1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. |
2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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; |
3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James 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 with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. |
6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. |
7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7As you go, proclaim this message: 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.' |
8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. |
9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts-- |
10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep. |
11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. |
12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12As you enter the home, give it your greeting. |
13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. |
14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. |
15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town. |
16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. |
17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils and be flogged in the synagogues. |
18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. |
19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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, |
20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. |
21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22You will be hated by everyone because of me, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. |
23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23When 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24"The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master. |
25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. |
28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. |
30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. |
31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. |
32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32"Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. |
33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven. |
34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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-- |
36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.' |
37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. |
39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. |
40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40"Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. |
41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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. |
42[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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." |
