Matthew 10
- 1And when he had called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of sickness and every kind 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 Zebedee, and John his brother.
- 3Philip, and Bartholomew. Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector. James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus.
- 4Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
- 5These twelve Jesus sent out, and commanded them, saying, Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
- 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
- 7And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
- 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
- 9Provide no gold, or silver, or copper coins in your purses,
- 10No bag for your journey, no second coat, no shoes, and no staffs. For the workman is worthy of his food.
- 11And into whatever city or town you shall enter, ask who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go from there.
- 12And when you come into a house, greet it.
- 13And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
- 14And whoever shall not receive you, or hear your words, when you leave that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
- 15Truly I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
- 16I send you out as sheep in the middle of wolves. So be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
- 17But beware of men. For they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues.
- 18And you shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
- 19But when they deliver you up, do not worry how or what you shall speak. For it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak.
- 20For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
- 21And 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.
- 22And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end shall be saved.
- 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another. For truly I say to you, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man has come.
- 24The disciple is not above his master, or the servant above his lord.
- 25It 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 Beelzebub, how much more shall they call those of his household?
- 26Do not fear them 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 in light. And what you hear in the ear, that preach on the rooftops.
- 28And do not fear those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
- 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And one of them shall not fall on the ground apart from your Father.
- 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
- 31Do not fear therefore. You are of more value than many sparrows.
- 32Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father who is in heaven.
- 33But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
- 34Do not think that I have come to send peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
- 35For I have come to set a man 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 those of his own household.
- 37He 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.
- 38And he who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
- 39He who finds his life shall lose it. And he who loses his life for my sake shall find it.
- 40He 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 shall receive a prophet's reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
- 42And whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall in no way lose his reward.
