 10:1  And when he had called unto [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.
 10:2  Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The
first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother;
James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;
 10:3  Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the
publican; James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose
surname was Thaddaeus;
 10:4  Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also
betrayed him.
 10:5  These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them,
saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any]
city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
 10:6  But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
 10:7  And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
at hand.
 10:8  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
 10:9  Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your
purses,
 10:10  Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats,
neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his
meat.
 10:11  And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter,
inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
 10:12  And when ye come into an house, salute it.
 10:13  And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon
it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
 10:14  And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your
words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the
dust of your feet.
 10:15  Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for
the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for
that city.
 10:16  Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of
wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as
doves.
 10:17  But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
 10:18  And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for
my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
 10:19  But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or
what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same
hour what ye shall speak.
 10:20  For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your
Father which speaketh in you.
 10:21  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.
 10:22  And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake:
but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
 10:23  But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into
another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over
the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
 10:24  The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant
above his lord.
 10:25  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?
 10:26  Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered,
that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
 10:27  What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light:
and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the
housetops.
 10:28  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.
 10:29  Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of
them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
 10:30  But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
 10:31  Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows.
 10:32  Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him
will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
 10:33  But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also
deny before my Father which is in heaven.
 10:34  Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came
not to send peace, but a sword.
 10:35  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.
 10:36  And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
 10:37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not
worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me
is not worthy of me.
 10:38  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after
me, is not worthy of me.
 10:39  He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that
loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
 10:40  He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that
receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
 10:41  He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet
shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a
righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a
righteous man's reward.
 10:42  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, he shall in no wise lose his
reward.
