And having called to [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
2 Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these: the First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;

5 Jesus sent these twelve, instructing them, saying: “Do not travel by the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into the city of the Samaritans,
These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;
6 but instead go to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And going forth, preach, saying: ‘For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.’
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
8 Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.
Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.
9 Do not choose to possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your belts,
Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,
10 nor provisions for the journey, nor two tunics, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer deserves his portion.
nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
11 Now, into whatever city or town you will enter, inquire as to who is worthy within it. And stay there until you depart.
But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.
12 Then, when you enter into the house, greet it, saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
And as ye enter into a house salute it.
13 And if, indeed, that house is worthy, your peace will rest upon it. But if it is not worthy, your peace will return to you.
And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And whoever has neither received you, nor listened to your words, departing from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Amen I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
16 Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be as prudent as serpents and as simple as doves.
Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.
17 But beware of men. For they will hand you over to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.
But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And you shall be led before both rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 But when they hand you over, do not choose to think about how or what to speak. For what to speak shall be given to you in that hour.
But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not you who will be speaking, but the Spirit of your Father, who will speak in you.
For ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.
21 And brother will hand over brother to death, and father will hand over son. And children will rise up against parents and bring about their deaths.
But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;
22 And you will be hated by all for the sake of my name. But whoever will have persevered, even to the end, the same shall be saved.
and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, he shall be saved.
23 Now when they persecute you in one city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you will not have exhausted all the cities of Israel, before the Son of man returns.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above the teacher, nor is the servant above his master.
The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord.
25 It is sufficient for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant, like his master. If they have called the Father of the family, ‘Beelzebub,’ how much more those of his household?
[It is] sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?
26 Therefore, do not fear them. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed, nor hidden that shall not be known.
Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, speak in the light. And what you hear whispered in the ear, preach above the rooftops.
What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses.
28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But instead fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Hell. (Geenna g1067)
And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not two sparrows sold for one small coin? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father.
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father;
30 For even the hairs of your head have all been numbered.
but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered.
31 Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
Fear not therefore; ye are better than many sparrows.
32 Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also will confess him before my Father who is in [the] heavens.
33 But whoever will have denied me before men, I also will deny before my Father, who is in heaven.
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in [the] heavens.
34 Do not think that I came to send peace upon the earth. I came, not to send peace, but the sword.
Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I came to divide a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law;
36 And the enemies of a man will be those of his own household.
and they of his household [shall be] a man's enemies.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
38 And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
39 Whoever finds his life, will lose it. And whoever will have lost his life because of me, shall find it.
He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.
40 Whoever receives you, receives me. And whoever receives me, receives him who sent me.
He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
41 Whoever receives a prophet, in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet. And whoever receives the just in the name of the just shall receive the reward of the just.
He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whoever shall give, even to one of the least of these, a cup of cold water to drink, solely in the name of a disciple: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold [water] only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
