Matthew 10
American Standard Version

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

2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; [a]James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the [b]publican; [c]James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the [d]Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also [e]betrayed him.

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans: 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give. 9 Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your [f]purses; 10 no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. 11 And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth. 12 And as ye enter into the 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, as ye go forth out of that house or that 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 Gomorrah 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 [g]harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; 18 yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 21 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and [h]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, the same shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a [i]servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the [j]servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house [k]Beelzebub, how much more 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 the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops. 28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [l]hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father: 30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Every one therefore who shall confess [m]me before men, [n]him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

34 Think not that I came to [o]send peace on the earth: I came not to [p]send peace, but a sword. 35 For 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: 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 doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that [q]findeth his life shall lose it; and he that [r]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.

Matthew 10
New King James Version

The Twelve Apostles(A)

10 And (B)when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, (C)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 [a]Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 (D)Simon the [b]Cananite, and Judas (E)Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

Sending Out the Twelve(F)

5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: (G)“Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of (H)the Samaritans. 6 (I)But go rather to the (J)lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 (K)And as you go, preach, saying, (L)‘The kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, [d]cleanse the lepers, [e]raise the dead, cast out demons. (M)Freely you have received, freely give. 9 (N)Provide neither gold nor silver nor (O)copper in your money belts, 10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; (P)for a worker is worthy of his food.

11 (Q)“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. 12 And when you go into a household, greet it. 13 (R)If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. (S)But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 (T)And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, (U)shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, (V)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Persecutions Are Coming(W)

16 (X)“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. (Y)Therefore be wise as serpents and (Z)harmless[f] as doves. 17 But beware of men, for (AA)they will deliver you up to councils and (AB)scourge you in their synagogues. 18 (AC)You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 (AD)But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For (AE)it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 (AF)for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21 (AG)“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And (AH)you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. (AI)But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 (AJ)When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have (AK)gone through the cities of Israel (AL)before the Son of Man comes.

24 (AM)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If (AN)they have called the master of the house [g]Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. (AO)For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

Jesus Teaches the Fear of God(AP)

27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, (AQ)speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 (AR)And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather (AS)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [h]hell. 29 Are not two (AT)sparrows sold for a [i]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 (AU)But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men(AV)

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

Christ Brings Division(AZ)

34 (BA)“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to (BB)‘set[j] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and (BC)‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 (BD)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 (BE)And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 (BF)He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

A Cup of Cold Water(BG)

40 (BH)“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 (BI)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 (BJ)And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

5 (G)These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of (H)the Samaritans, 6 (I)but go rather to (J)the lost sheep of (K)the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, (L)‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’[c] 8 (M)Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,[d] cast out demons. (N)You received without paying; give without pay. 9 (O)Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics[e] or sandals or a staff, for (P)the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, (Q)greet it. 13 And if the house is (R)worthy, let (S)your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let (T)your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, (U)shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, (V)it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for (W)the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Persecution Will Come

16 (X)“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be (Y)wise as serpents and (Z)innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for (AA)they will deliver you over to courts and flog you (AB)in their synagogues, 18 (AC)and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, (AD)to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 (AE)When (AF)they deliver you over, (AG)do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for (AH)what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 (AI)For it is not you who speak, but (AJ)the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 (AK)Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 (AL)and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. (AM)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they (AN)persecute you in one town, (AO)flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel (AP)before the Son of Man comes.

24 (AQ)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant[f] above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. (AR)If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign[g] those of his household.

Have No Fear

26 “So have no fear of them, (AS)for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on (AT)the housetops. 28 And (AU)do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him (AV)who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[h] 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?[i] And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (AW)even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; (AX)you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 (AY)So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33 but (AZ)whoever denies me before men, (BA)I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

Not Peace, but a Sword

34 (BB)“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. (BC)I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 (BD)For I have come (BE)to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 (BF)And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 (BG)Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And (BH)whoever does not take his cross and (BI)follow me is not worthy of me. 39 (BJ)Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Rewards

40 (BK)“Whoever receives you receives me, and (BL)whoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 (BM)The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. 42 And (BN)whoever gives one of (BO)these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

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)

Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil

Jezi voye apot li yo al nan yon misyon

(Mak 3:13-19; 6:7-13; Lik 6:12-16; 9:1-6)

10 Jezi rele douz disip yo, li ba yo otorite sou tout move lespri, pou yo chase demon epi geri tout kalite maladi. 2 Men non douz apot yo:

An premye, nou jwenn Simon (yo rele l Pyè)

epi frè li ki rele Andre,

Jak pitit Zebede

ansanm ak frè li Jan,

3 Filip ak Batèlmi,

Toma ak Matye,

pèseptè kontribisyon an,

Jak pitit Alfe ak Tade,

4 Simon, zelòt la ak

Jida Iskaryòt, sila a ki te trayi Jezi.

5 Anvan Jezi voye yo douz apot yo pati pou misyon an, men lòd Jezi te bay: “Evite tout zòn payen yo. Pa antre nan vil Samariten. 6 Ale sèlman nan zòn kote Juif yo ye. Yo tankou yon bann mouton ki pèdi patiray. 7 Ale di yo: Wayòm syèl la pa lwen. 8 Geri malad yo. Resisite moun mouri. Geri moun ki gen lèp yo. Chase demon. Nou resevwa gratis, bay moun gratis. 9 Nou pa bezwen pote lajan pòch. 10 Nou pa bezwen pote sak pwovizyon. Nou pa bezwen pote rad derechany oswa sandal pou n mete. Nou pa bezwen pote baton. M di nou sa, paske ouvriye a merite salè li.

11 Lè nou antre nan yon gwo vil oswa yon ti vil, chache konnen kay ki moun serye nou ka desann, epi rete la jouktan nou kite zòn sa a. 12 Lè n ap antre nan yon kay, se pou nou di: Lapè! 13 Si moun ki nan kay la byen resevwa w, se moun ki merite salitasyon lapè w pote a. Lapè w la ap rete nan kay la. Men, si yo mal resevwa w, yo pa merite menm salitasyon lapè w la. Lapè a ap retounen vin jwenn ou. 14 Lè yo pa vle resevwa nou nan yon kay oubyen nan yon vil, lè yo pa vle resevwa nou, soti kite lavil la epi souke pousyè nan pye nou kòm yon avètisman pou yo. 15 M ap di nou sa: nan jou jijman an, bagay la ap pi rèd pou moun lavil sa a pase pou moun Sodòm ak Gomò.[a]

Jezi avèti disip yo sou kèk moman difisil

(Mak 13:9-13; Lik 21:12-17)

16 Fè atansyon! M ap voye nou tankou ti mouton nan mitan lou. Se pou nou entèlijan tankou koulèv, se pou nou pèzib tankou pijon. 17 Fè atansyon! Yo gen pou yo arete nou, jije nou nan tribinal. Yo gen pou yo bat nou nan sinagòg. 18 Nou gen pou n al jije devan wa ak gouvènè poutèt nou se disip mwen. Temwanye pou mwen devan yo ak devan payen yo. 19 Lè yo arete nou, nou pa bezwen ap kraze tèt nou sou kisa nou pral di oubyen kijan nou pral di l. Lè lè a rive pou n pale, pawòl ap vin nan bouch nou san pwoblèm. 20 Se pa vrèman nou menm ki pral pale, se Lespri Papa nou ki nan nou ki pral pale.

21 Frè pral leve kont pwòp frè yo. Y ap livre yo bay lòt moun pou yo touye. Papa pral livre pwòp pitit yo bay lòt moun pou yo touye. Pitit pral leve kont pwòp paran yo epi touye yo. 22 Akòz nou se disip mwen, moun p ap vle wè nou. Men Bondye ap sove sila ki rete fidèl jiska lafen. 23 Lè y ap maltrete nou nan yon vil, al pran refij nan yon lòt. Mwen ba nou garanti nou p ap gen tan pran refij nan tout vil nan peyi Izrayèl anvan Pitit Lòm nan retounen.

24 Yon elèv pa pi fò pase pwofesè l. Ni, esklav la pa pi enpòtan pase mèt li. 25 Elèv la kontan pou l tankou pwofesè li. Esklav la kontan pou l tankou mèt li. Si mwen menm ki tèt fanmi lan, yo gentan rele m Bèlzebil,[b] nou pa menm bezwen mande kijan yo pral trete nou, nou menm ki fè pati menm fanmi lan.

Gen krentif pou Bondye, pa pè lòt moun

(Lik 12:2-7)

26 Nou pa bezwen pè moun sa yo. Pa gen anyen ki kache ki p ap dekouvri yon jou. Pa gen anyen sekrè ki p ap devwale. 27 Sa m ap di nou an prive, nou mèt di l devan tout moun. Sa m ap di nou nan zòrèy, nou mèt monte sou tèt yon kay pou repete l byen fò.

28 Nou pa bezwen pè moun ki ka touye kò a men ki pa ka fè nanm lan anyen. An nou pè Bondye pito, li menm ki ka detwi ni kò a ni nanm lan nan dife lanfè. 29 Gen zwazo ki tèlman piti, ou ka vann yon pè pou yon ti kòb ki pa itil anyen. Poutan pa gen youn nan ti zwazo sa yo ki ka tonbe atè san pèmisyon Papa a. 30 Bondye konte menm ata konbyen pye cheve ki nan tèt ou. 31 Ou pa bezwen pè, paske ou gen plis valè pase anpil ti zwazo.

Ou pa bezwen jennen devan moun poutèt lafwa w

(Lik 12:8-9)

32 Nenpòt moun ki kanpe an piblik pou l di se moun mwen li ye, mwen ap kanpe devan Papa m ki nan syèl la pou m di: moun sa a se moun mwen. 33 Men nenpòt moun ki kanpe an piblik pou l di li pa rekonèt mwen, m ap kanpe devan Papa m ki nan syèl la pou m di: mwen pa rekonèt li non plis.

Swiv Jezi ka pote anpil pwoblèm

(Lik 12:51-53; 14:26-27)

34 Pa mete nan tèt nou mwen vin pote lapè sou latè. Mwen pa vin pote lapè, mwen pote latwoublay. 35 Mwen vini pou m

mete dozado papa ak pitit gason l,
    manman ak pitit fi l,
    bèlmè ak bèlfi l.
36 Se pwòp fanmi yon nonm ki pral fè l lènmi.[c]

37 Nenpòt moun ki renmen manman l ak papa l plis pase m pa diy pou l vin disip mwen. Nenpòt moun ki renmen pitit gason l oswa pitit fi l plis pase m pa diy pou l vin disip mwen. 38 Nenpòt moun ki pa pare pou l mouri sou lakwa poutèt l ap swiv mwen pa diy pou l se disip mwen. 39 Moun k ap chache konsève lavi l ap gen pou yo pèdi l. Men nenpòt moun ki pèdi lavi l poutèt mwen ap gen pou jwenn vrè lavi a.

Bondye ap beni moun ki byen resevwa w

(Mak 9:41)

40 Nenpòt moun ki resevwa w, se mwen menm yo resevwa. Nenpòt moun ki resevwa m resevwa sila a ki voye m nan. 41 Nenpòt moun ki resevwa yon pwofèt paske l se pwofèt ap resevwa rekonpans yon pwofèt. Nenpòt moun ki resevwa yon moun fidèl paske l fidèl ap resevwa rekonpans yon moun fidèl. 42 Nenpòt moun ki bay youn nan pi piti pami disip mwen yo yon vè dlo frèt, li p ap janm pèdi l.”
