Jesus Appoints the Twelve

10 (A)And summoning His twelve disciples, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to (B)heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

2 (C)Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, (D)Simon, who is called Peter, and (E)Andrew his brother; and (F)James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 (G)Philip and [a]Bartholomew; (H)Thomas and (I)Matthew the tax collector; (J)James the son of Alphaeus, and (K)Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the [b]Zealot, and (L)Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

The Twelve Disciples Sent Out

5 (M)These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, “Do not [c]go [d]in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the (N)Samaritans; 6 but rather go to (O)the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, [e]preach, saying, ‘(P)The kingdom of heaven [f]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9 (Q)Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, 10 or a [g]bag for your journey, or even two [h]tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for (R)the worker is worthy of his [i]support. 11 And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave. 12 Now as you enter the [j]house, (S)give it your [k]greeting. 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 receive you, nor heed your words, as you leave that house or that city, (T)shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly I say to you, (U)it will be more tolerable for the land of (V)Sodom and Gomorrah in (W)the day of judgment than for that city.

The Promise of Persecution

16 “(X)Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so [l]be (Y)shrewd as serpents and (Z)innocent as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you over to the (AA)courts and flog you (AB)in their synagogues; 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 (AC)But when they deliver you over, (AD)do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given to you in that hour what you are to say. 20 For (AE)it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21 “(AF)And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and (AG)children will rise up against parents and [m]cause them to be put to death. 22 (AH)And you will be hated by all because of My name, but (AI)it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.

23 “But whenever they (AJ)persecute you in this city, flee to [n]the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel (AK)until the Son of Man comes.

The Meaning of Discipleship

24 “(AL)A [o]disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. (AM)If they have called the head of the house [p](AN)Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!

26 “Therefore do not (AO)fear them, (AP)for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 27 (AQ)What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim (AR)upon the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather (AS)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [q](AT)hell. 29 (AU)Are not two sparrows sold for an [r]assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (AV)the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So do not fear; (AW)you are more valuable than many sparrows.

32 “Therefore (AX)everyone who [s]confesses Me before men, I will also confess [t]him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But (AY)whoever [u]denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

34 “(AZ)Do not think that I came to [v]bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to (BA)set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and (BB)a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.

37 “(BC)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 And (BD)he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 (BE)He who has found his [w]life will lose it, and he who has lost his [x]life for My sake will find it.

The Reward of Service

40 “(BF)He who receives you receives Me, and (BG)he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 (BH)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 And (BI)whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these [y]little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”

馬 太 福 音 10
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version

耶稣派遣使徒传道

10 耶稣召集起他的十二名门徒，赐给他们制服驱赶邪灵和医治各种疾病的力量。 2 十二使徒的名字是：西门（也叫彼得）和他的兄弟安得烈，西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰， 3 腓力和巴多罗买，多马和税吏马太，亚勒腓的儿子雅各和达太， 4 激进派 [a]的西门，还有后来出卖耶稣的加略人犹大。

5 耶稣派遣十二使徒出去传道，吩咐他们说∶“不要去非犹太民族的地区，也不要到撒玛利亚人 [b]的城里去。 6 要到以色列人那里去，他们就像是迷途的羔羊。 7 去传道吧，告诉他们∶‘天国即将来临。’ 8 你们要让死人复活，为人治疗麻风病，为人们驱鬼。你们无偿地获得的，也要无偿地给予。 9 你们不要随身携带金银铜钱， 10 不要带背包，不要带多余的衣服、鞋，也不要带手杖，因为工作的人应该得到他所需要的东西。

11 “无论你们到哪个村镇，找到你们可以信赖的人，住在他家，直到你们离开那地方。 12 你们走进那户人家时，要说‘平安与你们同在。’ 13 如果那家人欢迎你们，他们就配得上你们的祝福，愿他们享有你们为他们祝福的平安。但是，如果他们不欢迎你们，他们就配不上你们的祝福，你们就收回你们的祝福。 14 如果有人或城镇不欢迎你们，或者不听你们所说的，就离开那个房子或城镇，并抖掉脚上的尘土 [c]。 15 我实话告诉你们，在审判日，那个城镇受的惩罚要比所多玛和蛾摩拉人遭受到的还要惨。

耶稣预见困难

16 “听着，我派你们出去，就像把羊放到狼群中。你们要像蛇一样精明，像鸽子一样纯洁。 17 要做好遇难的准备，有人会逮捕你们，送你们去受审，他们会在会堂里鞭打你们。 18 因为你们跟随我，所以他们将会使你们在统治者和国王面前为自己辩护。此事会发生，以便你们能向那些国王、统治者以及非犹太人讲述有关我的事情。 19 当你们被捕时，不必担心该说什么或该怎么说，到那时，该说的话会赐给你们的。 20 因为那时不是你们在说话，而是你们父亲的圣灵通过你们在说话。

21 兄弟会彼此出卖，置对方于死地；父亲会出卖儿女，置他们于死地；儿女也会与父母做对，置他们于死地。。 22 你们会因为跟随我而遭到每个人的憎恨，但是，坚持信仰到底的人必会得救。 23 如果你们在一个城市里受迫害，就到另一个城市去。我实话告诉你们，你们还没有走遍以色列的城镇之前，人子将重返。

24 “学生不会高于老师，仆人不会高于主人。 25 学生若能像他的老师一样，仆人若能像他的主人一样，就可以满足了。如果那些人叫我‘魔王别西卜，’即然我是一家之主，那么更加肯定，我的家人—你们会受到侮辱。

敬畏上帝

26 “你们不要害怕他们。所有隐藏的事情都会暴露，所有的秘密都会被人知道。 27 我私下告诉你们的话，你们要公开地告诉人们，我在你们耳边悄悄说的话，你们要在房顶上公之于众。

28 不要害怕那些能杀害你们的肉体、却不能消灭你们灵魂的人。你们只应该敬畏上帝，只有上帝能够把你们的灵魂和肉体全都毁灭在地狱里。 29 两只麻雀不是只值一分钱 [d]吗？可是如果没有天父的认可，没有一只麻雀会从天上掉下来。 30 上帝甚至知道你们的头发有多少根。 31 所以不要害怕，你们要比许多麻雀贵重的多。

不要为你们的信仰感到耻辱

32 “谁在众人面前承认我，我也会在我天堂里的父亲面前承认他； 33 谁在众人面前否认我，我也会在我天堂里的父亲面前否认他。

跟随耶稣会遭麻烦

34 “不要以为我来是要把和平带到人间的，我带来的不是和平，而是利剑。 35 我来是为了：

‘让儿子和父亲做对，
让女儿和母亲做对，
让媳妇与婆婆不和。
36 甚至你的家人都是你的仇敌。’ (A)

37 “爱父母胜过爱我的人不配做我的门徒；爱子女胜过爱我的人也不配做我的门徒； 38 不肯背起自己苦难的十字架跟随我的人也不配跟随我。 39 那些想保住自己生命的人都将会失去生命；而为我牺牲生命的人却将获得真正的生命。

上帝保佑欢迎你们的人

40 “接受你们的人，就是在接受我；接受我的人，也就是在接受派遣我来的人。 41 任何遇到先知并接受他的人，也会得到先知所得到的报偿；因为某人是正直的人而接受他的人，也会得到正直人所得到的报偿。 42 因为他们是我的门徒而帮助他们的人，甚至是给他们中间最微小的人一杯水解渴，此人也绝对会得到报偿。”

Matthew 10
New International Version

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)
