِیکَرِشْیے۔ | 32 |
If people, [without being afraid, are willing to] tell others [that they are my disciples], I will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven [that they are my disciples].
| پرِتھْوْیامَہَں شانْتِں داتُماگَتَاِتِ مانُبھَوَتَ، شانْتِں داتُں نَ کِنْتْوَسِں۔ | 33 |
But if they are afraid to say in front of others that they are my [disciples], I will tell my Father, who is in heaven, [that] they are not [my disciples].”
| پِترِماترِشْچَشْرُوبھِح ساکَں سُتَسُتابَدھُو رْوِرودھَیِتُنْچاگَتےسْمِ۔ | 34 |
“Do not think that I came to earth to cause [people] to live together harmoniously. The result of my coming is that [some of those who follow me] [MTY] will be killed.
| تَتَح سْوَسْوَپَرِوارَایوَ نرِشَتْرُ رْبھَوِتا۔ | 35 |
Because I came [to earth, people who do not believe in me] will oppose [those who do believe in me. For example], some sons will oppose their fathers, some daughters will oppose their mothers, and some daughters-in-law will oppose their mothers-in-law.
| یَح پِتَرِ ماتَرِ وا مَتّودھِکَں پْرِییَتے، سَ نَ مَدَرْہَح؛ | 36 |
[This shows that sometimes] a person’s enemies will be members of his own household.
| یَشْچَ سُتے سُتایاں وا مَتّودھِکَں پْرِییَتے، سےپِ نَ مَدَرْہَح۔ | 37 |
People who love their fathers or mothers more than [they love] me are not worthy to [have a relationship with me]. And people who love their sons or daughters more than [they love] me are not worthy [to belong to] me.
| یَح سْوَکْرُشَں گرِہْلَنْ مَتْپَشْچانَّیتِ، سےپِ نَ مَدَرْہَح۔ | 38 |
[People who are ready to execute a prisoner force him to] carry a cross [to the place where they will nail him to it] [MET]. Those who are not [willing to allow other people to hurt and disgrace them like that because of being my disciples] are not worthy to belong to me.
| یَح سْوَپْرانانَوَتِ، سَ تانْ ہارَیِشْیَتے، یَسْتُ مَتْکرِتے سْوَپْرانانْ ہارَیَتِ، سَ تانَوَتِ۔ | 39 |
People who [deny that they believe in me in order to escape being killed] will not live [with God eternally] [MET], but people who [confess that they believe in] me and, [as a result are] killed, will live [with God eternally] [MET].”
| یو یُشْماکَماتِتھْیَں وِدَدھاتِ، سَ مَماتِتھْیَں وِدَدھاتِ، یَشْچَ مَماتِتھْیَں وِدَدھاتِ، سَ مَتْپْریرَکَسْیاتِتھْیَں وِدَدھاتِ۔ | 40 |
“[God considers that] everyone who welcomes you, welcomes me [SIM], and [he considers that] everyone who welcomes me welcomes [him], the one who sent me [SIM].
| یو بھَوِشْیَدْوادِیتِ جْناتْوا تَسْیاتِتھْیَں وِدھَتّے، سَ بھَوِشْیَدْوادِنَح پھَلَں لَپْسْیَتے، یَشْچَ دھارْمِّکَ اِتِ وِدِتْوا تَسْیاتِتھْیَں وِدھَتّے سَ دھارْمِّکَمانَوَسْیَ پھَلَں پْراپْسْیَتِ۔ | 41 |
Those who welcome [someone because] [MTY] [they know] that person is a prophet they will receive the [same] reward that prophets [receive from God. Likewise], those who welcome a person [because] [MTY] [they know] that person is righteous will receive the reward righteous people [receive from God].

[Note this: ] people [see that you are thirsty] [MTY] [and] give you a drink of cold water because they know that [MTY] you are one of my disciples. [God] will certainly reward people who do that. [They might consider that what they did] is insignificant, [but God will consider it very significant]” [LIT].
