Matthew 10
10
1And hee called his twelue disciples vnto him, and gaue them power against vncleane spirits, to cast them out, and to heale euery sickenesse, and euery disease. 2Nowe the names of the twelue Apostles are these. The first is Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother: Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn his brother. 3Philippe and Bartlemewe: Thomas, and Matthewe that Publicane: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus: 4Simon the Cananite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him. 5These twelue did Iesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Goe not into the way of of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter yee not: 6But goe rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel. 7And as ye goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand. 8Heale the sicke: cleanse the lepers: raise vp the dead: cast out the deuils. Freely ye haue receiued, freely giue. 9Possesse not golde, nor siluer, nor money in your girdels, 10Nor a scrippe for the iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor a staffe: for the workeman is worthie of his meate. 11And into whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till yee goe thence. 12And when yee come into an house, salute the same. 13And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthie, let your peace returne to you. 14And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your woordes, when yee depart out of that house, or that citie, shake off the dust of your feete. 15Truely I say vnto you, it shall be easier for them of the lande of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgement, then for that citie. 16Behold, I send you as sheepe in the middes of the wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doues. 17But beware of men, for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues. 18And ye shall be brought to the gouernours and Kings for my sake, in witnes to them, and to the Gentiles. 19But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought howe or what ye shall speake: for it shall be giuen you in that houre, what ye shall say. 20For it is not yee that speake, but the spirite of your father which speaketh in you. 21And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die. 22And yee shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saued. 23And when they persecute you in this citie, flee into another: for verely I say vnto you, yee shall not goe ouer all the cities of Israel, till the Sonne of man be come. 24The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his Lord. 25It is ynough for the disciple to bee as his master is, and the seruaunt as his Lord. If they haue called the master of the house Beel-zebub, howe much more them of his housholde? 26Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be knowen. 27What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee on the houses. 28And feare yee not them which kill the bodie, but are nor able to kill the soule: but rather feare him, which is able to destroy both soule and bodie in hell. 29Are not two sparrowes sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not fal on the ground without your Father? 30Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred. 31Feare ye not therefore, yee are of more value then many sparowes. 32Whosoeuer therefore shall confesse me before men, him will I confesse also before my Father which is in heauen. 33But whosoeuer shall denie me before me, him will I also denie before my Father which is in heauen. 34Thinke not that I am come to sende peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sworde. 35For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in lawe. 36And a mans enemies shall be they of his owne housholde. 37He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthie of me. And he that loueth sonne, or daughter more then mee, is not worthie of me. 38And hee that taketh not his crosse, and followeth after me, is not worthie of me. 39He that will finde his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall finde it. 40He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me. 41Hee that receiueth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receiue a Prophetes rewarde: and hee that receiueth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receiue the rewarde of a righteous man. 42And whosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these litle ones to drinke a cuppe of colde water onely, in the name of a disciple, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.

Matthew 10
10
1 He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2Now the names of the twelve emissaries are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; Jacob the son of Zebedee; Yochanan, his brother; 3Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; Jacob the son of Halfai; Labbai, who was also called#10:3 NU omits “Labbai, who was also called” Taddai; 4Simon the Zealot; and Judah Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5Yeshua sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans. 6Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7As you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,#10:8 TR adds “raise the dead,” and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give. 9Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts. 10Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. 11Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on. 12As you enter into the household, greet it. 13If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you. 14Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. 15Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. 18Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. 19But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say. 20For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
24 “A disciple is not above his rabbi, nor a servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul,#10:25 Literally, Lord of the Flies, or the devil how much more those of his household! 26Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. 28Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehinnom.#10:28 or, Hell.
29 “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? # 10:29 An assarion is a small coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius. An assarion is approximately the wages of one half hour of agricultural labor. Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. 32Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. 33But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword. 35For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36A man’s foes will be those of his own household.#Micah 7:6 37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me. 38He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me. 39He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 “He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. 41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”
