Calling together his twelve disciples he gave them authority over unclean spirits so as to be able to expel them and to heal every disease and every illness. Now of the twelve apostles their names are as follows. First there was Simon, the one called Peter and then Andrew his brother.
and James the son of Zebedee and John his brother. There were Phillip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-collector. There was James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus, Simon the Cannanaean and
Judas Iscariot the one who also betrayed him. Jesus sent these twelve forth given authority to them and saying “Do not go the places of Gentiles nor enter a city of Samaritans. Rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going proclaim saying “The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near. Heal those who are sick. Raise the dead. Cleanse the lepers. Expel demons. Freely you have received. Give freely. Do not carry gold nor silver nor grass in your girdles nor a wallet for the way nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff. The workman is worthy of his food. Into whatever city or village you may enter, inquire who in it is worthy. Then remain until you are ready to go out. Entering into the house greet those there. If indeed the house is worthy let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy your peace will return to you. Whoever does not receive you nor hear your words, going outside the house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet. Truly I tell you it will be more tolerable
for the land of Sodom and Gomorra in the day of judgment than for that city. Behold I send you forth like sheep in the midst of wolves. Be therefore prudent as serpents and as harmless as doves. And beware of men for they will deliver you up to councils and in their synagogues they will scourge you. And you will be led before leaders and kings for my sake and as a testimony to them and to the nations (Gentiles). But when they deliver you up do not be anxious as to how or what you may say for it will be given to you in that hour what you may say. For it is not you who are speaking but the Spirit of your Father who is speaking in you. And brother will deliver up brother to death and a father their child. And children will stand up against their parents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all people on account of my name. But the one enduring to the end.
| This one will be saved. But when they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For truly I tell you you will by no means have completed the cities of Israel before the Son of man comes. Nor is a disciple above his teacher nor a slave above his lord. Enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher and the slave as his lord. If they called the housemaster Beelzebub how much more (will they give names to) the members of his household. Therefore do not fear them for nothing has been veiled which will not be unveiled and hidden which will not be made known. What I say to you in the darkness you are to say in the light. And what you hear in your ear proclaim on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body, but who cannot kill the soul. Rather fear whoever is able to destroy both the body and soul in Gehenna. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing. Yet one of them will not fall on the earth without your Father allowing it. But for you, even the hairs of your head have all been numbered. Therefore do not fear. It would take many sparrows to out-value you. Everyone therefore who shall confess me (Jesus) before people, I will also confess to knowing him before my father in the heavens. And whoever denies me before men, I also will deny him before my Father in the heavens. Do not suppose I came to bring peace on the earth. I came, not to bring peace but sword. For I came to make a man hostile against his father and a daughter against her mother and a bride against her mother-in-law. (I have come to make) the members of a man’s household his enemies. The one who loves is father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And the lone loving son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. The one who does not take his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. The one finding his life will lose it and the one who loses his life for my sake will find it. The one receiving you also receives me and the one who receives me also receives the one who has sent me. The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive the reward of a prophet. And the one receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive the reward of a righteous man. And whoever gives one of these little ones a cup of cold water, if only in the name of a disciple, will I tell you on no account lose his reward. 10:1-42 |
