1He called to himself his twelve disciples , and gave them authority over unclean spirits , to cast them out , and to heal every disease and every sickness .
2Now the names of the twelve emissaries are these . The first , Simon , who is called Peter ; Andrew, his brother; Jacob the son of Zebedee ; Yochanan, his brother;
3Philip ; Bartholomew; Thomas ; Matthew the tax collector ; Jacob the son of Halfai; Labbai, who was also called Taddai;[#10:3 NU omits “Labbai, who was also called”]
4Simon the Zealot ; and Judah Iscariot , who also betrayed him .
5Yeshua sent these twelve out and commanded them , saying , “Don’ t go amongst the Gentiles , and don’ t enter into any city of the Samaritans .
6Rather , go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel .
7As you go , proclaim , saying , ‘ The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand !’
8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers , and cast out demons . Freely you received , so freely give .[#10:8 TR adds “raise the dead,”]
9Don’ t take any gold , silver, or brass in your money belts .
10Take no bag for your journey , neither two coats , nor sandals , nor staff : for the labourer is worthy of his food .
11Into whatever city or village you enter , find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on .
12As you enter into the household , greet it .
13If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it , but if it isn’ t worthy, let your peace return to you .
14Whoever doesn’ t receive you or hear your words , as you go out of that house or that city , shake the dust off your feet .
15Most certainly I tell you , it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement than for that city .
16“ Behold , I send you out as sheep amongst wolves . Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves .
17But beware of men , for they will deliver you up to councils , and in their synagogues they will scourge you .
18Yes , and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake , for a testimony to them and to the nations .
19But when they deliver you up , don’ t be anxious how or what you will say , for it will be given you in that hour what you will say .
20For it is not you who speak , but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you .
21“Brother will deliver up brother to death , and the father his child . Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death .
22You will be hated by all men for my name ’s sake , but he who endures to the end will be saved .
23But when they persecute you in this city , flee into the next , for most certainly I tell you , you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come .
24“ A disciple is not above his rabbi, nor a servant above his lord .
25It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and the servant like his lord . If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household ![#10:25 Literally, Lord of the Flies, or the devil]
26Therefore don’t be afraid of them , for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known .
27What I tell you in the darkness , speak in the light ; and what you hear whispered in the ear , proclaim on the housetops .
28Don’ t be afraid of those who kill the body , but are not able to kill the soul . Rather , fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehinnom.[#10:28 or, Hell.]
29“Aren’ t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father ’s will .[#10:29 An assarion is a small coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius. An assarion is approximately the wages of one half hour of agricultural labour.]
30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31Therefore don’t be afraid . You are of more value than many sparrows .
32Everyone therefore who confesses me before men , I will also confess 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“Don’ t think that I came to send peace on the earth . I didn’ t come to send peace , but a sword .
35For I came to set a man at odds against his father , and a daughter against her mother , and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law .
36A man’s foes will be those of his own household .[#Micah 7:6]
37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me ; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’ t worthy of me .
38He who doesn’ t take his cross and follow after me isn’ t worthy of me .
39He who seeks 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 him who sent me .
41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet ’s reward . He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man ’s reward .
42Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple , most certainly I tell you , he will in no way lose his reward .”
