[an error occurred while processing this directive]English Standard Version
1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction.
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans,
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts,
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12As you enter the house, greet it.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17Beware of men, for they will deliver you over to courts and flog you in their synagogues,
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19When they deliver you over, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death,
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26“So have no fear of them, for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven,
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35[an error occurred while processing this directive]35For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36[an error occurred while processing this directive]36And a person’s enemies will be those of his own household.
37[an error occurred while processing this directive]37Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38[an error occurred while processing this directive]38And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
39[an error occurred while processing this directive]39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
40[an error occurred while processing this directive]40“Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
41[an error occurred while processing this directive]41The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.
42[an error occurred while processing this directive]42And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
