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.”

New Russian Translation
Поручение двенадцати ученикам(A)
10 Созвав двенадцать Своих учеников, Иисус дал им власть изгонять нечистых духов и исцелять все болезни и недуги. 2 Вот имена двенадцати апостолов: Симон, прозванный Петром, и его брат Андрей, Иаков, сын Зеведея и его брат Иоанн, 3 Филипп и Варфоломей, Фома и сборщик налогов Матфей, Иаков, сын Алфея, и Фаддей, 4 Симон Кананит[a] и Иуда Искариот[b] (который впоследствии и предал Его).
Иисус посылает двенадцать учеников на служение(B)
5 Этих двенадцать Иисус послал, дав такие повеления:
– Не ходите к язычникам и не заходите ни в какой из самарянских городов. 6 Идите прежде всего к погибшим овцам Израиля. 7 Идите и возвещайте: «Царство Небесное уже близко!» 8 Исцеляйте больных, воскрешайте мертвых, очищайте прокаженных, изгоняйте демонов. Вы получили даром, даром и давайте. 9 Не берите с собой в поясах ни золота, ни серебра, ни меди, 10 ни сумки в дорогу, ни запасной одежды, ни сандалий, ни посоха, потому что работник заслуживает пропитания.
11 В какой бы город или селение вы ни зашли, найдите там достойного человека и остановитесь у него до тех пор, пока не отправитесь дальше. 12 Когда входите в дом, пожелайте мира всем, кто в нем. 13 Если дом окажется достоин, то ваше благословение будет на нем, если же нет, то ваше благословение с ним не останется. 14 А если кто вас не примет или не станет слушать ваших слов, то отряхните пыль с ваших ног, уходя из этого дома или города. 15 Говорю вам истину: Содому и Гоморре[c] будет легче в День Суда, чем этому городу.
Иисус готовит Своих учеников к преследованиям(C)
16 Вот, Я посылаю вас, как овец в волчью стаю. Поэтому будьте мудры, как змеи, и невинны, как голуби. 17 Остерегайтесь людей, они будут отдавать вас под суд и избивать вас в своих синагогах. 18 Из-за Меня вас поведут к правителям и царям, и вы будете свидетельствовать им и язычникам. 19 Когда же вас приведут на суд, не беспокойтесь о том, как или что вам говорить. В тот час вам будет дано, что сказать, 20 и уже не вы будете говорить, а Дух вашего Отца будет говорить в вас.
21 Брат предаст брата, а отец – своего ребенка, тем самым обрекая их на верную смерть. Так же будут поступать и дети: восставать против родителей и предавать их. 22 Все вас будут ненавидеть из-за Меня, но тот, кто выстоит до конца, будет спасен. 23 Когда вас будут преследовать в одном городе, бегите в другой. Говорю вам истину: вы не успеете обойти всех израильских городов, как придет Сын Человеческий.
24 Ученик не выше своего учителя, и слуга не выше господина. 25 Пусть ученик будет доволен, если достигнет положения своего учителя, и слуга – положения своего господина. Если хозяина дома называют Веельзевулом, то тем более домашних его.
Имейте страх только перед Богом(D)
26 Итак, не бойтесь их. Нет ничего скрытого, что не открылось бы, и нет ничего тайного, что не стало бы известным. 27 Что Я говорю вам во тьме, говорите при свете дня, и что вам сказано шепотом на ухо, провозглашайте с крыш! 28 Не бойтесь тех, кто убивает тело, а душу убить не может. Бойтесь скорее Того, Кто может бросить в ад на погибель и душу, и тело. 29 Не продают ли пару воробьев всего за одну медную монету?[d] Однако ни один из них не упадет на землю без воли вашего Небесного Отца. 30 А у вас даже и волосы на голове все сосчитаны! 31 Поэтому не бойтесь – вы дороже множества воробьев!
Исповедание Христа
32 Каждого, кто открыто признает Меня перед людьми, того и Я признаю перед Моим Небесным Отцом, 33 а кто отречется от Меня перед людьми, от того и Я отрекусь перед Моим Небесным Отцом.
Иисус предупреждает о грядущих разделениях(E)
34 Не думайте, что Я пришел принести на землю мир. Я пришел, чтобы принести не мир, а меч. 35 Я пришел
«разделить сына с отцом,
дочь с матерью,
невестку со свекровью,
36 и врагами человеку станут его домашние»[e].
37 Кто любит своего отца или мать больше, чем Меня, тот недостоин Меня, и кто любит сына или дочь больше, чем Меня, тот недостоин Меня, 38 и кто не возьмет крест свой и не последует за Мной, тот не достоин Меня. 39 Кто сбережет жизнь[f], тот потеряет ее, и кто потеряет жизнь ради Меня, тот обретет ее вновь.
Награда(F)
40 Кто принимает вас, принимает Меня, и кто принимает Меня, принимает Пославшего Меня. 41 Кто примет пророка потому, что он пророк, тот получит награду пророка, и кто примет праведника потому, что он праведник, получит награду праведника. 42 И если кто-либо напоит одного из самых меньших чашей холодной воды, только потому что он Мой ученик, то, говорю вам истину, он не останется без награды.

Matthew 10
English Standard Version
The Twelve Apostles
10 (A)And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. 2 (B)The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, (C)who is called Peter, and (D)Andrew his brother; (E)James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and (F)Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;[a] 4 Simon the Zealot,[b] and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
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.”
