(Mat 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.
(Mat 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;
(Mat 10:3) Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James {the son} of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
(Mat 10:4) Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
(Mat 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:
(Mat 10:6) But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
(Mat 10:7) And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
(Mat 10:8) Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
(Mat 10:9) Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
(Mat 10:10) Nor scrip for {your} journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
(Mat 10:11) And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
(Mat 10:12) And when ye come into an house, salute it.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
(Mat 10:17) But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
(Mat 10:18) And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 10:20) For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 10:24) The disciple is not above {his} master, nor the servant above his lord.
(Mat 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?
(Mat 10:26) Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 10:29) Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
(Mat 10:30) But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
(Mat 10:31) Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
(Mat 10:32) Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
(Mat 10:33) But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
(Mat 10:34) Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 10:36) And a man's foes {shall be} they of his own household.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 10:38) And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
(Mat 10:39) He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
(Mat 10:40) He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
(Mat 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.
(Mat 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.
