Matthew 10:1-42
========================
9:35Jesus went through all
the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news
of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.
9:36When he saw the crowds,
he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep
without a shepherd.
9:37Then he said to his
disciples, “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
9:38Ask the
Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”

----------------------------------------
1Jesus called his twelve
disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to
heal every disease and sickness.
2These 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;
3Philip and Bartholomew;
Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus,
and Thaddaeus;
4Simon the
Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
5These twelve Jesus sent out
with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any
town of the Samaritans.
6Go rather
to the lost sheep of
7As you go, proclaim this
message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’
8Heal 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—
10no bag for the journey or
extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.
11Whatever town or village
you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until
you leave.
12As you enter the home, give
it your greeting.
13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let
your peace return to you.
14If anyone will not welcome
you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off
your feet.
15Truly I tell you, it will
be more bearable for
16“I am sending you out like
sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.
17Be on your guard; you will
be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues.
18On my account you will be
brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
19But 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,
20for 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.
22You will be hated by
everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
23When you are persecuted in
one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through
the towns of
24“The student is not above
the teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25It 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.
27What I tell you in the
dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the
roofs.
28Do 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.
29Are not two sparrows sold
for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s
care.
30And even the very hairs of
your head are all numbered.
31So 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.
33But 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.
35For I have come to turn “‘a
man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a
daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36a 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.
38Whoever does not take up
their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
39Whoever 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.
41Whoever 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.
42And 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.”
