Ang Labindalawang Alagad(A)

10 Tinipon ni Jesus ang labindalawang alagad at binigyan sila ng kapangyarihang magpalayas ng masasamang espiritu at magpagaling ng lahat ng uri ng sakit at karamdaman. Ito ang mga pangalan ng labindalawang apostol: Una ay si Simon na tinatawag ding Pedro, at si Andres na kanyang kapatid, sina Santiago at Juan na mga anak ni Zebedeo; si Felipe, si Bartolome, si Tomas, si Mateo na maniningil ng buwis, si Santiago na anak ni Alfeo, at si Tadeo, si Simon na Makabayan, at si Judas Iscariote na nagkanulo kay Jesus.

Sinugo ni Jesus ang Labindalawa(B)

Ang labindalawang ito'y isinugo ni Jesus at kanyang pinagbilinan, “Huwag kayong pupunta sa lugar ng mga Hentil, o sa alinmang bayan ng mga Samaritano. Sa halip, hanapin ninyo ang mga nawawalang tupa ng sambahayan ng Israel. Humayo(C) kayo't ipangaral na malapit nang dumating ang kaharian ng langit. Pagalingin ninyo ang mga maysakit at buhayin ang mga patay. Pagalingin at linisin ninyo ang mga may ketong, at palayasin ang mga demonyo. Yamang tumanggap kayo nang walang bayad, magbigay naman kayo nang walang bayad. Huwag kayong magdala ng pera, maging ginto, pilak, o tanso. 10 Sa(D) inyong paglalakbay, huwag din kayong magbaon ng pagkain, bihisan, pampalit na sandalyas, o tungkod, sapagkat ang manggagawa ay karapat-dapat na tumanggap ng mga bagay na kanyang ikabubuhay.

11 “Saanmang bayan o nayon kayo dumating, humanap kayo ng taong karapat-dapat pakituluyan at kayo ay tumuloy sa bahay niya habang kayo'y nasa lugar na iyon. 12 Pagpasok ninyo sa bahay, sabihin ninyo, ‘Maghari nawa ang kapayapaan sa bahay na ito!’ 13 Kung karapat-dapat ang mga nakatira doon, panatilihin ninyo sa kanila ang inyong pagpapala. Ngunit kung hindi, bawiin ninyo iyon. 14 At(E) kung ayaw kayong tanggapin o pakinggan sa isang tahanan o bayan, umalis kayo roon at ipagpag ninyo ang alikabok sa inyong mga paa. 15 Tandaan(F) ninyo: sa Araw ng Paghuhukom ay higit na mabigat ang parusang igagawad sa mga mamamayan ng bayang iyon kaysa sa parusang dinanas ng mga taga-Sodoma at taga-Gomorra.”

Mga Pag-uusig na Darating(G)

16 “Tingnan(H) ninyo; isinusugo ko kayo na parang mga tupa sa gitna ng mga asong-gubat. Kaya't maging matalino kayong gaya ng ahas at maamo na gaya ng kalapati. 17 Mag-ingat(I) kayo sapagkat kayo'y dadakpin at isasakdal sa mga Kataas-taasang Kapulungan ng mga Judio, hahagupitin kayo sa kanilang mga sinagoga. 18 Dadalhin kayo sa mga gobernador at mga hari nang dahil sa pagsunod ninyo sa akin, upang magpatotoo sa kanila at sa mga Hentil. 19 Kapag iniharap na kayo sa hukuman, huwag kayong mabahala kung ano ang inyong sasabihin, o kung paano kayo magsasalita sapagkat ipagkakaloob sa inyo sa oras na iyon ang inyong sasabihin. 20 Hindi kayo ang magsasalita, kundi ang Espiritu ng inyong Ama ang magsasalita sa pamamagitan ninyo.

21 “Ipagkakanulo(J) ng kapatid ang kanyang sariling kapatid upang ipapatay, gayundin ang gagawin ng ama sa kanyang anak; at lalabanan ng mga anak ang kanilang mga magulang at ipapapatay ang mga ito. 22 Kapopootan(K) kayo ng lahat dahil sa pagsunod sa akin, ngunit ang mananatiling tapat hanggang wakas ang siyang maliligtas. 23 Kapag inusig kayo sa isang bayan, tumakas kayo sa kasunod. Tandaan ninyo: bago ninyo mapuntahan ang lahat ng bayan ng Israel, darating na ang Anak ng Tao.

24 “Walang(L) alagad na nakakahigit sa kanyang guro at walang aliping nakakahigit sa kanyang panginoon. 25 Sapat(M) nang matulad ang alagad sa kanyang guro, at ang alipin sa kanyang panginoon. Kung ang ama ng sambahayan ay tinawag nilang Beelzebul, lalo nang lalaitin nila ang kanyang mga kasambahay.”

Ang Dapat Katakutan(N)

26 “Kaya(O) huwag kayong matakot sa kanila. Walang natatago na di malalantad at walang nalilihim na di mabubunyag. 27 Ang sinasabi ko sa inyo sa dilim ay ulitin ninyo sa liwanag; at ang ibinubulong sa inyo ay inyong ipagsigawan sa lansangan.[a] 28 Huwag ninyong katakutan ang pumapatay ng katawan ngunit hindi naman nakakapatay ng kaluluwa. Sa halip, ang katakutan ninyo ay ang Diyos na may kakayahang pumuksa ng katawan at kaluluwa sa impiyerno. 29 Hindi ba't ipinagbibili sa halaga ng isang salaping tanso ang dalawang maya? Gayunman, kahit isa sa kanila'y hindi nahuhulog sa lupa kung hindi kalooban ng inyong Ama. 30 At kayo, maging ang buhok ninyo'y bilang niyang lahat. 31 Kaya, huwag kayong matakot; higit kayong mahalaga kaysa maraming maya.”

Pagpapatotoo kay Cristo(P)

32 “Ang sinumang kumilala sa akin sa harapan ng mga tao ay kikilalanin ko rin naman sa harapan ng aking Amang nasa langit. 33 Ngunit(Q) ang sinumang ikaila ako sa harap ng mga tao ay ikakaila ko rin sa harap ng aking Amang nasa langit.”

Hindi Kapayapaan Kundi Tabak(R)

34 “Huwag ninyong isiping naparito ako upang magdala ng kapayapaan sa lupa; naparito ako upang magdala ng tabak, hindi kapayapaan. 35 Naparito(S) ako upang paglabanin ang anak na 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 isang tao ay kanya na rin mismong mga kasambahay.

37 “Ang umiibig sa kanyang ama o ina nang higit sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. Ang umiibig sa kanyang anak nang higit sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. 38 Ang(T) hindi nagpapasan ng kanyang krus at hindi sumusunod sa akin ay hindi karapat-dapat sa akin. 39 Ang(U) nagsisikap magligtas ng kanyang buhay ay mawawalan nito; ngunit ang mawalan ng kanyang buhay alang-alang sa akin ay magkakamit nito.”

Mga Gantimpala(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 dahil sa ito'y propeta ay tatanggap ng gantimpalang nauukol sa propeta; at ang tumatanggap sa isang taong matuwid dahil sa ito'y matuwid ay tatanggap ng gantimpalang nauukol sa taong matuwid. 42 Tandaan ninyo: sinumang magbigay ng kahit isang basong malamig na tubig sa isa sa mga maliliit na ito dahil sa siya'y alagad ko, siya'y tiyak na tatanggap ng gantimpala.”

Jesus Sends Out His Apostles

10 Jesus called his twelve followers together and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: Simon (also called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who turned against Jesus.

Jesus sent out these twelve men with the following order: “Don’t go to the non-Jewish people or to any town where the Samaritans live. But go to the people of Israel, who are like lost sheep. When you go, preach this: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead to life again, heal those who have skin diseases, and force demons out of people. I give you these powers freely, so help other people freely. Don’t carry any money with you—gold or silver or copper. 10 Don’t carry a bag or extra clothes or sandals or a walking stick. Workers should be given what they need.

11 “When you enter a city or town, find some worthy person there and stay in that home until you leave. 12 When you enter that home, say, ‘Peace be with you.’ 13 If the people there welcome you, let your peace stay there. But if they don’t welcome you, take back the peace you wished for them. 14 And if a home or town refuses to welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake its dust off your feet.[a] 15 I tell you the truth, on the Judgment Day it will be better for the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah[b] than for the people of that town.

Jesus Warns His Apostles

16 “Listen, I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as clever as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17 Be careful of people, because they will arrest you and take you to court and whip you in their synagogues. 18 Because of me you will be taken to stand before governors and kings, and you will tell them and the non-Jewish people about me. 19 When you are arrested, don’t worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given the things to say. 20 It will not really be you speaking but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

21 “Brothers will give their own brothers to be killed, and fathers will give their own children to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and have them put to death. 22 All people will hate you because you follow me, but those people who keep their faith until the end will be saved. 23 When you are treated badly in one city, run to another city. I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 “A student is not better than his teacher, and a servant is not better than his master. 25 A student should be satisfied to become like his teacher; a servant should be satisfied to become like his master. If the head of the family is called Beelzebul, then the other members of the family will be called worse names!

Fear God, Not People

26 “So don’t be afraid of those people, because everything that is hidden will be shown. Everything that is secret will be made known. 27 I tell you these things in the dark, but I want you to tell them in the light. What you hear whispered in your ear you should shout from the housetops. 28 Don’t be afraid of people, who can kill the body but cannot kill the soul. The only one you should fear is the one who can destroy the soul and the body in hell. 29 Two sparrows cost only a penny, but not even one of them can die without your Father’s knowing it. 30 God even knows how many hairs are on your head. 31 So don’t be afraid. You are worth much more than many sparrows.

Tell People About Your Faith

32 “All those who stand before others and say they believe in me, I will say before my Father in heaven that they belong to me. 33 But all who stand before others and say they do not believe in me, I will say before my Father in heaven that they do not belong to me.

34 “Don’t think that I came to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 I have come so that

‘a son will be against his father,
    a daughter will be against her mother,
a daughter-in-law will be against her mother-in-law.
36 A person’s enemies will be members of his own family.’ Micah 7:6

37 “Those who love their father or mother more than they love me are not worthy to be my followers. Those who love their son or daughter more than they love me are not worthy to be my followers. 38 Whoever is not willing to carry the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Those who try to hold on to their lives will give up true life. Those who give up their lives for me will hold on to true life. 40 Whoever accepts you also accepts me, and whoever accepts me also accepts the One who sent me. 41 Whoever meets a prophet and accepts him will receive the reward of a prophet. And whoever accepts a good person because that person is good will receive the reward of a good person. 42 Those who give one of these little ones a cup of cold water because they are my followers will truly get their reward.”

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.

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)

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; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.(H)

These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.(I) Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.(J) As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven(K) has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

“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)
