Etheridge - Matthew - 10

10:1  And he called his twelve disciples, and gave them power over unclean spirits to cast them out, and to cure every disease and infirmity.

10:2  Now, of the twelve apostles the names are these: the first of them, Shemun who is called Kipha, and Andreas his brother, and Jakubbar-Zabdai, and Juchanon his brother,

10:3  and Philipos, and Bar-Tholmai, and Thoma, and Mathai the tribute-gatherer, and Jakubbar-Chalphai, and Labi who was surnamed Thadai,

10:4  and Shemun the zealous, and Jihuda S'carjuta, he who betrayed him.

10:5  These twelve Jeshu sent, and commanded them and said, In the way of the heathens go not, and into the city of the Shomroyee do not enter;

10:6  but go rather unto the sheep which have perished from the house of Isroel.

10:7  And as you go, proclaim and say that the kingdom of heaven hath drawn near.

10:8  The diseased heal, the lepers cleanse, the dead raise, and the demons cast forth. Freely you have received, freely give.

10:9  Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10:10  nor a wallet for the road; neither two tunics, nor sandals, nor staff: for worthy is the workman of his meat.

10:11  And into whatsoever city or town you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and there be till you depart.

10:12  And when you enter into the house, invoke peace for the house;

10:13  and if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace upon yourselves shall revert.

10:14  But whosoever doth not receive you or hear your words, when you depart from that house, or that town, set free the dust from your feet.

10:15  And, Amen, I say unto you, that for the land of Sadum and of Amura it will be more tolerable, in the day of the judgment, than for that city.

10:16  LO, I send you forth as sheep among wolves: be you, therefore, wise as serpents and guileless as doves.

10:17  But beware of the sons of men; for, delivering you to the house of judgments, in their synagogues they will scourge you,

10:18  and before governors and kings bring you, on my account, for the testimony concerning them and the gentiles.

10:19  But when they deliver you up, be not solicitous how or what you shall speak; for it is given you in that hour what you shall speak.

10:20  For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.

10:21  But the brother shall deliver his brother unto death, and the father his son; and the sons shall rise up against their fathers, and shall slay them.

10:22  And you shall be abhorred by all men on account of my name: but he who shall persevere until the end, he shall be saved.

10:23  When they persecute you in this city, escape to the other; for, Amen I say unto you, that you shall not have completed all the cities of the house of Isroel, till the Son of man shall come.

10:24  The disciple is not greater than his master, nor the servant than his lord.

10:25  It sufficeth the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If the master of the house they have called Beelzebub, how much more his house-sons!

10:26  You shall not fear, therefore, from them; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, nor secret which shall not be known.

10:27  Whatsoever I say to you in darkness, declare you in the light; and whatsoever you have heard in your ears, proclaim upon the roofs.

10:28  And fear not them who kill the body, but the soul cannot kill; but fear rather One who the soul and the body can destroy in gihano.

10:29  Are not two sparrows sold for an asor? yet one of them, without your Father, doth not fall upon the earth.

10:30  But of you, also, the hairs of your head are all numbered.

10:31  Fear not, therefore; than many sparrows more precious are you.

10:32  Every man, therefore, who shall confess me before the sons of men, I myself will confess him also before my Father who is in heaven.

10:33  But whosoever shall deny me before the sons of men, I also will deny him, I, before my Father who is in heaven.

10:34  EXPECT not that I have come to send forth peace on the earth; I have not come to send forth peace, but the sword.

10:35  For I have come to cause a man to separate from his father, and a daughter from her mother, and a daughter-in-law from her mother-in-law;

10:36  and the adversaries of a man (to be) his own house-sons.

10:37  Whosoever loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy (of) me; and whosoever loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy (of) me.

10:38  And every one who taketh not his cross and cometh after me, is not worthy of me.

10:39  Whosoever will find his life shall lose it, and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it.

10:40  Whosoever receiveth you, receiveth me; and whosoever receiveth me, Him who sent me he receiveth.

10:41  Whosoever entertaineth a prophet in the name of a prophet, the reward of a prophet receiveth. Whosoever entertaineth a just man in the name of a just man, the reward of the just man he receiveth.

10:42  And whosoever only giveth one of these little ones a cup of cold (waters) to drink in the name of a disciple, Amen, I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.
