Matthew 10
10
CHAPTER 10
1And when his twelve disciples were called together, he gave to them power of unclean spirits, to cast them out of men, and to heal every languor [or all ache], and [all] sickness.
2And these be the names of the twelve apostles; the first, Simon, that is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James of Zebedee, and John, his brother;
3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew, publican; and James [of] Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4Simon Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, that betrayed Christ [or which betrayed him].
5Jesus sent these twelve, and commanded [to] them, and said, Go ye not into the way of heathen men, and enter ye not into the cities of Samaritans;
6but rather go ye to the sheep of the house of Israel, that have perished.
7And go ye, and preach ye, and say, that the kingdom of heavens shall nigh;
8heal ye sick men, raise ye dead men, cleanse ye mesels [or leprous men], cast ye out devils; freely ye have taken, freely give ye.
9Do not ye wield gold, nor silver, nor money in your girdles,
10not a scrip in the way, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor a staff [or a rod]; for a workman is worthy his meat.
11Into whatever city, or castle, ye shall enter, ask ye who therein is worthy, and there dwell ye, till ye go out.
12And when ye go into an house, greet ye it, and say, Peace to this house.
13And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come on it; but if that house be not worthy, your peace shall turn again to you.
14And whoever receiveth not you, nor heareth your words, go ye forth from that house or city, and sprinkle off the dust of your feet [or smite away the dust from your feet].
15Truly I say to you, it shall be more sufferable to the land of men of Sodom and of Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than to that city.
16Lo! I send you as sheep in the middle [or into the midst] of wolves; therefore be ye sly, [or prudent, or wary, or wise], as serpents, and simple as doves.
17But be ye ware of men, for they shall take you in councils, and they shall beat you in their synagogues;
18and to mayors, or to presidents, and to kings, ye shall be led for me, in witnessing to them, and to heathen men.
19But when they take you, do not ye think, how or what thing ye shall speak, for it shall be given to you in that hour, what ye shall speak;
20for it be not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father, that speaketh in you.
21And the brother shall betake the brother into death, and the father the son, and sons shall rise against [their] father and mother, and shall torment them by death [or to the death].
22And ye shall be in hate [or in hatred] to all men for my name; but he that shall dwell still [or shall continue] into the end, shall be made safe.
23And when they pursue you in this city, flee ye into another. Truly I say to you, ye shall not end the cities of Israel, before that man’s Son come.
24The disciple is not above the master [or above his master], nor the servant above his lord;
25it is enough to the disciple, that he be as his master, and to the servant as his lord. If they have called the husbandman, [or the father of the meine], Beelzebub, how much more his household meine?
26Therefore dread ye not them; for nothing is hid [or is covered], that shall not be showed; and nothing is privy, that shall not be known.
27That thing that I say to you in darknesses, say ye in the light; and preach ye on houses [or upon roofs], that thing that ye hear in the ear.
28And do not ye dread them that slay the body; for they may not slay the soul; but rather dread ye him, that may lose both soul and body into hell.
29Whether two sparrows be not sold for an halfpenny? and one of them shall not fall on the earth without your Father.
30And all the hairs of your head be numbered.
31Therefore do not ye dread; ye be better than many sparrows.
32Therefore every man that shall acknowledge me before men, I shall acknowledge him before my Father that is in heavens.
33But he that shall deny me before men, I shall deny him before my Father that is in heavens.
34Do not ye deem that I came to send peace into [the] earth; I came not to send peace, but sword.
35For I came to part a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the son’s wife against the husband’s mother;
36and the enemies of a man be they, that be at home with him.
37He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy to me/is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy to me [or of me].
38And he that taketh not his cross, and pursueth me, is not worthy to me [or of me].
39He that findeth his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for me, shall find it.
40He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
41He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall take [or shall receive] the meed of a prophet. And he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall take [or shall receive] the meed of a just man.
42And whoever giveth drink to one of these least, a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his meed.

Matthew 10
10
1And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness. 2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.
5These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into the way of the nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not; 6but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. 8Heal the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously. 9Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts, 10nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment. 11But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth. 12And as ye enter into a house salute it. 13And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
16Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves. 17But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues; 18and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. 19But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20For ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you. 21But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death; 22and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to the end, he shall be saved. 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come. 24The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord. 25It is sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household? 26Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known. 27What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses. 28And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father; 30but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered. 31Fear not therefore; ye are better than many sparrows. 32Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also will confess him before my Father who is in the heavens. 33But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens. 34Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword. 35For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law; 36and they of his household shall be a man's enemies. 37He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me. 38And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. 39He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it. 40He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me. 41He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
