Mateo 10
Nueva Versión Internacional (Castilian)
Jesús envía a los doce(A)(B)(C)(D)(E)
10 Reunió a sus doce discípulos y les dio autoridad para expulsar a los espíritus malignos y sanar toda enfermedad y toda dolencia.
2 Estos son los nombres de los doce apóstoles: primero Simón, llamado Pedro, y su hermano Andrés; Jacobo y su hermano Juan, hijos de Zebedeo; 3 Felipe y Bartolomé; Tomás y Mateo, el recaudador de impuestos; Jacobo, hijo de Alfeo, y Tadeo; 4 Simón el Zelote y Judas Iscariote, el que lo traicionó.
5 Jesús envió a estos doce con las siguientes instrucciones: «No vayáis entre los gentiles ni entréis en ningún pueblo de los samaritanos. 6 Id más bien a las ovejas descarriadas del pueblo de Israel. 7 Dondequiera que vayáis, predicad este mensaje: “El reino de los cielos está cerca”. 8 Sanad a los enfermos, resucitad a los muertos, limpiad de su enfermedad a los que tienen lepra, expulsad a los demonios. Lo que habéis recibido gratis, dadlo gratuitamente. 9 No llevéis oro ni plata ni cobre en el cinturón, 10 ni bolsa para el camino, ni dos mudas de ropa, ni sandalias, ni bastón; porque el trabajador merece que se le dé su sustento.
11 »En cualquier pueblo o aldea donde entréis, buscad a alguien que merezca recibiros y quedaos en su casa hasta que os marchéis de ese lugar. 12 Al entrar, decid: “Paz a esta casa”.[a] 13 Si el hogar se lo merece, que vuestra paz reine en él; y, si no, que la paz se vaya con vosotros. 14 Si alguno no os recibe bien ni escucha vuestras palabras, al salir de esa casa o de ese pueblo, sacudíos el polvo de los pies. 15 Os aseguro que en el día del juicio el castigo para Sodoma y Gomorra será más tolerable que para ese pueblo. 16 Os envío como ovejas en medio de lobos. Por tanto, sed astutos como serpientes y sencillos como palomas.
17 »Tened cuidado con la gente; os entregarán a los tribunales y os azotarán en las sinagogas. 18 Por mi causa os llevarán ante gobernadores y reyes para dar testimonio a ellos y a los gentiles. 19 Pero, cuando os arresten, no os preocupéis por lo que vais a decir o cómo vais a decirlo. En ese momento se os dará lo que habéis de decir, 20 porque no seréis vosotros los que habléis, sino que el Espíritu de vuestro Padre hablará por medio de vosotros.
21 »El hermano entregará a la muerte al hermano, y el padre al hijo. Los hijos se rebelarán contra sus padres y harán que los maten. 22 Por causa de mi nombre, todo el mundo os odiará, pero el que se mantenga firme hasta el fin será salvo. 23 Cuando os persigan en una ciudad, huid a otra. Os aseguro que no terminaréis de recorrer las ciudades de Israel antes de que venga el Hijo del hombre.
24 »El discípulo no es superior a su maestro, ni el siervo superior a su amo. 25 Basta con que el discípulo sea como su maestro, y el siervo como su amo. Si al jefe de la casa lo han llamado Beelzebú, ¡cuánto más a los de su familia!
26 »Así que no les tengáis miedo; porque no hay nada encubierto que no llegue a revelarse, ni nada escondido que no llegue a conocerse. 27 Lo que os digo en la oscuridad, decidlo a plena luz; lo que se os susurra al oído, proclamadlo desde las azoteas. 28 No temáis a los que matan el cuerpo, pero no pueden matar el alma.[b] Temed más bien al que puede destruir alma y cuerpo en el infierno.[c] 29 ¿No se venden dos gorriones por una monedita?[d] Sin embargo, ni uno de ellos caerá a tierra sin que lo permita el Padre; 30 y él tiene contados aun los cabellos de vuestra cabeza. 31 Así que no tengáis miedo; vosotros valéis más que muchos gorriones.
32 »A cualquiera que me reconozca delante de los demás, yo también lo reconoceré delante de mi Padre que está en el cielo. 33 Pero a cualquiera que me desconozca delante de los demás, yo también lo desconoceré delante de mi Padre que está en el cielo.
34 »No creáis que he venido a traer paz a la tierra. No vine a traer paz, sino espada. 35 Porque he venido a poner en conflicto
»“al hombre contra su padre,
a la hija contra su madre,
a la nuera contra su suegra;
36 los enemigos de cada cual
serán los de su propia familia”.[e]
37 »El que quiere a su padre o a su madre más que a mí no es digno de mí; el que quiere a su hijo o a su hija más que a mí no es digno de mí; 38 y el que no toma su cruz y me sigue no es digno de mí. 39 El que se aferre a su propia vida la perderá, y el que renuncie a[f] su propia vida por mi causa la encontrará.
40 »Quien os recibe a vosotros me recibe a mí; y quien me recibe a mí recibe al que me envió. 41 Cualquiera que recibe a un profeta por tratarse de un profeta recibirá recompensa de profeta; y el que recibe a un justo por tratarse de un justo recibirá recompensa de justo. 42 Y quien dé siquiera un vaso de agua fresca a uno de estos pequeños por tratarse de uno de mis discípulos, os aseguro que no perderá su recompensa».
Matthew 10
Lexham English Bible
The Twelve Commissioned and Sent Out
10 And summoning his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could expel them[a] and could heal every[b] disease and every[c] sickness. 2 Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James[d] 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 Zealot,[e] and Judas Iscariot—the one who also betrayed him.
5 Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them saying, “Do not go on the road to the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans, 6 but go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you[f] are going, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near!’ 8 Heal those who are sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, expel demons. Freely you have received; freely give. 9 Do not procure gold or silver or copper for your belts. 10 Do not take a traveler’s bag for the road, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff, for the worker is deserving of his provisions. 11 And into whatever town or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you depart. 12 And when you[g] enter into the house, greet it. 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 welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you[h] are going out of that house or that[i] town. 15 Truly I say to you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
Persecution of Disciples Predicted
16 “Behold, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 But beware of people, because they will hand you over to councils, and they will flog you in their synagogues. 18 And you will be brought before both governors and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But whenever they hand you over, do not be anxious how to speak[j] or what you should say, for what you should say will be given to you at that hour. 20 For you are not the ones who are speaking, but the Spirit of your Father who is speaking through you.
21 “And brother will hand over brother to death, and a father his children, and children will rise up against parents and have them put to death, 22 and you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end—this one will be saved. 23 And whenever they persecute you in this town, flee to another, for truly I say to you, you will never finish going through the towns of Israel until the Son of Man comes.
24 “A disciple is not superior to his teacher, nor a slave superior to his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household?
Fear God Rather Than People
26 “Therefore do not be afraid of them, because nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing secret that will not become known. 27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what you hear in your ear, proclaim on the housetops. 28 And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul, but instead be afraid of the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?[k] And one of them will not fall to the ground without the knowledge and consent[l] of your Father. 30 And even the hairs of your head are all numbered! 31 Therefore do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32 “Therefore everyone who acknowledges me before people, I also will acknowledge him before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whoever denies me before people, I also will deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
Not Peace, But a Sword of Divisiveness
34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on the earth! I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And the enemies of a man will be the members of his household.[m] 37 The one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and the one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 The one who finds his life will lose it, and the one who loses his life because of me will find it.
On Rewards
40 “The one who receives you receives me, and the one who receives me receives the one who sent me. 41 The one who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will never lose his reward.”

- Matthew 10:4 Literally “the Cananean,” but according to BDAG 507 s.v., this term has no relation at all to the geographical terms for Cana or Canaan, but is derived from the Aramaic term for “enthusiast, zealot” (see Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13)
- Matthew 10:7 Here “as” is supplied as a component of the participle (“are going”) which is understood as temporal

- Matthew 10:14 Here “as” is supplied as a component of the participle (“are going”) which is understood as temporal
- Matthew 10:14 A repetition of “that” is supplied in English; the single Greek term is understood to modify both “house” and “town”
- Matthew 10:19 Here “to speak” has been supplied for stylistic reasons, since “how to speak” is more natural in English than “how to say”; in Greek the same verb works with both expressions (“how or what you should say”) and also occurs again at the end of the verse
