ABP - Matthew - 10

10:1  And having called on [2twelve 3disciples 1his], he gave to them authority [2spirits 1of unclean], so as to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every infirmity.

10:2  And of the twelve apostles, the names are these; first Simon the one being called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

10:3  Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus the one called Thaddaeus;

10:4  Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, the one also having delivered him up.

10:5  These twelve Jesus sent, exhorting them, saying, Unto the way of the nations you should not go forth, and unto a city of Samaritans you should not enter.

10:6  But you go rather to the [2sheep 1lost] of the house of Israel!

10:7  And going, proclaim! saying that, [5approaches 1The 2kingdom 3of the 4heavens].

10:8  Ones being weak cure! Dead raise up! Leprous cleanse! Demons cast out! Freely you received, freely you give!

10:9  You should not acquire gold, nor silver, nor brass coin in your belts,

10:10  nor a provision bag for the way, nor two inner garments, nor sandals, nor rods; [5worth 1for 2the 3worker 6his provision 4is].

10:11  And into whatever city or town you should enter, inquire diligently who in it is worthy, and there remain until whenever you should go forth!

10:12  And entering into the house, greet it!

10:13  And if indeed [3might be 1the 2house] worthy, let [2come 1your peace] upon it! But if it might not be worthy, [2your peace 4to 5you 1let 3return]!

10:14  And who ever should not receive you, nor should hear your words, in going forth from the residence or that city, shake off the dust of your feet!

10:15  Amen I say to you, More endurable will it be to the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than to that city.

10:16  Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be then skilled as the serpents, and unmixed as the doves!

10:17  And take heed of the men! for they shall deliver you unto sanhedrins, and in their synagogues they shall whip you.

10:18  And before governors also and kings you shall be led because of me, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

10:19  And whenever they deliver you, be not anxious how or what you should speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what you should speak;

10:20  [4not 1for 2you 3are] the ones speaking, but the spirit of your father, the one speaking in you.

10:21  [3shall deliver up 1But 2brother] brother unto death, and a father a child. And [2shall rise up 1children] against parents, and shall put them to death.

10:22  And you will be detested by all on account of my name. But the one remaining unto completion, this one shall be delivered.

10:23  But whenever they should persecute you in this city, flee unto the other! For amen I say to you, In no way should you finish the cities of Israel, until whenever [4should come 1the 2son 3of man].

10:24  [3not 2is 1A disciple] above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.

10:25  Sufficient to the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the servant as his master. If [3the 4master of the house 2Beelzebub 1they invoked], how much more the ones of his house?

10:26  You should not then fear them; for nothing is being covered, which shall not be uncovered; and hidden, which shall not be known.

10:27  What I say to you in the darkness, you speak in the light! and what in the ear you hear, proclaim upon the roofs!

10:28  And fear not of the ones killing the body, [5the 1but 6soul 2not 3being able 4to kill]! But you fear rather the one being able both the soul and body to destroy in Gehenna!

10:29  Are not two sparrows [2an assarion 1sold for]? and one of them shall not fall upon the earth without your father.

10:30  But you, even the hairs of the head [2all 3counted 1are].

10:31  Do not then fear! [2than many 3sparrows 1you differ].

10:32  Every one then whoever shall acknowledge being mine before men, I shall acknowledge, even myself, him before my father, of the one in heavens.

10:33  And whoever should deny me before the men, I shall deny him, even myself, before my father, the one in the heavens.

10:34  You should not think that I came to cast peace upon the earth; I came not to cast peace, but a sword.

10:35  For I came to cleave a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

10:36  and the enemies of the man are the ones of his own house.

10:37  The one being fond of a father or mother above me, is not worthy of me; and the one being fond of a son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me.

10:38  And the one who does not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.

10:39  The one finding his life, shall lose it; and the one losing his life, because of me, shall find it.

10:40  The one receiving you, receives me; and the one receiving me, receives the one sending me.

10:41  The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, [2a wage 3of a prophet 1shall receive]; and the one receiving a just one in the name of a just one, [2a wage 3of a just one 1shall receive].

10:42  And who ever shall give a drink to one of these small ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, In no way shall he lose his wage.
