Matthew 10

1And he calledG4341 unto him his twelveG1427 disciplesG3101, and gaveG1325 them authorityG1849 over uncleanG169 spiritsG4151, to castG1544 them out, and to healG2323 all manner of diseaseG3554 and all manner of sicknessG3119.

2NowG1161 the namesG3686 of the twelveG1427 apostlesG652 areG1510 these: The firstG4413, SimonG4613, who isG1510 called PeterG4074, and AndrewG406 his brotherG80; JamesG2385 thesonof ZebedeeG2199, and JohnG2491 his brotherG80; 3PhilipG5376, and BartholomewG918; ThomasG2381, and MatthewG3156 the publican; JamesG2385 the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus; 4SimonG4613 the Cananæan, and JudasG2455 IscariotG2469, who alsoG2532 betrayedG3860 him.

5These twelveG1427 JesusG2424 sentG649 forthG649, and charged them, sayingG3004, GoG565 not into any wayG3598 of the GentilesG1484, and enterG1525 not into any cityG4172 of the SamaritansG4541: 6but goG4198 ratherG3123 to the lostG622 sheepG4263 of the houseG3624 of IsraelG2474. 7And as ye goG4198, preachG2784, sayingG3004, The kingdomG932 of heavenG3772 is at hand. 8HealG2323 the sickG770, raiseG1453 the deadG3498, cleanseG2511 the lepersG3015, castG1544 out demonsG1140: freelyG1432 ye receivedG2983, freelyG1432 giveG1325. 9Get you no goldG5557, nor silverG696, nor brass in your purses; 10no wallet for your journeyG3598, neither twoG1417 coats, nor shoes, nor staffG4464: for the laborer is worthyG514 of his foodG5160. 11And into whatsoever cityG4172 or villageG2968 ye shall enterG1525, search out who in it isG1510 worthyG514; and there abideG3306 till ye goG1831 forthG1831. 12And as ye enterG1525 into the houseG3614, salute it. 13And if the houseG3614 beG1510 worthyG514, let your peaceG1515 comeG2064 upon it: but if it beG1510 not worthyG514, let your peaceG1515 returnG1994 to you. 14And whosoever shall not receiveG1209 you, nor hearG191 your wordsG3056, as ye goG1831 forthG1831 out of that houseG3614 or that cityG4172, shakeG1621 off the dustG2868 of your feetG4228. 15Verily I sayG3004 unto you, It shall beG1510 moreG414 tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of SodomG4670 and GomorrahG1116 in the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, than for that cityG4172.

16BeholdG2400, I sendG649 you forthG649 as sheepG4263 in the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074: be ye thereforeG3767 wiseG5429 as serpentsG3789, and harmless as dovesG4058. 17But bewareG4337 of menG444: for they will deliverG3860 you up to councilsG4892, and in their synagoguesG4864 they will scourge you; 18yea and before governorsG2232 and kingsG935 shall ye be broughtG71 for my sakeG1752, for a testimonyG3142 to them and to the GentilesG1484. 19But whenG3752 they deliverG3860 you up, be not anxiousG3309 howG4459 or what ye shall speakG2980: for it shall be givenG1325 you in that hourG5610 what ye shall speakG2980. 20For it isG1510 not ye that speakG2980, but the SpiritG4151 of your FatherG3962 that speaketh in you. 21And brotherG80 shall deliverG3860 up brotherG80 to deathG2288, and the fatherG3962 his childG5043: and childrenG5043 shall riseG1881 up against parentsG1118, and cause them to be putG2289 to deathG2288. 22And ye shall beG1510 hatedG3404 of all men for my name’sG3686 sakeG1223: but he that endureth to the endG5056, the same shall beG1510 savedG4982. 23But whenG3752 they persecuteG1377 you in this cityG4172, fleeG5343 into the nextG2087: for verily I sayG3004 unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the citiesG4172 of IsraelG2474, till the SonG5207 of manG444 be comeG2064.

24A discipleG3101 isG1510 not above his teacherG1320, nor a servantG1401 above his lordG2962. 25It is enough for the discipleG3101 that he be as his teacherG1320, and the servantG1401 as his lordG2962. If they have calledG1941 the masterG2962 of the houseG3617 Beelzebub, howG5613 muchG4214 moreG3123 them of his household! 26FearG5399 them not thereforeG3767: for there isG1510 nothing coveredG2572, that shall not beG1510 revealedG601; and hid, that shall not beG1510 knownG1097. 27What I tellG3004 you in the darknessG4653, speakG3004 ye in the lightG5457; and what ye hearG191 in the earG3775, proclaimG2784 upon the house-tops. 28And be not afraidG5399 of them that killG615 the bodyG4983, but are not ableG1410 to killG615 the soulG5590: but ratherG3123 fearG5399 him who is ableG1410 to destroyG622 both soulG5590 and bodyG4983 in hellG1067. 29Are not twoG1417 sparrowsG4765 soldG4453 for a penny? and not oneG1520 of them shall fallG4098 on the groundG1093 without your FatherG3962: 30but the very hairsG2359 of your headG2776 areG1510 all numberedG705. 31FearG5399 not thereforeG3767: ye are of moreG4183 value than manyG4183 sparrowsG4765. 32Every one thereforeG3767 who shall confessG3670 me before menG444, him will I also confessG3670 before my FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 33But whosoever shall denyG720 me before menG444, him will I alsoG1161 denyG720 before my FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

34ThinkG3543 not that I cameG2064 to send peaceG1515 on the earthG1093: I cameG2064 not to send peaceG1515, but a swordG3162. 35For I cameG2064 to set a manG444 at variance against his fatherG3962, and the daughterG2364 against her motherG3384, and the daughterG2364 in law against her motherG3384 in law: 36and a man’sG444 foes shall be they of his own household. 37He that loveth fatherG3962 or motherG3384 more than me isG1510 not worthyG514 of me; and he that loveth sonG5207 or daughterG2364 more than me isG1510 not worthyG514 of me. 38And he that doth not takeG2983 his crossG4716 and followG190 after me, isG1510 not worthyG514 of me. 39He that findeth his lifeG5590 shall loseG622 it; and he that loseth his lifeG5590 for my sakeG1752 shall findG2147 it.

40He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sentG649 me. 41He that receiveth a prophetG4396 in the nameG3686 of a prophetG4396 shall receiveG2983 a prophet’sG4396 rewardG3408: and he that receiveth a righteousG1342 manG1342 in the nameG3686 of a righteousG1342 manG1342 shall receiveG2983 a righteousG1342 man’sG1342 rewardG3408. 42And whosoever shall giveG4222 to drinkG4222 unto oneG1520 of these littleG3398 onesG3398 a cupG4221 of coldG5593 waterG4222 onlyG3440, in the nameG3686 of a discipleG3101, verily I sayG3004 unto you he shall in no wise loseG622 his rewardG3408.
