MATTHEW 10
1 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive
out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.
2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called
Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
3
Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of
Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed
him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go
among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.
6 Go rather to the
lost sheep of Israel.
7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of
heaven has come near.’
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have
leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
9 “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—
10
no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is
worth his keep.
11 Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some
worthy person and stay at their house until you leave.
12 As you enter the
home, give it your greeting.
13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest
on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.
14 If anyone will not
welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the
dust off your feet.
15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom
and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as
snakes and as innocent as doves.
17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over
to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues.
18 On my account you
will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the
Gentiles.
19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how
to say it. At that time you will be given what to say,
20 for it will not be
you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children
will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.
22 You will be
hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will
be saved.
23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I
tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son
of Man comes.
24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25
It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their
masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the
members of his household!
26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not
be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
27 What I tell you in the
dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the
roofs.
28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the
soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the
ground outside your Father’s care.
30 And even the very hairs of your head are
all numbered.
31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my
Father in heaven.
33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown
before my Father in heaven.
34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not
come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me;
anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38
Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
