And when he had called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

6 But be going, rather, unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And, as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of the heavens hath drawn near!
And as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely you have received, freely give.
9 Ye may procure—neither gold, nor silver, nor copper, for your belts, —
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10 neither satchel for journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff; for, worthy, is the labourer, of his maintenance.
Nor money for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
11 And, into whatsoever city or village ye enter, search out who in it is, worthy, and, there, abide, till ye go forth.
And into whatever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till you go there.
12 And, as ye enter the house, salute it;
And when you come into an house, salute it.
13 And, if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it, but, if it be not worthy, let your peace, unto you, return.
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 And, whosoever shall neither welcome you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth outside that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet:
And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
15 Verily, I say unto you, —More tolerable, will it be, for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for, that, city!
Truly I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16 Lo! I, send you forth as sheep amidst wolves; become ye therefore—prudent, as serpents, and simple, as doves.
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the middle of wolves: be you therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men; for they will deliver you up into high-councils, and, in their synagogues, will they scourge you, —
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues;
18 And, before both governor and kings, shall ye be brought, for my sake—for a witness to them and the nations.
And you shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 And, when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak, —for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what you shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what you shall speak.
20 For it is not, ye, who are speaking, but, the Spirit of your Father, that is speaking in you.
For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.
21 And, brother, will deliver up, brother, unto death, and, father, child, —and, children, will rise up, against parents, and will put them to death.
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye will be hated by all, because of my name, —but, he that endureth throughout, the same, shall be saved.
And you shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved.
23 And, when they persecute you in this city, flee into another, —for, verily, I say unto you, in nowise shall ye finish the cities of Israel, till, he Son of Man, come.
But when they persecute you in this city, flee you into another: for truly I say to you, You shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 A, disciple, is not above, the teacher, nor, a servant, above, his lord:
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 Sufficient for the disciple, that he become, as his teacher, and, the servant, as, his lord. If, the master of the house, Beelzebul, they called, how much more, the men of his house!
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Then do not fear them, —for, nothing hath been covered, which shall not be, uncovered, and, hidden, which shall not be, made known.
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I am saying to you in the darkness, tell ye in the light, —and, what [whispered] into the ear ye are hearing, proclaim ye on the housetops.
What I tell you in darkness, that speak you in light: and what you hear in the ear, that preach you on the housetops.
28 And be not in fear, by reason of them that are killing the body, —and, the soul, are not able to kill. But fear, rather, him who is able, both soul and body, to destroy in gehenna! (Geenna g1067)
And fear 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. (Geenna g1067)
29 Are not, two sparrows, for a farthing, sold? And, one from among them, shall not fall upon the ground, without your Father;
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But, even the hairs of, your, head, have all been numbered.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Then be not in fear—than many sparrows, better are, ye!
Fear you not therefore, you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also, will confess, him, before my Father who is in the heavens;
Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But, whoever shall deny me before men, I also, will deny, him, before my Father who is in the heavens.
But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
34 Do not think, that I came to thrust peace upon the earth, —I came not to thrust, peace, but, a sword;
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I came to set at variance—a man, against, his father, and, a daughter, against, her mother, and, a bride, against, her mother-in-law;
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 foes, are, they of his own house.
And a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother above me, is not, worthy, of me, —and, he that loveth son or daughter above me, is not, worthy, of me;
He that loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And, he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not, worthy, of me.
And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that hath found his life, shall lose it, —and, he that hath lost his life, for my sake, shall find it.
He that finds his life shall lose it: and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that giveth welcome unto you, unto me, giveth welcome, and, he that, unto me, giveth welcome, giveth welcome—unto him that sent me forth.
He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
41 He that giveth welcome unto a prophet, in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet, shall receive; and, he that giveth welcome unto a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, the reward of a righteous man, shall receive; —
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, whosoever shall give to drink—unto one of these little ones—a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, Verily, I say unto you, in nowise, shall lose his reward!
And whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
