Matthew 10:9-42

91Do not acquireG2932 goldG5557, orG3366 silverG696, orG3366 copperG5475 for your moneyG2223 beltsG2223, 10orG3361 a 2bagG4082 for your journeyG3598, orG3366 evenG3366 twoG1417 3tunicsG5509, orG3366 sandalsG5266, orG3366 a staffG4464; for 4the workerG2040 is deservingG514 of his 5supportG5160. 11And whateverG3739G302 cityG4172 orG2228 villageG2968 you enterG1525, inquireG1833 whoG5101 is worthyG514 in it, and stayG3306 6atG2546 his houseG2546 untilG2193 you leaveG1831 that city. 12As you enterG1525 the 7houseG3614, 8giveG782 it your 9greetingG782. 13IfG1437 the houseG3614 is worthyG514, see that your blessing of peaceG1515 comesG2064 upon it. But ifG1437 it is not worthyG514, 10takeG1994 backG1994 your blessing of peaceG1515. 14And whoeverG3739 does not receiveG1209 you norG3366 listenG191 to your wordsG3056, as you leaveG1831 that houseG3614 orG2228 cityG4172, 11shakeG1621 the dustG2868 offG1621 your feetG4228. 15TrulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, 12it will be moreG414 tolerableG414 for the landG1093 of 13SodomG4670 and GomorrahG1116 on 14the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920, thanG2228 for that cityG4172.

16“15BeholdG2400, I am sendingG649 you outG649 as sheepG4263 inG649 the midstG3319 of wolvesG3074; soG3767 be as 16waryG5429 as serpentsG3789, and as 17innocentG185 as dovesG4058. 17But beG4337 onG4337 guardG4337 againstG4337G575 peopleG444, for they will handG3860 you overG3860 to the 18courtsG4892 and flogG3146 you 19in their synagoguesG4864; 18and you will evenG2532 be broughtG71 beforeG1909 governorsG2232 and kingsG935 on My accountG1752, as a testimonyG3142 to them and to the GentilesG1484. 1920But whenG3752 they handG3860 you overG3860, 21do not worryG3309 aboutG3309 howG4459 orG2228 whatG5101 you are to sayG2980; for whatG5101 you are to sayG2980 will be givenG1325 you in that hourG5610. 20For 22it is not you who are speakingG2980, but it is the SpiritG4151 of your FatherG3962 who is speakingG2980 23in you.

21“NowG1161 24brotherG80 will betrayG3860 brotherG80 to deathG2288, and a fatherG3962 his childG5043; and 25childrenG5043 will riseG1881 upG1881 againstG1909 parentsG1118 and 26causeG2289 them toG2289 beG2289 putG2289 toG2289 deathG2289. 22And 27you will be hatedG3404 by allG3956 becauseG1223 of My nameG3686, but 28it is the one who has enduredG5278 to the endG5056 whoG3778 will be savedG4982.

23“But wheneverG3752 they 29persecuteG1377 you in 30oneG3778 cityG4172, fleeG5343 to the 31nextG2087; for trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, you will not finishG5055 going through the citiesG4172 of IsraelG2474 32untilG2193 the SonG5207 of ManG444 comesG2064.

24“33A 34discipleG3101 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. 35IfG1487 they have calledG1941 the headG3617 ofG3617 theG3617 houseG3617 3637BeelzebulG954, howG4214 muchG4214 moreG3123 will they insult the membersG3615 ofG3615 his householdG3615!

26“SoG3767 do not 38fearG5399 them, 39for there is nothingG3762 concealedG2572 that will not be revealedG601, orG2532 hiddenG2927 that will not be knownG1097. 2740WhatG3739 I tellG3004 you in the darknessG4653, tellG3004 in the lightG5457; and whatG3739 you hearG191 whispered in your earG3775, proclaimG2784 41on the housetopsG1430G1909. 28And do not beG5399 afraidG5399 of thoseG3588 who killG615 the bodyG4983 but are unableG3361G1410 to killG615 the soulG5590; but ratherG3123 42fearG5399 Him who is ableG1410 to destroyG622 bothG2532 soulG5590 and bodyG4983 in 4344hellG1067. 2945Are twoG1417 sparrowsG4765 not soldG4453 for an 46assarionG787? And yet not oneG1520 of them will fallG4098 to the groundG1093 apartG427 from your FatherG3962. 30But 47evenG2532 the hairsG2359 of your headG2776 are allG3956 countedG705. 31SoG3767 do not fearG5399; 48you are moreG1308 valuableG1308 than a greatG4183 numberG4183 of sparrowsG4765.

32“ThereforeG3767, 49everyoneG3956 whoG3748 50confessesG3670 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 confessG3670 51him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772. 33But 52whoeverG3748G302 deniesG720 Me beforeG1715 peopleG444, I will alsoG2532 denyG720 him beforeG1715 My FatherG3962 who is in heavenG3772.

34“53Do not thinkG3543 that I cameG2064 to 54bringG906 peaceG1515 on the earthG1093; I did not comeG2064 to 55bringG906 peaceG1515, but a swordG3162. 35For I cameG2064 to 56turnG1369 a manG444 againstG2596 his fatherG3962, and a daughterG2364 againstG2596 her motherG3384, and a daughter-in-lawG3565 againstG2596 her mother-in-lawG3994; 36and 57a person’sG444 enemiesG2190 will be the membersG3615 of his householdG3615.

37“58The 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 59the one whoG3739 does not takeG2983 his crossG4716 and followG190 afterG3694 Me is not worthyG514 of Me. 3960The one who has foundG2147 his 61lifeG5590 will loseG622 it, and the one who has lostG622 his 62lifeG5590 on My accountG1752 will findG2147 it.

40“63The one who 64receivesG1209 you 65receivesG1209 Me, and 66the one who 67receivesG1209 Me 68receivesG1209 Him who sentG649 Me. 4169The one who 70receivesG1209 a prophetG4396 in the nameG3686 of a prophetG4396 shall receiveG2983 a prophet’sG4396 rewardG3408; and the one who 71receivesG1209 a righteousG1342 personG1342 in the nameG3686 of a righteousG1342 personG1342 shall receiveG2983 a righteousG1342 person’sG1342 rewardG3408. 42And 72whoeverG3739G1437 givesG4222 oneG1520 of theseG3778 73littleG3398 onesG3398 justG3441 a cupG4221 of coldG5593 water toG4222 drinkG4222 in the nameG3686 of a discipleG3101, trulyG281 I sayG3004 to you, he shall by noG3364 meansG3364 loseG622 his rewardG3408.”
