Matthew 10

Whiston(i) 1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power [over] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease. 2 Now 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, 3 Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the publican, James [the son] of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, 4 And Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Scarioth, who also betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, and said, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not. 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out dæmons: freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses: 10 Nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his meat. 11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter into it, enquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till ye go thence. 12 And when ye come into an house, salute it, saying, Peace be to this house. 13 If the House be worthy, your peace shall be upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: when ye depart out of the city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city. 16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. 17 Beware of men, for they will deliver you up to the sanhedrim, and they will scourge you in their synagogues. 18 And ye shall stand before governors for my sake, for a testimony to them, and the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of the Father who speaketh in you. 21 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 And ye shall be hated of all for my names sake: but he that endureth to the end, shall be saved. 23 But when they shall persecute you in this city, flee ye unto another: and if they persecute you in the other, flee ye unto another: Verily I say unto you, ye shall not finish the cities of Israel till the Son of man come. 24 The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above the lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as the master, and the servant as his lord: if they shall call the master of the House Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? 26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be made known. 27 What I tell you in darkness, speak ye in the light: and what ye hear in the ear, preach ye upon the house-tops. 28 And fear not them who kill the body, but are nor able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. 29 Do they not sell two sparrows for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. 30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbred. 31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in the heavens. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in the heavens. 34 Think not that I come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a son at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter in law against her mother in law. 36 And a mans foes [shall be] those of his own household. 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: 38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: but 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 prophets reward. 42 And whosoever shall give to drink to one o the least of these, a cup of cold water, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, his reward shall not be lost.
