Chapter 10
1. The gift of healing given to the Apostles. 5 They are sent to preach the Gospel. 13 Peace. 14 Shaking off the dust. 16 Affliction. 22 Continuance to the end. 23 Flying from persecution 28 Fear 29 Two sparrows 30 Hairs of our head 32 To acknowledge Christ 34 Peace and the sword 35 Variance 37 Love of parents 38 The cross 39 To lose the life 40 To receive a preacher
And 1* he called his twelve disciples unto him, and gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every sickness, and every disease.
2 Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these. The a first
is Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother: James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother.
3 Philip and Bartholomew: Thomas, and Matthew that
publican: James the son
of Alpheus, and Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus.
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas b Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying,
Go not into the way of the gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter ye not.
6
But go rather * to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 *2 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 3
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers: raise up the dead: Freely ye + have received, freely give.
9 *4
Possess c not gold nor silver, nor money in your girdles,
10
Nor a scrip, for the journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor a staff: * for the workman is worthy of his d meat.
11 5 And into * whatever city or town ye shall come, enquire who is
worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence.
12
And when ye come in into an house, salute the same.
13
And if the house be worthy, let your e peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 *
And whosoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, * shake off the dust of your feet.
15
Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for them of the land Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement, then for that city.
16 ¶ *6
Behold I send you out as f
sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and g
innocent as doves.
17
But beware of h
men, for they will deliver you up to the councils, and will scourge you in their
synagogues.
18 And ye shall be brought to the governors and
kings for my sake, in witness to them, and to the gentiles.
19 * But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour, what ye shall say.
20
For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your father which speaketh in you.
21
And the * brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son, and the children shall rise against
their parents, and shall cause them to die.
22
And ye shall be hated of all men for my Name: * but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saved.
23
And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another: for verily I say unto you, ye shall not i go over
all the cities of Israel, till the son of man be come.
24 * The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his
lord.
25
It is enough for the disciple to be as his master is, and the servant as his
lord. * If they have called the master of the house j
Beelzebub, how much them of his household?
26 k
Fear them not therefore: * for there is nothing covered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be known.
27
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the l houses.
28
And m fear ye not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him, which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29
Are not two sparrows sold for a n farthing, and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your father?
30 * Yea, and all the hairs of your head are numbered.
31
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value then many sparrows.
32 7*
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my father which is in heaven.
33
But whosoever shall deny me before men him, will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 *8
Think not that I am come to send peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.
35
For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 *
And a man's enemies shall be they of his own household.
37 *9
He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me. And he that loveth son or daughter more then me, is not worthy of me.
38 * And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after
me, is not worthy of me.
39 * He that will o find his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.
40 10 He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
41 *11 He that receiveth a
prophet in p the name of a prophet, shall receive a
prophet's reward: and he that receiveth a righteous
man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man.
42 * And whosoever shall give unto one of these q little ones to drink a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily
I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
