差遣十二使徒(A)

10 耶穌叫了十二門徒來,賜給他們勝過污靈的權柄,可以趕出污靈和醫治各種疾病、各種病症。 十二使徒的名字如下:為首的是西門(又名彼得),西門的弟弟安得烈,西庇太的兒子雅各,雅各的弟弟約翰, 腓力,巴多羅邁,多馬,稅吏馬太,亞勒腓的兒子雅各,達太, 激進派的西門,和出賣耶穌的加略人猶大。 耶穌差遣這十二個人出去,並且囑咐他們:“外族人的路,你們不要走,撒瑪利亞人的城,你們也不要進; 卻要到以色列家的迷羊那裡去。 你們要一邊走一邊宣揚說:‘天國近了。’ 要醫治有病的,叫死人復活,潔淨患痲風的,趕出污鬼。你們白白地得來,也應當白白地給人。 你們腰袋裡不要帶金、銀、銅錢; 10 路上不要帶行囊,也不要帶兩件衣裳,不要帶鞋或手杖,因為作工的理當得到供應。 11 你們無論進哪一座城哪一個村,都要打聽誰配接待你們,就住在那裡,直到離去。 12 到他家裡的時候,要向他們問安; 13 如果這家是配得的,你們的平安就必臨到他們;如果這家不配得,你們的平安仍歸你們。 14 如果有人不接待你們,不聽你們的話,你們離開那一家那一城的時候,就要把腳上的灰塵跺下去。 15 我實在告訴你們,在審判的日子,所多瑪和蛾摩拉所受的,比那城還輕呢。

使徒會遭受迫害(B)

16 “現在,我差派你們出去,好像羊進到狼群中間;所以你們要像蛇一樣機警,像鴿子一樣純潔。 17 你們要小心,因為有人要把你們送交公議會,並要在會堂裡鞭打你們; 18 你們為我的緣故,也要被帶到統治者和君王面前,向他們和外族人作見證。 19 你們被捕的時候,用不著擔心說甚麼和怎麼說,因為那時你們必得著當說的話; 20 因為說話的不是你們,而是你們的父的靈,是他在你們裡面說話。 21 弟兄要出賣弟兄,父親要出賣兒女,甚至把他們置於死地;兒女要悖逆父母,害死他們。 22 你們為我的名,要被眾人恨惡,然而堅忍到底的必然得救。 23 如果有人在這城迫害你們,就逃到別的城去。我實在告訴你們,你們還沒有走遍以色列的各城,人子就來到了。

24 “學生不能勝過老師,奴僕也不能勝過主人。 25 學生若能像老師一樣,奴僕若能像主人一樣,也就夠了。如果一家之主也被稱為別西卜(“別西卜”是鬼王的名字),何況他的家人呢?

應該怕誰(C)

26 “所以不要怕他們。沒有甚麼掩蓋的事不被揭露,也沒有甚麼祕密是人不知道的。 27 我在暗處告訴你們的,你們要在明處講出來;你們聽見的耳語,要在房頂上宣揚出來。 28 那些殺身體卻不能殺靈魂的,不要怕他們;倒要怕那位能把靈魂和身體都投入地獄裡的。 29 兩隻麻雀不是賣一個大錢嗎?但你們的父若不許可,一隻也不會掉在地上。 30 甚至你們的頭髮都一一數過了。 31 所以不要怕,你們比許多麻雀貴重得多呢。

32 “凡在人面前承認我的,我在我天父面前也要承認他; 33 在人面前不認我的,我在我天父面前也要不認他。

作門徒的代價(D)

34 “你們不要以為我來了,是要給地上帶來和平;我並沒有帶來和平,卻帶來刀劍, 35 因為我來了是要叫人分裂:

人與父親作對,

女兒與母親作對,

媳婦與婆婆作對,

36 人的仇敵就是自己的家人。

37 愛父母過於愛我的,不配作屬我的;愛兒女過於愛我的,不配作屬我的; 38 凡不背起自己的十字架來跟從我的,也不配作屬我的。 39 顧惜自己生命的,必要喪掉生命;但為我犧牲生命的,必要得著生命。

得賞賜(E)

40 “接待你們的,就是接待我;接待我的,就是接待那差我來的。 41 因先知的名接待先知的,必得先知所得的賞賜;因義人的名接待義人的,必得義人所得的賞賜。 42 無論誰因門徒的名,只把一杯涼水給這些微不足道的人中的一個喝,我實在告訴你們,他決不會得不到他的賞賜。”

10 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

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

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

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

Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

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

12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

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

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

21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

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

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

26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

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

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

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

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come 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.

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

37 He 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.

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

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

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

41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of sickness and disease.

2-4 Here are the names of his twelve disciples: Simon (also called Peter), Andrew (Peter’s brother), James (Zebedee’s son), John (James’s brother), Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew (the tax collector), James (Alphaeus’s son), Thaddaeus, Simon (a member of “The Zealots,” a subversive political party), Judas Iscariot (the one who betrayed him).

Jesus sent them out with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans, but only to the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep. Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.[a] Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure the lepers, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!

“Don’t take any money with you; 10 don’t even carry a duffle bag with extra clothes and shoes, or even a walking stick; for those you help should feed and care for you. 11 Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a godly man and stay in his home until you leave for the next town. 12 When you ask permission to stay, be friendly, 13 and if it turns out to be a godly home, give it your blessing; if not, keep the blessing. 14 Any city or home that doesn’t welcome you—shake off the dust of that place from your feet as you leave. 15 Truly, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be better off at Judgment Day than they.

16 “I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. Be as wary as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But beware! For you will be arrested and tried, and whipped in the synagogues. 18 Yes, and you must stand trial before governors and kings for my sake. This will give you the opportunity to tell them about me, yes, to witness to the world.

19 “When you are arrested, don’t worry about what to say at your trial, for you will be given the right words at the right time. 20 For it won’t be you doing the talking—it will be the Spirit of your heavenly Father speaking through you!

21 “Brother shall betray brother to death, and fathers shall betray their own children. And children shall rise against their parents and cause their deaths. 22 Everyone shall hate you because you belong to me. But all of you who endure to the end shall be saved.

23 “When you are persecuted in one city, flee to the next! I[b] will return before you have reached them all! 24 A student is not greater than his teacher. A servant is not above his master. 25 The student shares his teacher’s fate. The servant shares his master’s! And since I, the master of the household, have been called ‘Satan,’[c] how much more will you! 26 But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when the truth will be revealed: their secret plots will become public information.

27 “What I tell you now in the gloom, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ears, proclaim from the housetops!

28 “Don’t be afraid of those who can kill only your bodies—but can’t touch your souls! Fear only God who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Not one sparrow (What do they cost? Two for a penny?) can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 And the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t worry! You are more valuable to him than many sparrows.

32 “If anyone publicly acknowledges me as his friend, I will openly acknowledge him as my friend before my Father in heaven. 33 But if anyone publicly denies me, I will openly deny him before my Father in heaven.

34 “Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! No, rather, a sword. 35 I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law— 36 a man’s worst enemies will be right in his own home! 37 If you love your father and mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. 38 If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine.

39 “If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give it up for me, you will save it.

40 “Those who welcome you are welcoming me. And when they welcome me they are welcoming God who sent me. 41 If you welcome a prophet because he is a man of God, you will be given the same reward a prophet gets. And if you welcome good and godly men because of their godliness, you will be given a reward like theirs.

42 “And if, as my representatives, you give even a cup of cold water to a little child, you will surely be rewarded.”

耶稣差遣十二使徒

10 耶稣叫了十二个门徒来,给他们权柄,能赶逐污鬼,并医治各样的病症。

这十二使徒的名:头一个叫西门,又称彼得,还有他兄弟安得烈西庇太的儿子雅各雅各的兄弟约翰 腓力巴多罗买多马和税吏马太亚勒腓的儿子雅各,和达太 奋锐党的西门,还有卖耶稣的加略犹大

耶稣差这十二个人去,吩咐他们说:“外邦人的路你们不要走,撒马利亚人的城你们不要进, 宁可往以色列家迷失的羊那里去。 随走随传,说‘天国近了’。 医治病人,叫死人复活,叫长大麻风的洁净,把鬼赶出去。你们白白地得来,也要白白地舍去。 腰袋里不要带金银铜钱, 10 行路不要带口袋,不要带两件褂子也不要带鞋和拐杖因为工人得饮食是应当的。 11 你们无论进哪一城、哪一村,要打听那里谁是好人,就住在他家,直住到走的时候。 12 进他家里去,要请他的安。 13 那家若配得平安,你们所求的平安就必临到那家;若不配得,你们所求的平安仍归你们。 14 凡不接待你们、不听你们话的人,你们离开那家或是那城的时候,就把脚上的尘土跺下去。 15 我实在告诉你们:当审判的日子,所多玛蛾摩拉所受的比那城还容易受呢!

警戒勉励

16 “我差你们去,如同羊进入狼群,所以你们要灵巧像蛇,驯良像鸽子。 17 你们要防备人,因为他们要把你们交给公会,也要在会堂里鞭打你们, 18 并且你们要为我的缘故被送到诸侯君王面前对他们和外邦人作见证。 19 你们被交的时候,不要思虑怎样说话或说什么话,到那时候必赐给你们当说的话; 20 因为不是你们自己说的,乃是你们父的灵在你们里头说的。

服侍主之艰难

21 “弟兄要把弟兄,父亲要把儿子,送到死地;儿女要与父母为敌,害死他们。 22 并且你们要为我的名被众人恨恶,唯有忍耐到底的,必然得救。 23 有人在这城里逼迫你们,就逃到那城里去。我实在告诉你们:以色列的城邑你们还没有走遍,人子就到了。

学生不能高过先生

24 “学生不能高过先生,仆人不能高过主人。 25 学生和先生一样,仆人和主人一样,也就罢了。人既骂家主是别西卜[a],何况他的家人呢? 26 所以不要怕他们,因为掩盖的事没有不露出来的,隐藏的事没有不被人知道的。 27 我在暗中告诉你们的,你们要在明处说出来;你们耳中所听的,要在房上宣扬出来。 28 那杀身体不能杀灵魂的,不要怕他们;唯有能把身体和灵魂都灭在地狱里的,正要怕他。 29 两个麻雀不是卖一分银子吗?若是你们的父不许,一个也不能掉在地上。 30 就是你们的头发,也都被数过了。 31 所以,不要惧怕,你们比许多麻雀还贵重。 32 凡在人面前认我的,我在我天上的父面前也必认他; 33 凡在人面前不认我的,我在我天上的父面前也必不认他。

34 “你们不要想我来是叫地上太平,我来并不是叫地上太平,乃是叫地上动刀兵。 35 因为我来是叫‘人与父亲生疏,女儿与母亲生疏,媳妇与婆婆生疏; 36 人的仇敌就是自己家里的人’。 37 爱父母过于爱我的,不配做我的门徒;爱儿女过于爱我的,不配做我的门徒; 38 不背着他的十字架跟从我的,也不配做我的门徒。 39 得着生命的,将要失丧生命;为我失丧生命的,将要得着生命。

服侍主的赏赐

40 “人接待你们,就是接待我;接待我,就是接待那差我来的。 41 人因为先知的名接待先知,必得先知所得的赏赐;人因为义人的名接待义人,必得义人所得的赏赐。 42 无论何人,因为门徒的名,只把一杯凉水给这小子里的一个喝,我实在告诉你们:这人不能不得赏赐。”
