The Twelve Commissioned and Sent Out
10 And summoning his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could expel them[a] and could heal every[b] disease and every[c] sickness. 2 Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James[d] the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, 3 Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, 4 Simon the Zealot,[e] and Judas Iscariot—the one who also betrayed him.
5 Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them saying, “Do not go on the road to the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans, 6 but go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you[f] are going, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near!’ 8 Heal those who are sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, expel demons. Freely you have received; freely give. 9 Do not procure gold or silver or copper for your belts. 10 Do not take a traveler’s bag for the road, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff, for the worker is deserving of his provisions. 11 And into whatever town or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you depart. 12 And when you[g] enter into the house, greet it. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whoever does not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you[h] are going out of that house or that[i] town. 15 Truly I say to you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
Persecution of Disciples Predicted
16 “Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 But beware of people, because they will hand you over to councils, and they will flog you in their synagogues. 18 And you will be brought before both governors and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But whenever they hand you over, do not be anxious how to speak[j] or what you should say, for what you should say will be given to you at that hour. 20 For you are not the ones who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father who is speaking through you.
21 “And brother will hand over brother to death, and a father his children, and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end—this one will be saved. 23 And whenever they persecute you in this town, flee to another, for truly I say to you, you will never finish going through the towns of Israel until the Son of Man comes.
24 “A disciple is not superior to his teacher, nor a slave superior to his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household?
Fear God Rather Than People
26 “Therefore do not be afraid of them, because nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing secret that will not become known. 27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear in your ear, proclaim on the housetops. 28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul, but instead be afraid of the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?[k] And one of them will not fall to the ground without the knowledge and consent[l] of your Father. 30 And even the hairs of your head are all numbered! 31 Therefore do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32 “Therefore everyone who acknowledges me before people, I also will acknowledge him before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies me before people, I also will deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
Not Peace, But a Sword of Divisiveness
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on the earth! I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And the enemies of a man will be the members of his household.[m] 37 The one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and the one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 The one who finds his life will lose it, and the one who loses his life because of me will find it.
On Rewards
40 “The one who receives you receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41 The one who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will never lose his reward.”

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)(C)(D)(E)
10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits(F) and to heal every disease and sickness.(G)
2 These 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 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.(H)
5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.(I) 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.(J) 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven(K) has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] 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(L)— 10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.(M) 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.(N) 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.(O) 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah(P) on the day of judgment(Q) than for that town.(R)
16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.(S) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.(T) 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils(U) and be flogged in the synagogues.(V) 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings(W) 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.(X) At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father(Y) speaking through you.
21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(Z) and have them put to death.(AA) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(AB) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(AC) 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.(AD)
24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(AE) 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,(AF) 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.(AG) 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(AH) 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.[b] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(AI) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(AJ)
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(AK) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(AL)
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 For I have come to turn
“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law(AM)—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[c](AN)
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.(AO) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(AP) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(AQ)
40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(AR) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(AS) 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.”(AT)

Ang Labindalawang Apostol(A)
10 Pagkatapos ay tinawag ni Jesus[a] ang kanyang labindalawang alagad, at kanyang binigyan sila ng kapangyarihan sa masasamang espiritu, upang kanilang mapalayas sila at pagalingin nila ang bawat sakit at karamdaman.
2 Ang mga pangalan ng labindalawang apostol ay ito: ang una ay si Simon na tinatawag na Pedro, si Andres na kanyang kapatid; si Santiago na anak ni Zebedeo, at si Juan na kanyang kapatid;
3 si Felipe at si Bartolome; si Tomas at si Mateo na maniningil ng buwis; si Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, at si Tadeo;
4 si Simon na Cananeo, at si Judas Iscariote, na nagkanulo sa kanya.
Isinugo ni Jesus ang Labindalawa(B)
5 Ang labindalawang ito ay isinugo ni Jesus, at inutusan na sinasabi, “Huwag kayong pupunta sa pook ng mga Hentil, at huwag kayong papasok sa alinmang bayan ng mga Samaritano;
6 kundi puntahan ninyo ang mga nawawalang tupa sa bahay ni Israel.
7 At(C) habang kayo ay humahayo, ipangaral ninyo at sabihing, ‘Malapit na ang kaharian ng langit.’
8 Pagalingin ninyo ang mga maysakit, buhayin ninyo ang mga patay, linisin ninyo ang mga ketongin, palayasin ninyo ang mga demonyo. Tinanggap ninyong walang bayad, ibigay ninyong walang bayad.
9 Huwag kayong magdala ng ginto, o pilak, o tanso sa inyong mga lalagyan ng pera;
10 o(D) supot sa inyong paglalakbay, o dalawang baro o mga sandalyas, o tungkod, sapagkat ang manggagawa ay karapat-dapat sa kanyang pagkain.
11 Sa alinmang bayan o nayon kayo makapasok, hanapin ninyo kung sino roon ang karapat-dapat; at makitira kayo sa kanya hanggang sa inyong pag-alis.
12 Pagpasok ninyo sa bahay, batiin ninyo ito.
13 At kung karapat-dapat ang sambahayan, hayaang mapunta roon ang inyong kapayapaan, ngunit kung hindi karapat-dapat, hayaang mabalik sa inyo ang inyong kapayapaan.
14 Sinumang(E) hindi tumanggap sa inyo, o duminig sa inyong mga salita, pag-alis ninyo sa bahay o bayang iyon, ay ipagpag ninyo ang alabok ng inyong mga paa.[b]
15 Katotohanang(F) sinasabi ko sa inyo, higit pang mapapagtiisan sa araw ng paghuhukom ang mga lupain ng Sodoma at Gomorra, kaysa bayang iyon.
Mga Pag-uusig na Darating(G)
16 “Ngayon,(H) sinusugo ko kayong tulad ng mga tupa sa gitna ng mga asong-gubat, kaya't maging matalino kayong gaya ng mga ahas at maamong gaya ng mga kalapati.
17 Mag-ingat(I) kayo sa mga tao, sapagkat ibibigay nila kayo sa mga hukuman at hahagupitin nila kayo sa kanilang mga sinagoga,
18 at kakaladkarin nila kayo sa harap ng mga gobernador at mga hari dahil sa akin, upang magpatotoo sa kanila at sa mga Hentil.
19 Ngunit kapag kayo ay naibigay na nila, huwag kayong mangamba kung paano kayo magsasalita o kung ano ang inyong sasabihin, sapagkat ipagkakaloob sa inyo sa oras na iyon ang inyong sasabihin;
20 sapagkat hindi kayo ang magsasalita, kundi ang Espiritu ng inyong Ama ang magsasalita sa pamamagitan ninyo.
21 Ipagkakanulo(J) ng kapatid ang kanyang kapatid tungo sa kamatayan, at ng ama ang kanyang anak at maghihimagsik ang mga anak laban sa kanilang mga magulang, at ipapapatay nila ang mga ito.
22 At(K) kapopootan kayo ng lahat dahil sa aking pangalan. Ngunit ang magtiis hanggang sa wakas ay maliligtas.
23 Kapag inuusig nila kayo sa isang bayan, tumakas kayo tungo sa kasunod, sapagkat katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, ‘Hindi ninyo mapupuntahan lahat ang mga bayan ng Israel, bago dumating ang Anak ng Tao.’
24 “Hindi(L) nakahihigit ang alagad sa kanyang guro, o ang alipin sa kanyang panginoon.
25 Sapat(M) na sa alagad ang maging tulad ng kanyang guro at sa alipin ang maging tulad ng kanyang panginoon. Kung tinawag nilang Beelzebul ang panginoon ng sambahayan, gaano pa kaya nila lalaitin ang mga kasambahay niya!
Ang Dapat Katakutan(N)
26 “Kaya,(O) huwag ninyo silang katakutan sapagkat walang bagay na natatakpan na hindi mahahayag; at walang natatago na hindi malalaman.
27 Anumang sinasabi ko sa inyo sa dilim, sabihin ninyo sa liwanag; at ang narinig ninyo sa bulong ay ipagsigawan ninyo sa ibabaw ng mga bubungan.
28 At huwag ninyong katakutan ang mga pumapatay ng katawan, ngunit hindi nakakapatay ng kaluluwa, kundi katakutan ninyo siyang makakapuksa ng kaluluwa at ng katawan sa impiyerno.
29 Hindi ba ipinagbibili ng isang kusing ang dalawang maya? Ngunit isa man sa kanila ay hindi nahuhulog sa lupa na hindi batid ng inyong Ama.
30 At maging ang mga buhok sa inyong ulo ay bilang na lahat.
31 Huwag nga kayong matakot; kayo ay higit na mahalaga kaysa maraming maya.
Pagkilala kay Cristo(P)
32 “Kaya't ang bawat kumikilala sa akin sa harapan ng mga tao ay kikilalanin ko rin sa harapan ng aking Ama na nasa langit.
33 Ngunit(Q) sinumang magkaila sa akin sa harapan ng mga tao, ay ipagkakaila ko rin naman sa harapan ng aking Ama na nasa langit.
Hindi Kapayapaan kundi Tabak(R)
34 “Huwag ninyong isiping pumarito ako upang magdala ng kapayapaan sa lupa; hindi ako pumarito upang magdala ng kapayapaan, kundi ng tabak.
35 Sapagkat(S) pumarito ako upang paglabanin ang lalaki at ang kanyang ama, ang anak na babae at ang kanyang ina, at ang manugang na babae at ang kanyang biyenang babae.
36 At ang magiging kaaway ng tao ay ang sarili niyang mga kasambahay.
37 Ang umiibig sa ama o sa ina nang higit kaysa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin; at ang umiibig sa anak na lalaki o anak na babae nang higit kaysa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin;
38 at(T) ang hindi nagpapasan ng kanyang krus at sumusunod sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin.
39 Ang(U) nagsisikap magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito; at ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay dahil sa akin ay makakatagpo nito.
Mga Gantimpala sa Tumatanggap(V)
40 “Ang(W) tumatanggap sa inyo ay tumatanggap sa akin at ang tumatanggap sa akin ay tumatanggap sa nagsugo sa akin.
41 Ang tumatanggap sa isang propeta alang-alang sa pangalan ng propeta ay tatanggap ng gantimpala ng isang propeta; at ang tumatanggap sa isang taong matuwid alang-alang sa pangalan ng isang taong matuwid ay tatanggap ng gantimpala ng isang taong matuwid.
42 At sinumang magbigay ng kahit isang basong tubig na malamig sa isa sa maliliit na ito sa pangalan ng isang alagad, katotohanang sinasabi ko sa inyo, tiyak na hindi siya mawawalan ng kanyang gantimpala.”
