Chapter 10
Matt ACV 10:1  And having called in his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every sickness and every disease.
Matt ACV 10:2  Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother,
Matt ACV 10:3  Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus who was surnamed Thaddaeus,
Matt ACV 10:4  Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
Matt ACV 10:5  These twelve Jesus sent forth, having ordered them, saying, Go not into a way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans,
Matt ACV 10:6  but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matt ACV 10:7  And while going, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has come near.
Matt ACV 10:8  Heal those who are feeble, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely ye received, freely give.
Matt ACV 10:9  Acquire no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,
Matt ACV 10:10  no bag for the road, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staffs, for the workman is worthy of his provision.
Matt ACV 10:11  And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide until ye go forth.
Matt ACV 10:13  And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Matt ACV 10:14  And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, while departing that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
Matt ACV 10:15  Truly 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.
Matt ACV 10:16  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Become ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves.
Matt ACV 10:17  But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues,
Matt ACV 10:18  and ye will be brought to governors and even kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
Matt ACV 10:19  But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye should speak, for it will be given you in that hour what ye will speak.
Matt ACV 10:20  For ye are not who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
Matt ACV 10:21  And a brother will deliver up a brother to death, and a father a child. And children will rise up against parents, and condemn them to death.
Matt ACV 10:22  And ye will be hated by all men because of my name, but he who endures to the end, this man will be saved.
Matt ACV 10:23  But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other, for truly I say to you, ye will, no, not have completed the cities of Israel, until the Son of man comes.
Matt ACV 10:24  A pupil is not above his teacher, nor a bondman above his lord.
Matt ACV 10:25  It is enough for the pupil that he becomes like his teacher, and the bondman like his lord. If they have called the house-ruler Beelzebub, how much more those of his household.
Matt ACV 10:26  Fear them not therefore, for there is nothing covered, that will not be revealed, and hid, that will not be known.
Matt ACV 10:27  What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light, and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the housetops.
Matt ACV 10:28  And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. But rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matt ACV 10:29  Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall on the ground independent of your Father.
Matt ACV 10:30  But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
Matt ACV 10:31  Fear not therefore, ye are of worth more than many sparrows.
Matt ACV 10:32  Therefore every man, whoever will profess in me before men, I also will profess in him before my Father in the heavens.
Matt ACV 10:33  But whoever would deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father in the heavens.
Matt ACV 10:34  Think not that I came to spread peace on the earth. I came not to spread peace, but a sword.
Matt ACV 10:35  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.
Matt ACV 10:36  And a man's foes, are those of his own household.
Matt ACV 10:37  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.
Matt ACV 10:38  And he who does not take his cross and follow behind me, is not worthy of me.
Matt ACV 10:39  He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life because of me will find it.
Matt ACV 10:40  He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.
Matt ACV 10:41  He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man's reward.
Matt ACV 10:42  And whoever may give to drink one of these little ones merely a cold cup in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you he will, no, not lose his reward.
