Mattithyahu (Matthew) 10
10
1And having called His twelve taught ones near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
2And these are the names of the twelve emissaries: first, Shim‛on, who is called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother;
3Philip and Bartholomi; T’oma and Mattithyahu the tax collector; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Alphai, and Laḇai whose last name was Taddai;
4Shim‛on the Kena‛anite, and Yehuḏah from Qerioth, who did also deliver Him up.
5יהושע sent these twelve out, having commanded them, saying, “Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not enter a city of the Shomeronim,
6but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ĕl.
7“And as you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The reign of the heavens has drawn near.’
8“Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received without paying, give without being paid.
9“Do not acquire gold or silver or copper for your money-belts,
10or a bag for the journey, or two undergarments, or sandals, or staffs, for the worker is worthy of his food.
11“And into whatever city or village you enter, ask who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave.
12“And as you enter into a house, greet it.
13“And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14“And whoever does not receive you nor hear your words, when you leave that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
15“Truly, I say to you, it shall be more bearable for the land of Seḏom and Amorah in the day of judgment than for that city!
16“See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise#Or cautious, crafty, shrewd. as serpents and innocent as doves.
17“But beware of men, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrins and flog you in their congregations.
18“And you shall be brought before governors and sovereigns for My sake, as a witness to them and to the nations.
19“But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it shall be given to you in that hour what you shall speak,
20for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
21“And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and a father his child. And children shall rise up against parents# Mic. 7:6 and shall put them to death.
22“And you shall be hated by all for My Name’s sake. But he who shall have endured to the end shall be saved.#See Mat. 24:13
23“And when they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For truly, I say to you, you shall by no means have gone through the cities of Yisra’ĕl before the Son of Aḏam comes.
24“A taught one is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25“It is enough for the taught one to become like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Be‛elzebul, how much more those of his household!
26“Therefore do not fear them. For whatever is covered shall be revealed, and whatever is hidden shall be made known.
27“What I say to you in the dark, speak in the light. And what you hear in the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
28“And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the being. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both being and body in GĕHinnom.
29“Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground without your Father.
30“And even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31“So do not fear, you are worth more than many sparrows.
32“Everyone, therefore, who shall confess Me before men, him I shall also confess before My Father who is in the heavens.
33“But whoever shall deny Me before men, him I shall also deny before My Father who is in the heavens.
34“Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword,#InLuke 12:51 the word “division” is used, while “sword” has the same meaning here.
35for I have come to bring division, a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law –
36and a man’s enemies are those of his own household.# Mic. 7:6#See Luke 12:53
37“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.#See Luke 16:16, 17 which explains it more clearly.
38“And he who does not take up his stake and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
39“He who has found his life shall lose it, and he that has lost his life for My sake shall find it.
40“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
41“He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous one in the name of a righteous one shall receive a righteous one’s reward.
42“And whoever gives one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a taught one, truly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Jesus Chooses the Twelve
(Mark 3.13-19; Luke 6.12-16)
1And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. 2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zeb´edee, and John his brother; 3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Al´pheus, and Lebbe´us, whose surname was Thad´de-us; 4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscar´i-ot, who also betrayed him.
The Mission of the Twelve
(Mark 6.7-13; Luke 9.1-6)
5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7#Luke 10.4-12. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. 9Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; 10#1 Cor 9.14; 1 Tim 5.18. nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. 11And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 12And when ye come into a house, salute it. 13And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14#Acts 13.51. And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15#Matt 11.24; Gen 19.24-28. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomor´rah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Coming Persecutions
16 #
Luke 10.3. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17#Mark 13.9-11; Luke 12.11,12; 21.12-15. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; 18and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against#10.18 against or to. them and the Gentiles. 19But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. 20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. 21#Mark 13.12; Luke 21.16. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22#Matt 24.9; Mark 13.13; Luke 21.17; Matt 24.13; Mark 13.13. And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 #
Luke 6.40;
John 13.16; 15.20. The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 25#Matt 9.34; 12.24; Mark 3.22; Luke 11.15. It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beel´zebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
Whom to Fear
(Luke 12.2-9)
26 #
Mark 4.22; Luke 8.17. Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. 27What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. 28And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which 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 on the ground without your Father. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33#2 Tim 2.12. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
Not Peace, but a Sword
(Luke 12.49-53; 14.26,27)
34Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35#Mic 7.6. For 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-law. 36And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38#Matt 16.24; Mark 8.34; Luke 9.23. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39#Matt 16.25; Mark 8.35; Luke 9.24; 17.33; John 12.25. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
Rewards
(Mark 9.41)
40 #
Luke 10.16; John 13.20;
Mark 9.37; Luke 9.48. He 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 receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42And whosoever shall give to drink unto 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.
