Book 40 : MATTHEW - Chapter 010
010:001
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
010:002
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican;
James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was
Thaddaeus
010:003
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
him
010:004
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
010:005
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel
010:006
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at
hand
010:007
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give
010:008
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses
010:009
Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,
nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat
010:010
And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who
in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence
010:011
And when ye come into an house, salute it
010:012
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but
if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you
010:013
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
010:014
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
010:015
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be
ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves
010:016
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the
councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues
010:017
And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my
sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles
010:018
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
010:019
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father
which speaketh in you
010:020
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
010:021
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he
that endureth to the end shall be saved
010:022
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
010:023
The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above
his lord
010:024
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
010:025
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that
shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known
010:026
What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what
ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops
010:027
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
010:028
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them
shall not fall on the ground without your Father
010:029
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered
010:030
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many
sparrows
010:031
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I
confess also before my Father which is in heaven
010:032
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny
before my Father which is in heaven
010:033
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to
send peace, but a sword
010:034
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
010:035
And a man's foes shall be they of his own household
010:036
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
010:037
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is
not worthy of me
010:038
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his
life for my sake shall find it
010:039
He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me
receiveth him that sent me
010:040
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
010:041
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
