The Way of the Righteous and the End of the Ungodly
1 Blessed (A)is the man
Who walks not in the counsel of the [a]ungodly,
Nor stands in the path of sinners,
(B)Nor sits in the seat of the scornful;
2 But (C)his delight is in the law of the Lord,
(D)And in His law he [b]meditates day and night.
3 He shall be like a tree
(E)Planted by the [c]rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall (F)prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so,
But are (G)like the chaff which the wind drives away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment,
Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
6 For (H)the Lord knows the way of the righteous,
But the way of the ungodly shall perish.

or sit(F) in the company of mockers,(G)
2 but whose delight(H) is in the law of the Lord,(I)
and who meditates(J) on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree(K) planted by streams(L) of water,(M)
which yields its fruit(N) in season
and whose leaf(O) does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.(P)

Jesus Heals a Great Multitude(A)
17 And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples (B)and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, 18 as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. 19 And the whole multitude (C)sought to (D)touch Him, for (E)power went out from Him and healed them all.
The Beatitudes(F)
20 Then He lifted up His eyes toward His disciples, and said:
(G)“Blessed are you poor,
For yours is the kingdom of God.
21 (H)Blessed are you who hunger now,
For you shall be (I)filled.[a]
(J)Blessed are you who weep now,
For you shall (K)laugh.
22 (L)Blessed are you when men hate you,
And when they (M)exclude you,
And revile you, and cast out your name as evil,
For the Son of Man’s sake.
23 (N)Rejoice in that day and leap for joy!
For indeed your reward is great in heaven,
For (O)in like manner their fathers did to the prophets.

Blessings and Woes(A)
17 He went down with them and stood on a level place. A large crowd of his disciples was there and a great number of people from all over Judea, from Jerusalem, and from the coastal region around Tyre and Sidon,(B) 18 who had come to hear him and to be healed of their diseases. Those troubled by impure spirits were cured, 19 and the people all tried to touch him,(C) because power was coming from him and healing them all.(D)
20 Looking at his disciples, he said:
“Blessed are you who are poor,
for yours is the kingdom of God.(E)
21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.(F)
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.(G)
22 Blessed are you when people hate you,
when they exclude you(H) and insult you(I)
and reject your name as evil,
because of the Son of Man.(J)

The World’s Hatred
18 (A)“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 (B)If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet (C)because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, (D)‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. (E)If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. 21 But (F)all these things they will do to you for My name’s sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. 22 (G)If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, (H)but now they have no excuse for their sin. 23 (I)He who hates Me hates My Father also. 24 If I had not done among them (J)the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have (K)seen and also hated both Me and My Father. 25 But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, (L)‘They hated Me without a cause.’
The Coming Rejection
26 (M)“But when the [a]Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, (N)He will testify of Me. 27 And (O)you also will bear witness, because (P)you have been with Me from the beginning.

The World Hates the Disciples
18 “If the world hates you,(A) keep in mind that it hated me first. 19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you(B) out of the world. That is why the world hates you.(C) 20 Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’[a](D) If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also.(E) If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. 21 They will treat you this way because of my name,(F) for they do not know the one who sent me.(G) 22 If I had not come and spoken to them,(H) they would not be guilty of sin; but now they have no excuse for their sin.(I) 23 Whoever hates me hates my Father as well. 24 If I had not done among them the works no one else did,(J) they would not be guilty of sin.(K) As it is, they have seen, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. 25 But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law:(L) ‘They hated me without reason.’[b](M)
The Work of the Holy Spirit
26 “When the Advocate(N) comes, whom I will send to you from the Father(O)—the Spirit of truth(P) who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me.(Q) 27 And you also must testify,(R) for you have been with me from the beginning.(S)

Matthew 10:11-42
New King James Version
11 (A)“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. 12 And when you go into a household, greet it. 13 (B)If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. (C)But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 (D)And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, (E)shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, (F)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!
Persecutions Are Coming(G)
16 (H)“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. (I)Therefore be wise as serpents and (J)harmless[a] as doves. 17 But beware of men, for (K)they will deliver you up to councils and (L)scourge you in their synagogues. 18 (M)You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 (N)But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For (O)it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 (P)for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 (Q)“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And (R)you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. (S)But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 (T)When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have (U)gone through the cities of Israel (V)before the Son of Man comes.
24 (W)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If (X)they have called the master of the house [b]Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. (Y)For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
Jesus Teaches the Fear of God(Z)
27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, (AA)speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 (AB)And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather (AC)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [c]hell. 29 Are not two (AD)sparrows sold for a [d]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 (AE)But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.
Confess Christ Before Men(AF)
32 (AG)“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, (AH)him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 (AI)But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.
Christ Brings Division(AJ)
34 (AK)“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to (AL)‘set[e] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and (AM)‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 (AN)He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 (AO)And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 (AP)He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.
A Cup of Cold Water(AQ)
40 (AR)“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 (AS)He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward. And he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 (AT)And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

11 Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. 12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting.(A) 13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.(B) 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah(C) on the day of judgment(D) than for that town.(E)
16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.(F) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.(G) 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils(H) and be flogged in the synagogues.(I) 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings(J) as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it.(K) At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father(L) speaking through you.
21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(M) and have them put to death.(N) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(O) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(P) 23 When 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.(Q)
24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(R) 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul,(S) 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.(T) 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One(U) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[a] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(V) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(W)

a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law(Z)—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[b](AA)
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.(AB) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(AC) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(AD)
40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(AE) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(AF) 41 Whoever 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 And 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.”(AG)
