马太福音 10
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
差遣使徒
10 耶稣叫了十二位门徒来，将权柄赐给他们，使他们能够赶出污鬼、医治各样的疾病。 2 以下是这十二位使徒的名字：
首先是西门，又名彼得，还有彼得的兄弟安得烈、西庇太的儿子雅各、雅各的兄弟约翰、 3 腓力、巴多罗买、多马、税吏马太、亚勒腓的儿子雅各、达太、 4 激进党人[a]西门和出卖耶稣的加略人犹大。
5 耶稣差遣这十二个人出去，嘱咐他们：“外族人的地方不要去，撒玛利亚人的城镇也不要进， 6 要到以色列人当中寻找迷失的羊。
7 “你们要边走边传，‘天国临近了！’ 8 要医好病人，叫死人复活，使麻风病人痊愈，赶走邪灵。你们白白地得来，也应当白白地给人。 9 出门时钱袋里不要带金、银、铜币， 10 不要带行李、备用的衣服、鞋子或手杖，因为做工的理应得到供应。 11 你们无论到哪座城、哪个村，要在那里寻找愿意接待你们的人，然后住在他家，一直住到离开。 12 你们进他家的时候，要为他们祝福。 13 如果那家配得福气，你们的祝福必临到他们；如果那家不配蒙福，祝福仍归给你们。 14 如果有人不接待你们，不听你们传的信息，你们离开那家或那城时，就把脚上的尘土跺掉作为对他们的警告。 15 我实在告诉你们，在审判之日，他们所受的痛苦比所多玛和蛾摩拉所受的还大！
将临的迫害
16 “听着，我差你们出去，就好像使羊走进狼群一般。所以，你们要像蛇一样机灵，像鸽子一样驯良。
17 “你们要小心谨慎，因为人们要把你们送上法庭，也要在会堂里鞭打你们。 18 你们要因我的缘故被带到官长和君王面前，在他们和外族人面前为我做见证。 19 当你们被押送公堂时，不用顾虑如何应对，或说什么话，那时必会赐给你们当说的话。 20 因为那时候说话的不是你们自己，乃是你们父的灵借着你们说话。
21 “那时，人必把自己的弟兄置于死地，父亲必把儿子置于死地，儿女必反叛父母，置他们于死地。 22 你们将为我的名而被众人憎恨，但坚忍到底的必定得救。 23 如果你们在一个地方遭迫害，就避到另一个地方。我实在告诉你们，没等你们走遍以色列的城镇，人子就来了。
24 “学生不能高过老师，奴仆也不能大过主人。 25 学生顶多和老师一样，奴仆顶多和主人一样。连一家之主都被骂成是别西卜[b]，更何况祂的家人呢？
26 “不要害怕那些迫害你们的人。因为掩盖的事终会暴露出来，隐藏的秘密终会被人知道。 27 你们要把我私下告诉你们的当众讲出来，你们要在屋顶上把听到的悄悄话宣告出来。 28 那些只能杀害身体，不能毁灭灵魂的人，不用怕他们。但要畏惧那位有权将身体和灵魂一同毁灭在地狱里的上帝。 29 两只麻雀不是只卖一个铜钱吗？然而没有天父的许可，一只也不会掉在地上。 30 就连你们的头发都被数过了。 31 所以不要害怕，你们比许多麻雀更贵重！
32 “凡公开承认我的，我在天父面前也必承认他； 33 凡公开不承认我的，我在天父面前也必不承认他。
跟从主的代价
34 “不要以为我来了会让天下太平，我并非带来和平，乃是带来刀剑。 35 因为我来是要叫儿子与父亲作对，女儿与母亲作对，媳妇与婆婆作对， 36 家人之间反目成仇。
37 “爱父母过于爱我的人不配做我的门徒；爱儿女过于爱我的人不配做我的门徒； 38 不肯背起他的十字架跟从我的人不配做我的门徒。 39 试图保全自己生命的反而会失去生命，但为我舍弃生命的反而会得到生命。
得赏赐
40 “人接待你们就是接待我，接待我就是接待差我来的那位。 41 因为某人是先知而接待他的，必得到和先知一样的赏赐；因为某人是义人而接待他的，必得到和义人一样的赏赐。 42 人若接待我门徒中最卑微的人，并因为他是我的门徒而给他一杯凉水喝，我实在告诉你们，那人必得到赏赐。”
Matthew 10
Common English Bible
Mission of the Twelve
10 He called his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits to throw them out and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2 Here are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; James 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 Cananaean;[a] and Judas, who betrayed Jesus.
Commissioning of the Twelve
5 Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, “Don’t go among the Gentiles or into a Samaritan city. 6 Go instead to the lost sheep, the people of Israel. 7 As you go, make this announcement: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, and throw out demons. You received without having to pay. Therefore, give without demanding payment. 9 Workers deserve to be fed, so don’t gather gold or silver or copper coins for your money belts to take on your trips. 10 Don’t take a backpack for the road or two shirts or sandals or a walking stick. 11 Whatever city or village you go into, find somebody in it who is worthy and stay there until you go on your way. 12 When you go into a house, say, ‘Peace!’ 13 If the house is worthy, give it your blessing of peace. But if the house isn’t worthy, take back your blessing. 14 If anyone refuses to welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or city. 15 I assure you that it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on Judgment Day than it will be for that city.
Response to harassment
16 “Look, I’m sending you as sheep among wolves. Therefore, be wise as snakes and innocent as doves. 17 Watch out for people—because they will hand you over to councils and they will beat you in their synagogues. 18 They will haul you in front of governors and even kings because of me so that you may give your testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 Whenever they hand you over, don’t worry about how to speak or what you will say, because what you can say will be given to you at that moment. 20 You aren’t doing the talking, but the Spirit of my Father is doing the talking through you. 21 Brothers and sisters will hand each other over to be executed. A father will turn his child in. Children will defy their parents and have them executed. 22 Everyone will hate you on account of my name. But whoever stands firm until the end will be saved. 23 Whenever they harass you in one city, escape to the next, because I assure that you will not go through all the cities of Israel before the Human One[b] comes.
24 “Disciples aren’t greater than their teacher, and slaves aren’t greater than their master. 25 It’s enough for disciples to be like their teacher and slaves like their master. If they have called the head of the house Beelzebul, it’s certain that they will call the members of his household by even worse names.
Whom to fear
26 “Therefore, don’t be afraid of those people because nothing is hidden that won’t be revealed, and nothing secret that won’t be brought out into the open. 27 What I say to you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, announce from the rooftops. 28 Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body but can’t kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy both body and soul in hell. 29 Aren’t two sparrows sold for a small coin? But not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father knowing about it already. 30 Even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31 Don’t be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
Confessing Christ to people
32 “Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before people, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But everyone who denies me before people, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.
Trouble in the family
34 “Don’t think that I’ve come to bring peace to the earth. I haven’t come to bring peace but a sword. 35 I’ve come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 People’s enemies are members of their own households.[c]
37 “Those who love father or mother more than me aren’t worthy of me. Those who love son or daughter more than me aren’t worthy of me. 38 Those who don’t pick up their crosses and follow me aren’t worthy of me. 39 Those who find their lives will lose them, and those who lose their lives because of me will find them.
Rewards
40 “Those who receive you are also receiving me, and those who receive me are receiving the one who sent me. 41 Those who receive a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. Those who receive a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 I assure you that everybody who gives even a cup of cold water to these little ones because they are my disciples will certainly be rewarded.”

Reina Valera Contemporánea
Elección de los doce apóstoles(A)
10 Jesús reunió a sus doce discípulos, y les dio poder para expulsar a los espíritus impuros y para sanar toda enfermedad y toda dolencia. 2 Éstos son los nombres de los doce apóstoles: primero Simón, llamado Pedro, y Andrés su hermano; luego Jacobo y su hermano Juan, hijos de Zebedeo; 3 Felipe, Bartolomé, Tomás, Mateo el cobrador de impuestos, Jacobo hijo de Alfeo, Tadeo, 4 Simón el cananista, y Judas Iscariote, que después lo traicionó.
Misión de los doce(B)
5 Jesús envió a estos doce, con las siguientes instrucciones: «No vayan por camino de paganos, ni entren en ciudad de samaritanos, 6 sino vayan más bien a las ovejas perdidas de la casa de Israel. 7 Vayan y prediquen: “El reino de los cielos se ha acercado.” 8 Sanen enfermos, limpien leprosos, resuciten muertos y expulsen demonios. Den gratuitamente lo que gratuitamente recibieron. 9 No lleven consigo oro ni plata ni cobre,(C) 10 ni mochila para el camino, ni dos túnicas, ni calzado, ni bastón; porque el obrero es digno de su alimento.(D) 11 En cualquier ciudad o aldea a la que lleguen, busquen a alguien que sea digno, y quédense allí hasta que salgan. 12 Al entrar en la casa, saluden. 13 Si la casa es digna, recibirá la paz que ustedes le deseen; pero si no es digna, ese deseo de paz se volverá a ustedes. 14 Si alguien no los recibe, ni oye sus palabras, salgan de aquella casa o ciudad, y sacúdanse el polvo de los pies.(E) 15 De cierto les digo que, en el día del juicio, el castigo para la tierra de Sodoma y de Gomorra,(F) será más tolerable que para aquella ciudad.(G)
Persecuciones venideras
16 »Tengan ustedes en cuenta que los estoy enviando como a ovejas en medio de lobos;(H) así que sean prudentes como serpientes y sencillos como palomas. 17 Cuídense de la gente, porque los entregarán a los tribunales, y los azotarán en las sinagogas; 18 y por causa de mí, incluso los harán comparecer ante gobernadores y reyes, para que den testimonio ante ellos y ante las naciones. 19 Pero cuando ustedes sean entregados, no se preocupen por lo que han de decir, ni por cómo habrán de decirlo, porque en ese momento se les dará lo que tienen que decir. 20 Porque no serán ustedes los que hablen, sino que el Espíritu de su Padre hablará por ustedes. 21 El hermano entregará a la muerte al hermano, y el padre al hijo. Los hijos se levantarán contra los padres, y los harán morir.(I) 22 Por causa de mi nombre todo el mundo los odiará,(J) pero el que resista hasta el fin será salvado.(K) 23 Cuando los persigan en una ciudad, huyan a otra; porque de cierto les digo que no terminarán de recorrer todas las ciudades de Israel, antes que venga el Hijo del Hombre.
24 El discípulo no es más que su maestro,(L) ni el siervo más que su señor.(M) 25 Al discípulo debe bastarle con ser como su maestro, y al siervo como su señor. Si al dueño de la casa lo han llamado Beelzebú,(N) ¿cuánto más a los de su familia?
A quién se debe temer(O)
26 »Así que, no los teman, porque no hay nada encubierto que no haya de ser manifestado, ni nada oculto que no haya de saberse.(P) 27 Lo que les digo en las tinieblas, díganlo en la luz; y lo que oyen al oído, proclámenlo desde las azoteas. 28 No teman a los que matan el cuerpo, pero no pueden matar el alma. Más bien, teman a aquel que puede destruir alma y cuerpo en el infierno. 29 ¿Acaso no se venden dos pajarillos por unas cuantas monedas? Aun así, ni uno de ellos cae a tierra sin que el Padre de ustedes lo permita, 30 pues aun los cabellos de ustedes están todos contados. 31 Así que no teman, pues ustedes valen más que muchos pajarillos. 32 A cualquiera que me confiese delante de los hombres, yo también lo confesaré delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos. 33 Y a cualquiera que me niegue delante de los hombres, yo también lo negaré delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos.(Q)
Jesús, causa de división(R)
34 »No piensen que he venido para traer paz a la tierra; no he venido para traer paz, sino espada. 35 He venido para poner al hijo contra su padre, a la hija contra su madre, y a la nuera contra su suegra. 36 Los enemigos del hombre serán los de su casa.(S) 37 El que ama a su padre o a su madre más que a mí, no es digno de mí. El que ama a su hijo o hija más que a mí, no es digno de mí. 38 El que no toma su cruz y me sigue, no es digno de mí.(T) 39 El que halla su vida, la perderá; y el que pierde su vida por causa de mí, la hallará.(U)
Recompensas(V)
40 »El que los recibe a ustedes, me recibe a mí;(W) y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió.(X) 41 El que recibe a un profeta porque es profeta, recibirá igual recompensa que el profeta; y el que recibe a un justo porque es justo, recibirá igual recompensa que el justo. 42 De cierto les digo que cualquiera que dé a uno de estos pequeñitos aunque sea un vaso de agua fría, por tratarse de un discípulo, no perderá su recompensa.»
Matthew 10
The Voice
Matthew gives a summary of what Jesus has done—teaching, preaching, and healing—and why He has done it—because of His compassion. Jesus then calls His disciples to this same type of ministry. The following sermon that Jesus gives to His disciples is the second of the five main sermons in Matthew.
10 Jesus called His twelve disciples to Him. He endowed them with the authority to heal sickness and disease and to drive demons out of those who were possessed.
Up to this point, the disciples have been, mostly, following Jesus around, listening to Him teach, watching Him heal. And so now we call these twelve beloved men not merely “disciples,” or “apprentices,” but “apostles,” which means “those who are sent as representatives, emissaries.” Jesus is preparing to send them into the harvest field to do His Father’s work.
2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: Simon (who is called Peter, which means “the rock”) 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 would betray Him).
5 Jesus sent out these twelve with clear instructions.
Jesus: Don’t go to the outsiders or to the towns inhabited by Samaritans, a people whose Jewish ancestors married Gentiles. 6 Go instead to find and heal the lost sheep of Israel. 7 As you go, preach this message: “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, and cleanse those who have leprosy. Drive out demons from the possessed. You received these gifts freely, so you should give them to others freely. 9 Do not take money with you: don’t take gold, silver, or even small, worthless change. 10 Do not pack a bag with clothes. Do not take sandals or a walking stick. Be fed and sheltered by those who show you hospitality. 11 When you enter a town or village, look for someone who is trustworthy and stay at his house as long as you are visiting that town. 12 When you enter this home, greet the household kindly. 13 And if the home is indeed trustworthy, let your blessing of peace rest upon it; if not, keep your blessing to yourself. 14 If someone is inhospitable to you or refuses to listen to your testimony, leave that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. 15 This is the truth: Sodom and Gomorrah, those ancient pits of inhospitality, will fare better on judgment day than towns who ignore you tomorrow or next week.
16 Listen: I am sending you out to be sheep among wolves. You must be as shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves. 17 You must be careful. You must be discerning. You must be on your guard. There will be men who try to hand you over to their town councils and have you flogged in their synagogues. 18 Because of Me, naysayers and doubters will try to make an example out of you by trying you before rulers and kings. 19 When this happens—when you are arrested, dragged to court—don’t worry about what to say or how to say it. The words you should speak will be given to you. For at that moment, 20 it will not be you speaking; it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21 Your task will be fraught with betrayal: brother will betray brother, even to the point of death; fathers will betray their children, and children will rebel against their fathers, even to the point of death. 22-23 When you are persecuted in one town, flee to the next town. This is the truth: you will not be able to witness to every town in Israel before the Son of Man comes. Everyone will hate you because of Me. But remember: the one who stays on the narrow path until the end will be saved.
24 A student is no greater than his teacher, and a servant is never greater than his master. 25 It is sufficient if the student is like his teacher and the servant like his master. If people call the head of a house “Beelzebul,” which means “devil,” just imagine what they’re calling the members of his household.
26 Do not be afraid of those who may taunt or persecute you. Everything they do—even if they think they are hiding behind closed doors—will come to light. All their secrets will eventually be made known. 27 And you should proclaim in the bright light of day everything that I have whispered to you in the dark. Whatever whispers you hear—shout them from the rooftops of houses.
28 Don’t fear those who aim to kill just the body but are unable to touch the soul. The One to fear is He who can destroy you, soul and body, in the fires of hell. 29 Look, if you sold a few sparrows, how much money would you get? A copper coin apiece, perhaps? And yet your Father in heaven knows when those small sparrows fall to the ground. 30-31 You, beloved, are worth so much more than a whole flock of sparrows. God knows everything about you, even the number of hairs on your head. So do not fear.
32 Whoever knows Me here on earth, I will know him in heaven. And whoever proclaims faith in Me here on earth, I will proclaim faith in him before My Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns Me here, I will disown before My Father in heaven.
34 Do not imagine that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 I have come to turn men against their fathers, daughters against their mothers, and daughters-in-law against their mothers-in-law. 36 You will find you have enemies even in your own household.[a] 37 If you love your father or mother more than you love Me, then you are not worthy of Me. If you love your son or daughter more than you love Me, then you are not worthy of Me. 38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow Me on the narrow road, then you are not worthy of Me. 39 To find your life, you must lose your life—and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
Jesus calls His disciples to a radical commitment. Those who truly follow Jesus must be willing to follow Him to the point of death, just as He will later die for His commitment to God and others. Thus, whether they die literally or figuratively, His followers give up their lives for Him.
Jesus: 40 Anyone who welcomes you welcomes Me, and anyone who welcomes Me welcomes the One who sent Me. 41 Anyone who welcomes a prophet and surrenders to his prophecy will receive a prophet’s reward, and anyone who welcomes a righteous person and conforms to the righteousness that surrounds him and proceeds from him will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42 And anyone who has given so much as a cup of cold water to one of the little ones, because he is My disciple, I tell you, that person will be well rewarded.
Mateo 10
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
Ang Labindalawang Apostol(A)
10 Tinawag ni Jesus ang kanyang labindalawang alagad at binigyan sila ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng maruruming espiritu at magpagaling ng lahat ng uri ng sakit at karamdaman. 2 Narito ang mga pangalan ng labindalawang apostol: una ay si Simon, na tinaguriang Pedro, at si Andres na kanyang kapatid; si Santiago na anak ni Zebedeo, at ang kapatid niyang si Juan; 3 sina Felipe at Bartolome; sina Tomas at Mateo na maniningil ng buwis; si Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, at si Tadeo; 4 si Simon na Cananeo, at si Judas Iscariote, ang nagkanulo kay Jesus.
Isinugo ni Jesus ang Labindalawa(B)
5 Ang labindalawang ito ay sinugo ni Jesus at inatasan ng ganito, “Huwag kayong pupunta sa mga Hentil, ni papasok sa alinmang bayan ng mga Samaritano. 6 Sa halip, puntahan ninyo ang mga nawawalang tupa sa sambahayan ng Israel. 7 Sa inyong paghayo ay ipahayag ninyo: ‘Malapit nang dumating ang kaharian ng langit.’ 8 Ang mga maysakit ay inyong pagalingin, ang mga patay ay inyong buhayin, ang mga ketongin ay inyong linisin, at ang mga demonyo ay inyong palayasin. Tinanggap ninyo nang walang bayad, ipamigay din ninyong walang bayad. 9 Huwag kayong magdadala ng ginto, pilak o tanso sa inyong lalagyan ng salapi, 10 o kaya'y ng supot para sa inyong paglalakbay, o ng dalawang bihisan, o mga sandalyas, o tungkod, sapagkat may karapatan ang manggagawa sa kanyang pagkain. 11 At saanmang bayan o nayon kayo makarating, humanap kayo roon ng taong karapat-dapat. Makituloy kayo sa kanya hanggang sa inyong paglisan. 12 Pagpasok ninyo sa bahay, basbasan ninyo ito. 13 At kung karapat-dapat ang sambahayang iyon, igawad ninyo ang inyong basbas ng kapayapaan doon, subalit kung hindi ito karapat-dapat, bawiin ninyo ang basbas ng kapayapaang iginawad ninyo. 14 Kung mayroong hindi tumanggap sa inyo o ayaw makinig sa inyong mga salita, ipagpag ninyo ang alikabok na nasa inyong mga paa pag-alis ninyo sa bahay o bayang iyon. 15 Tinitiyak ko sa inyo, mas kaaawaan pa ang lupain ng Sodoma at Gomorra kaysa sa bayang iyon.
Mga Pag-uusig na Darating(C)
16 “Tandaan ninyo, isinusugo ko kayo na parang mga tupa sa gitna ng mga asong-gubat. Kaya't magpakatalino kayong gaya ng mga ahas at maging maamo gaya ng mga kalapati. 17 Mag-ingat kayo sa mga tao, sapagkat may mga magkakanulo sa inyo sa mga hukuman at hahagupit sa inyo sa kanilang mga sinagoga. 18 Dadakpin kayo at ihaharap sa mga tagapamahala at sa mga hari dahil sa akin, upang magbigay-patotoo sa kanila at sa mga Hentil. 19 Kapag kayo'y ipinadakip, huwag ninyong ipangamba kung paano kayo magsasalita o kung ano ang inyong sasabihin, sapagkat ang inyong sasabihin ay ibibigay sa inyo sa oras ding iyon. 20 Hindi na kayo ang nagsasalita, kundi ang Espiritu ng inyong Ama ang nagsasalita sa pamamagitan ninyo. 21 Magkakanulo ang kapatid sa kapatid upang ito'y ipapatay, pati ang ama sa kanyang anak, at maghihimagsik ang mga anak laban sa kanilang mga magulang, at kanilang ipapapatay ang mga ito. 22 Kamumuhian kayo ng lahat dahil sa aking pangalan. Subalit ang makatagal hanggang sa wakas ay maliligtas. 23 Kapag ginigipit nila kayo sa isang bayan, tumakas kayo papunta sa kasunod, sapagkat tinitiyak ko sa inyo, hindi pa ninyo nararating ang lahat ng mga bayan sa Israel ay darating na ang Anak ng Tao.
24 “Ang mag-aaral ay hindi mas mataas kaysa kanyang guro, o ang alipin kaysa kanyang panginoon. 25 Sapat na para sa mag-aaral ang maging katulad ng kanyang guro at sa alipin ang maging katulad ng kanyang panginoon. Kung ang pinuno ng sambahayan ay tinawag nilang Beelzebul, higit nilang aalipustain ang kanyang mga kasambahay!
Ang Dapat Katakutan(D)
26 “Kaya't huwag kayong matakot sa kanila, sapagkat walang natatakpan na hindi malalantad, o kaya'y nakatago na hindi mabubunyag. 27 Kung may sinabi ako sa inyo sa dilim, sabihin ninyo sa liwanag. Kung may narinig kayong ibinulong, ipagsigawan ninyo sa ibabaw ng mga bahay. 28 At huwag kayong matakot sa mga pumapatay ng katawan, subalit walang kakayahang pumatay ng kaluluwa. Sa halip ay matakot kayo sa kanya na may kapangyarihang pumuksa ng kaluluwa at ng katawan sa impiyerno. 29 Hindi ba't nabibili ang dalawang maya sa isang kusing? Ngunit isa man sa kanila ay hindi nahuhulog sa lupa na hindi napapansin ng inyong Ama. 30 Pati nga ang mga buhok sa ulo ninyo ay biláng na lahat. 31 Huwag kayong matakot. Higit kayong mahalaga kaysa maraming maya.
Pagkilala kay Cristo(E)
32 “Kaya't sinumang kumikilala sa akin sa harapan ng mga tao ay siya ko ring kikilalanin sa harapan ng aking Amang nasa langit. 33 Ngunit sinumang sa akin ay magkaila sa harapan ng mga tao ay siya ring ipagkakaila ko sa harapan ng aking Amang nasa langit.
Hindi Kapayapaan kundi Tabak(F)
34 “Huwag ninyong akalaing dumating ako upang magdala ng kapayapaan sa lupa. Hindi ako dumating upang magdala ng kapayapaan, kundi ng tabak. 35 Dumating ako upang labanan ng isang lalaki ang kanyang ama, ng anak na babae ang kanyang ina, at ng manugang na babae ang kanyang biyenang babae. 36 Ang magiging kaaway ng tao ay mismong ang sarili niyang mga kasambahay. 37 Ang nagmamahal sa ama o sa ina nang higit kaysa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin; at ang nagmamahal sa anak na lalaki o babae nang higit kaysa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. 38 Sinumang hindi nagpapasan ng kanyang krus at sumusunod sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. 39 Ang nagsisikap para sa kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito, at ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay makatatagpo nito.
Mga Gantimpala(G)
40 “Ang tumatanggap sa inyo ay tumatanggap sa akin, at ang tumatanggap sa akin ay tumatanggap sa nagsugo sa akin. 41 Ang tumatanggap sa isang propeta sa pangalan ng propeta ay tatanggap ng gantimpala ng propeta. At ang tumatanggap sa isang taong matuwid sa pangalan ng taong matuwid ay tatanggap ng gantimpala ng taong matuwid. 42 Sinumang magbigay ng isang basong tubig na malamig sa isa sa mga hamak na ito sa pangalan ng isang alagad, tinitiyak ko sa inyong hindi siya mawawalan ng gantimpala.”
