Matthew 10

Weymouth New Testament WNT

1 Then He called to Him His twelve disciples and gave them authority over foul spirits, to drive them out; and to cure every kind of disease and infirmity.

2 Now the names of the twelve Apostles were these: first, Simon called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zabdi, and his brother John;

3 Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax-gatherer, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

5 These twelve Jesus sent on a mission, after giving them their instructions: "Go not," He said, "among the Gentiles, and enter no Samaritan town;

6 but, instead of that, go to the lost sheep of Israel's race.

7 And as you go, preach and say, `The Kingdom of the Heavens is close at hand.'

8 Cure the sick, raise the dead to life, cleanse lepers, drive out demons: you have received without payment, give without payment.

9 "Provide no gold, nor even silver nor copper to carry in your pockets;

10 no bag for your journey, nor change of linen, nor shoes, nor stick; for the labourer deserves his food.

11 "Whatever town or village you enter, inquire for some good man; and make his house your home till you leave the place.

12 When you enter the house, salute it;

13 and if the house deserves it, the peace you invoke shall come upon it. If not, your peace shall return to you.

14 And whoever refuses to receive you or even to listen to your Message, as you leave that house or town, shake off the very dust from your feet.

15 I solemnly tell you that it will be more endurable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of Judgement than for that town.

16 "Remember it is I who am sending you out, as sheep into the midst of wolves; prove yourselves as sagacious as serpents, and as innocent as doves.

17 But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to appear before Sanhedrins, and will flog you in their synagogues;

18 and you will even be put on trial before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness to them and to the Gentiles.

19 But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time it shall be given you what to say;

20 for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21 Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child; and children will rise against their own parents and will put them to death.

22 And you will be objects of universal hatred because you are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End--he will be saved.

23 Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next; for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 "The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant is never superior to his master.

25 Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher, and for the servant to be on a level with his master. If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul, how much more will they slander his servants?

26 Fear them not, however; there is nothing veiled which will not be uncovered, nor secret which will not become known.

27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.

28 "And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

29 Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.

30 But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.

31 Away then with fear; you are more precious than a multitude of sparrows.

32 "Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in Heaven.

33 But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before my Father who is in Heaven.

34 "Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth: I did not come to bring peace but a sword.

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

36 and a man's own family will be his foes.

37 Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

38 and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I lead is not worthy of me.

39 To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my sake is to save it.

40 "Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives Him who sent me.

41 Every one who receives a prophet, because he is a prophet, will receive a prophet's reward, and every one who receives a righteous man, because he is a righteous man, will receive a righteous man's reward.

42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water to drink because he is a disciple, I solemnly tell you that he will not lose his reward."

New International Version NIV

1 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness.

2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9 “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—

10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.

11 Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave.

12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting.

13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.

15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.

17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues.

18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.

19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say,

20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death.

22 You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.

23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.

25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.

27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs.

28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.

30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.

35 For I have come to turn “ ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—

36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.

40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.

41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.

42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”
