Matthew 9-10 (Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition)

Matthew 9

 ¹And entering into a boat, he passed over the water and came into his own city.

    ²And behold they brought to him one sick of the palsy lying in a bed. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the man sick of the palsy: Be of good heart, son, thy sins are forgiven thee.

    ³And behold some of the scribes said within themselves: He blasphemeth.

    ⁴And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?

    ⁵Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee: or to say, Arise, and walk?

    ⁶But that you may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then said he to the man sick of palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go into thy house.

    ⁷And he arose, and went into his house.

    ⁸And the multitude seeing it, feared, and glorified God that gave such power to men.

    ⁹And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.

    ¹⁰And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.

    ¹¹And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?

    ¹²But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.

    ¹³Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.

    ¹⁴Then came to him the disciples of John, saying: Why do we and the Pharisees fast often, but thy disciples do not fast?

    ¹⁵And Jesus said to them: Can the children of the bridegroom mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then they shall fast.

    ¹⁶And nobody putteth a piece of raw cloth unto an old garment. For it taketh away the fullness thereof from the garment, and there is made a greater rent.

    ¹⁷Neither do they put new wine into old bottles. Otherwise the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish. But new wine they put into new bottles: and both are preserved.

    ¹⁸And he was speaking these things unto them, behold a certain ruler came up, and adored him, saying: Lord, my daughter is even now dead; but come, lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.

    ¹⁹And Jesus rising up followed him, with his disciples.

    ²⁰And behold a woman who was troubled with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment.

    ²¹For she said within herself: If I shall touch only his garment, I shall be healed.

    ²²But Jesus turning and seeing her, said: Be of good heart, daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.

    ²³And when Jesus was come into the house of the ruler, and saw the minstrels and the multitude making a rout,

    ²⁴He said: Give place, for the girl is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.

    ²⁵And when the multitude was put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand. And the maid arose.

    ²⁶And the fame hereof went abroad into all that country.

    ²⁷And as Jesus passed from thence, there followed him two blind men crying out and saying, Have mercy on us, O Son of David.

    ²⁸And when he was come to the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus saith to them, Do you believe, that I can do this unto you? They say to him, Yea, Lord.

    ²⁹Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith, be it done unto you.

    ³⁰And their eyes were opened, and Jesus strictly charged them, saying, See that no man know this.

    ³¹But they going out, spread his fame abroad in all that country.

    ³²And when they were gone out, behold they brought him a dumb man, possessed with a devil.

    ³³And after the devil was cast out, the dumb man spoke, and the multitudes wondered, saying, Never was the like seen in Israel.

    ³⁴But the Pharisees said, By the prince of devils he casteth out devils.

    ³⁵And Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity.

    ³⁶And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd.

    ³⁷Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few.

    ³⁸Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest.

   

Matthew 10

 ¹And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities.

    ²And the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

    ³James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,

    ⁴Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

    ⁵These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.

    ⁶But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

    ⁷And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

    ⁸Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.

    ⁹Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:

    ¹⁰Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.

    ¹¹And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.

    ¹²And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.

    ¹³And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.

    ¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

    ¹⁵Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

    ¹⁶Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.

    ¹⁷But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.

    ¹⁸And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles:

    ¹⁹But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak.

    ²⁰For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.

    ²¹The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death.

    ²²And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.

    ²³And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.

    ²⁴The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord.

    ²⁵It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the goodman of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?

    ²⁶Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.

    ²⁷That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.

    ²⁸And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.

    ²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.

    ³⁰But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

    ³¹Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.

    ³²Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

    ³³But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

    ³⁴Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.

    ³⁵For I came 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.

    ³⁶And as a man's enemies shall be they of his own household.

    ³⁷He 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.

    ³⁸And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

    ³⁹He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.

    ⁴⁰He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

    ⁴¹He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.

    ⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
