Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
7 Going on also do proclaim saying that Has drawn near the kingdom of the heavens.

9 Neither may take along gold nor silver nor copper in the belts of you,
Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.
10 nor provision-bag for [the] way nor [take] two tunics nor sandals nor a staff; worthy [is] for the workman of the provisions of him (is. *k)
Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.
11 into whatever now when city or village you may enter, do inquire who in it worthy is and there and there do remain until when you may go forth.
Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.
12 Entering now into the house do greet it.
As you enter the home, greet its occupants.
13 And if indeed shall be the house worthy, should come the peace of you upon it; only however unless it shall be worthy, the peace of you (to *NK+o) you should return.
If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.
14 And who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) unless shall receive you nor shall he hear the words of you, going forth out of the house or of the city that do shake off the dust of the feet of you!
And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town.

Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
16 Behold I myself send forth you as sheep in [the] midst of wolves; do be therefore shrewd as the serpents and innocent as the doves.

17 do beware however of men; they will deliver for you into courts and in the synagogues of them they will flog you;
But beware of men; for they will hand you over to their councils and flog you in their synagogues.
18 and before governors also and kings you will be brought on account of Me for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
19 When then (they may deliver up *N+kO) you, not may be anxious how or what you may speak; it will be given for you in that [very] hour what (you may say; *N+kO)
But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.
20 Not for you yourselves are [the] ones speaking but the Spirit of the Father of you who is speaking through you.
For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 Will deliver up now brother brother to death and father child; And will rise up children against parents and will put to death them.
Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.
22 And you will be hated by all on account of the name of Me; the [one] however having endured to [the] end, he will be saved.
You will be hated by everyone because of My name, but the one who perseveres to the end will be saved.
23 Whenever then they may persecute you in the city one, do flee to (a different; *N+kO) Amen for I say to you; certainly not shall you have completed the cities of Israel until when may come the Son of Man.
When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next. Truly I tell you, you will not reach all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24 Not is a disciple above the teacher nor [is] a servant above the master of him.
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25 [It is] sufficient for the disciple that he may become as the teacher of him and the servant as the master of him. If the master of the house Beelzebul (they called on, *N+kO) how much more those house members of him?
It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26 Not therefore do fear them; no [thing] for is concealed which not will be revealed or hidden which not will be known.
So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
27 What I tell you in the darkness do speak in the light, and what in the ear you hear do proclaim upon the housetops!
What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.
28 And not (do be afraid *N+kO) of those killing the body, the however soul not being able to kill; (do be afraid *N+kO) however rather the [One] being able both soul and body to destroy in hell. (Geenna g1067)
Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. (Geenna g1067)
29 Surely two sparrows for an assarion are sold? And one of them not will fall to the ground apart from the Father of you!
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
30 Of you now even the hairs of the head all numbered are.
And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Not therefore (do fear; *N+kO) than many sparrows are worth more you yourselves.
So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32 Everyone therefore who will confess in Me myself before men, will confess also I myself also I myself in him before the Father of Mine who [is] in (the *no) heavens.
Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.
33 Whoever now maybe may deny Me before men, will deny I myself also I myself also him before the Father of Mine who [is] in (the *no) heavens.
But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34 Not may you think that I came to bring peace to the earth; not I came to bring peace but a sword.
Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35 I came for to set at variance A man against the father of him and a daughter against the mother of her and a daughter-in-law against the mother-in-law of her;
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 And enemies of the man the household of him.
A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37 The [one] loving father or mother above Me myself not is of Me worthy, and the [one] loving son or daughter above Me myself not is of Me worthy;
Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38 And he who not takes the cross of him and follows after Me, not is of Me worthy.
and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
39 The [one] having found the life of him will lose it and the [one] having lost the life of him on account of Me will find it.
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
40 The [One] receiving you Me myself receives, and the [one] Me myself receiving he receives the [One] having sent Me.
He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.
41 The [one] receiving a prophet in [the] name of a prophet [the] reward of a prophet will receive, and the [one] receiving a righteous [man] in [the] name of a righteous [man] [the] reward of a righteous [man] will receive.
Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42 And who[ever] (maybe *N+kO) shall give to drink to one of the little ones of these a cup of cold [water] only in [the] name of a disciple, Amen I say to you; certainly not shall he lose the reward of him.
And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is My disciple, truly I tell you, he will never lose his reward.”
