Matthew 10

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.

Matthew 10
10
Instructions to the Twelve
1Yeshua summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, so they could drive them out and heal every kind of disease and sickness.
2Now these are the names of the twelve emissaries: first, Simon, called Peter, and his brother Andrew; Jacob the son of Zebedee and John his brother;
3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; Jacob, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4Simon the Zealot, and Judah the man from Kriot, the one who also betrayed Him.
5Yeshua sent out these twelve and ordered them, “Do not go to the Gentiles, and do not enter into any Samaritan town.
6But go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7As you go, proclaim, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near!’
8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with tza'arat, drive out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
9Do not get gold or silver or copper for your money belts,
10or a bag for the journey, or two shirts, or sandals, or a walking stick; for the worker is entitled to his food.
11“Whatever town or village you shall enter, find out who in it is worthy and stay there until you leave.
12As you come into the house, greet it.
13If the household is worthy, let your shalom come upon it. But if it’s not worthy, let your shalom return to you.
14And whoever will not receive you or listen to your words, as you leave that house or that town, shake the dust off your feet.
15Amen, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the Day of Judgment than for that town.
16“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and flog you in their synagogues.
18You will be brought before governors and kings because of Me, as a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you should say, for it shall be given to you in that hour what you should say.
20For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.
22And you will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end shall be saved.
23Whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next. Amen, I tell you, you will never finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.
25It is enough for the disciple to become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26“So do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
27What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear in your ear, proclaim from the housetops!
28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.
29“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them shall fall to the ground apart from your Father’s consent.
30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31So do not fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32“Therefore whoever acknowledges Me before men, I will also acknowledge 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“Do not think that I came to bring shalom on the earth; I did not come to bring shalom, but a sword.
35For I have come to set ‘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 will be the members of his household.’
37“He who loves father or mother more than Me isn’t worthy of Me, and he who loves son or daughter more than Me isn’t worthy of Me.
38And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after Me isn’t worthy of Me.
39He who finds 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 the One who sent Me.
41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward, and he who receives a tzaddik in the name of a tzaddik shall receive a tzaddik’s reward.
42And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, amen I tell you, he shall never lose his reward.”
