Matthew 10 And he called his twelve disciples unto him, and gave them power over all unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sicknesses, and all manner of diseases.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ And he called his twelve disciples unto him, and gave them power over all unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sicknesses, and all manner of diseases. ² The names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon which is called also Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, otherwise called Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon of Canaan, and Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him. ⁵ These twelve did Jesus send, and commanded them, saying, "Go not into the ways that lead to the Gentiles, and in to the cities of the Samaritans enter ye not: ⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ Go and preach, saying that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out the devils: Freely ye have received, freely give again. ⁹ Possess not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles, ¹⁰ nor yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat. ¹¹ Into whatsoever city, or town ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence. ¹² And when ye come into a house, salute the same. ¹³ And if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it: but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you again. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor will hear your preaching, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for the land of Sodom, and Gomorra, in the day of judgment, than for that city. ¹⁶ "Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves: Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves. ¹⁷ Beware of men: for they shall deliver you up to the councils, and shall scourge you in their synagogues; ¹⁸ And ye shall be brought to the head rulers and kings for my sake, in witness to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, take no thought, how, or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you even in that same hour, what ye shall say. ²⁰ For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your father which speaketh in you. ²¹ The brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall arise against their fathers, and mothers, and shall put them to death, ²² and ye shall be hated of all men, for my name: but he that shall endureth unto the end, shall be saved. ²³ When they persecute you in one city, fly into another: I tell you for a truth, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come. ²⁴ The disciple is not above his Master, nor yet the servant above his Lord. ²⁵ It is enough for the disciple to be as his Master is, and that the servant be as his Lord is. If they have called the Lord of the house Beelzebub: how much more shall they call them of his household so? ²⁶ Fear them not therefore: there is nothing so close, that shall not be opened; and nothing so secret, that shall not be known. ²⁷ What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the housetops. ²⁸ And fear ye not them which kill the body, and be not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body into hell. ²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And none of them doth light on the ground, without your father. ³⁰ And now are all the hairs of your heads numbered. ³¹ Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. ³² Whosoever therefore shall knowledge me before men, him will I knowledge also before my father which is in heaven. ³³ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my father which is in heaven. ³⁴ Think not, that I am come to send peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. ³⁵ 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: ³⁶ And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. ³⁷ He that loveth his father or mother more than me, is not meet for me: and he that loveth his son or daughter more than me, is not meet for me. ³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross and followeth me, is not meet for me. ³⁹ He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it. ⁴⁰ He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. ⁴¹ He 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 the reward of a righteous man. ⁴² And whosoever shall give unto one of these little ones, to drink a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, I tell you of a truth, he shall not lose his reward."
