Matthew 10:14-40

14And whoeverG3739 does not receiveG1209 you norG3366 listenG191 to your wordsG3056, as you leaveG1831 that houseG3614 orG2228 cityG4172, 1shakeG1621 the dustG2868 offG1621 your feetG4228. 15TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 2it will be moreG414 tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of 3SodomG4670 and GomorrahG1116 on 4the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for that cityG4172.

16“5BeholdG2400, I am sendingG649 you outG649 as sheepG4263 inG649 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074; soG3767 be as 6waryG5429 as serpentsG3789, and as 7innocentG185 as dovesG4058. 17But beG4337 onG4337 guardG4337 againstG4337G575 peopleG444, for they will handG3860 you overG3860 to the 8courtsG4892 and flogG3146 you 9in their synagoguesG4864; 18and you will evenG2532 be broughtG71 beforeG1909 governorsG2232 and kingsG935 on My accountG1752, as a testimonyG3142 to them and to the GentilesG1484. 1910But whenG3752 they handG3860 you overG3860, 11do not worryG3309 aboutG3309 howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 you are to sayG2980; for whatG5101 you are to sayG2980 will be givenG1325 you in that hourG5610. 20For 12it is not you who are speakingG2980, but it is the SpiritG4151 of your FatherG3962 who is speakingG2980 13in you.

21“NowG1161 14brotherG80 will betrayG3860 brotherG80 to deathG2288, and a fatherG3962 his childG5043; and 15childrenG5043 will riseG1881 upG1881 againstG1909 parentsG1118 and 16causeG2289 them toG2289 beG2289 putG2289 toG2289 deathG2289. 22And 17you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686, but 18it is the one who has enduredG5278 to the endG5056 whoG3778 will be savedG4982.

23“But wheneverG3752 they 19persecuteG1377 you in 20oneG3778 cityG4172, fleeG5343 to the 21nextG2087; for trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, you will not finishG5055 going through the citiesG4172 of IsraelG2474 22untilG2193 the SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064.

24“23A 24discipleG3101 is not aboveG5228 his teacherG1320, norG3761 a slaveG1401 aboveG5228 his masterG2962. 25It is enoughG713 for the discipleG3101 that he may becomeG1096 likeG5613 his teacherG1320, and the slaveG1401 likeG5613 his masterG2962. 25IfG1487 they have calledG1941 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 2627BeelzebulG954, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will they insult the membersG3615 ofG3615 his householdG3615!

26“SoG3767 do not 28fearG5399 them, 29for there is nothingG3762 concealedG2572 that will not be revealedG601, orG2532 hiddenG2927 that will not be knownG1097. 2730WhatG3739 I tellG3004 you in the darknessG4653, tellG3004 in the lightG5457; and whatG3739 you hearG191 whispered in your earG3775, proclaimG2784 31on the housetopsG1430G1909. 28And do not beG5399 afraidG5399 of thoseG3588 who killG615 the bodyG4983 but are unableG3361G1410 to killG615 the soulG5590; but ratherG3123 32fearG5399 Him who is ableG1410 to destroyG622 bothG2532 soulG5590 and bodyG4983 in 3334hellG1067. 2935Are twoG1417 sparrowsG4765 not soldG4453 for an 36assarionG787? And yet not oneG1520 of them will fallG4098 to the groundG1093 apartG427 from your FatherG3962. 30But 37evenG2532 the hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 countedG705. 31SoG3767 do not fearG5399; 38you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than a greatG4183 numberG4183 of sparrowsG4765.

32“ThereforeG3767, 39everyoneG3956 whoG3748 40confessesG3670 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 confessG3670 41him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 33But 42whoeverG3748G302 deniesG720 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 denyG720 him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

34“43Do not thinkG3543 that I cameG2064 to 44bringG906 peaceG1515 on the earthG1093; I did not comeG2064 to 45bringG906 peaceG1515, but a swordG3162. 35For I cameG2064 to 46turnG1369 a manG444 againstG2596 his fatherG3962, and a daughterG2364 againstG2596 her motherG3384, and a daughter-in-lawG3565 againstG2596 her mother-in-lawG3994; 36and 47a person’sG444 enemiesG2190 will be the membersG3615 of his householdG3615.

37“48The one who lovesG5368 fatherG3962 orG2228 motherG3384 moreG5228 thanG5228 Me is not worthyG514 of Me; and the one who lovesG5368 sonG5207 orG2228 daughterG2364 moreG5228 thanG5228 Me is not worthyG514 of Me. 38And 49the one whoG3739 does not takeG2983 his crossG4716 and followG190 afterG3694 Me is not worthyG514 of Me. 3950The one who has foundG2147 his 51lifeG5590 will loseG622 it, and the one who has lostG622 his 52lifeG5590 on My accountG1752 will findG2147 it.

40“53The one who 54receivesG1209 you 55receivesG1209 Me, and 56the one who 57receivesG1209 Me 58receivesG1209 Him who sentG649 Me.
