 aNowg1161 the namesg3686 of the twelveg1427 apostlesg652 are theseg3778: The firstg4413,  bSimong4613, who is calledg3004 Peterg4074, and  bAndrewg406 his brotherg80; and  1 cJamesg2385 the son of Zebedeeg2199, and  2Johng2491 his brotherg80;

6

but ratherg3123 gog4198 to  athe lostg622 sheepg4263b of the houseg3624 of Israelg2474.

7

"And as you gog4198,  1preachg2784, sayingg3004, ` aThe kingdomg932 of heaveng3772  2is at handg1448.'

8

"Healg2323 the sickg770, raiseg1453 the deadg3498, cleanseg2511 the lepersg3015, castg1544b out demonsg1140. Freelyg1432 you receivedg2983, freelyg1431 giveg1325.

9

aDo not acquireg2932 goldg5557, org3366 silverg696, org3366 copperg5475 for your moneyg5475 beltsg2223,

10

org3361 a  1bagg4082 for your journeyg3598, org3366 eveng3366 twog1417  2coatsg5509, org3366 sandalsg5266, org3366 a staffg4464; for  athe workerg2040 is worthyg514 of his  3supportg5160.

11

"And whateverg3739g302 cityg4172 org2228 villageg2968 you enterg1525, inquireg1833 whog5101 is worthyg514 in it, and stayg3306  1at his houseg2546 untilg2193 you leaveg1831 that city.

12

"As you enterg1525 the  1houseg3614,  agiveg782 it your  2greetingg782.

13

"Ifg1437 the houseg3614 is worthyg514,  1giveg2064 it your blessing of peaceg1515. But ifg1437 it is not worthyg514,  2takeg1994 backg1994 your blessing of peaceg1515.

14

"Whoeverg3739 does not receiveg1209 you, norg3366 heedg191 your wordsg3056, as you gog1831 out of that houseg3614 org2228 that cityg4172,  ashakeg1621 the dustg2868 offg1621 your feetg4228.

15

"Trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you,  ait will be moreg414 tolerableg414 for the landg1093 of  bSodomg4670 and Gomorrahg1116 in  cthe dayg2250 of judgmentg2920 thang2228 for that cityg4172.

A Hard Road before Them

16

aBeholdg2400, I sendg649 you out as sheepg4263b in the midstg3319 of wolvesg3074; sog3767  1be  bshrewdg5429 as serpentsg3789 and  cinnocentg185 as dovesg4058.

17

"But bewareg4337 of meng444, for they will handg3860 you over to the  acourtsg4892 and scourgeg3146 you  bin their synagoguesg4864;

18

and you will eveng2532 be broughtg71 beforeg1909 governorsg2232 and kingsg935 for My sakeg1752a, as a testimonyg3142 to them and to the Gentilesg1484.

19

aBut wheng3752 they handg3860 you over,  bdo not worryg3309 about howg4459 org2228 whatg5101 you are to sayg2980; for it will be giveng1325 you in that hourg5610 whatg5101 you are to sayg2980.

20

"For  ait is not you who speakg2980, but it is the Spiritg4151 of your Fatherg3962 who speaksg2980 in you.

21

aBrotherg80 will betrayg3860 brotherg80 to deathg2288, and a fatherg3962 his childg5043; and  bchildreng5043 will riseg1881 up againstg1909 parentsg1118 and  1causeg2289 them to be putg2289 to deathg2289.

22

aYou will be hatedg3404 by allg3956 becauseg1223 of My nameg3686, but  bit is the one who has enduredg5278 to the endg5056 who will be savedg4982.

23

"But wheneverg3752 they  apersecuteg1377 you in  1oneg3778 cityg4172, fleeg5343 to  2the nextg2087; for trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you, you will not finishg5055 going through the citiesg4172 of Israelg2474  buntilg2193 the Song5207 of Mang444 comesg2064.

The Meaning of Discipleship

24

aA  1discipleg3101 is not aboveg5228 his teacherg1320, norg3761 a slaveg1401 aboveg5228 his masterg2962.

25

"It is enoughg713 for the discipleg3101 that he becomeg1096 likeg5613 his teacherg1320, and the slaveg1401 likeg5613 his masterg2962.  aIfg1487 they have calledg1941 the headg3617 of the houseg3617  1 bBeelzebulg954, howg4214 muchg4214 moreg3123 will they malign the members of his householdg3615!

26

"Thereforeg3767 do not  afearg5399 them,  bfor there is nothingg3762 concealedg2572 that will not be revealedg601, org2532 hiddeng2927 that will not be knowng1097.

27

aWhatg3739 I tellg3004 you in the darknessg4653, speakg3004 in the lightg5457; and whatg3739 you hearg191 whispered in your earg3775, proclaimg2784  bupon the housetopsg1430.

28

"Do not fearg5399 thoseg3588 who killg615 the bodyg4983 but are unableg3361g1410 to killg615 the soulg5590; but ratherg3123  afearg5399 Him who is ableg1410 to destroyg622 bothg2532 soulg5590 and bodyg4983 in  1 bhellg1067.

29

aAre not twog1417 sparrowsg4765 soldg4453 for a  1centg787? And yet not oneg1520 of them will fallg4098 to the groundg1093 apartg427 from your Fatherg3962.

30

"But  athe veryg2532 hairsg2359 of your headg2776 are allg3956 numberedg705.

31

"Sog3767 do not fearg5399;  ayou are moreg1308 valuableg1308 than manyg4183 sparrowsg4765.

32

"Thereforeg3767  aeveryoneg3956 whog3748  1confessesg3670 Me beforeg1715 meng444, I will alsog2532 confessg3670  2him beforeg1715 My Fatherg3962 who is in heaveng3772.

33

"But  awhoeverg3748g302  1deniesg720 Me beforeg1715 meng444, I will alsog2532 denyg720 him beforeg1715 My Fatherg3962 who is in heaveng3772.

34

aDo not thinkg3543 that I cameg2064 to  1bringg906 peaceg1515 on the earthg1093; I did not comeg2064 to bringg906 peaceg1515, but a swordg3162.

35

"For I cameg2064 to  aSETg1369 A MANg444 AGAINSTg2596 HIS FATHERg3962, AND A DAUGHTERg2364 AGAINSTg2596 HER MOTHERg3384, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAWg3565 AGAINSTg2596 HER MOTHER-IN-LAWg3994;

36

and  aA MAN'Sg444 ENEMIESg2190 WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLDg3615.

37

aHe who lovesg5368 fatherg3962 org2228 motherg3384 moreg5228 thang5228 Me is not worthyg514 of Me; and he who lovesg5368 song5207 org2228 daughterg2364 moreg5228 thang5228 Me is not worthyg514 of Me.

38

"And  ahe whog3739 does not takeg2983 his crossg4716 and followg190 afterg3694 Me is not worthyg514 of Me.

39

aHe who has foundg2147 his  1lifeg5590 will loseg622 it, and he who has lostg622 his  1lifeg5590 for My sakeg1752a will findg2147 it.

The Reward of Service

40

aHe who receivesg1209 you receivesg1209 Me, and  bhe who receivesg1209 Me receivesg1209 Him who sentg649 Me.

41

aHe who receivesg1209 a prophetg4396 in the nameg3686 of a prophetg4396 shall receiveg2983 a prophet'sg4396 rewardg3408; and he who receivesg1209 a righteousg1342 mang1342 in the nameg3686 of a righteousg1342 mang1342 shall receiveg2983 a righteousg1342 man'sg1342 rewardg3408.

42

"And  awhoeverg3739g1437 in the nameg3686 of a discipleg3101 givesg4222 to oneg1520 of theseg3778  1littleg3398 onesg3398 eveng3441 a cupg4221 of coldg5593 water to drinkg4222, trulyg281 I sayg3004 to you, he shall not loseg622 his rewardg3408."
