Mateus 10
Portuguese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
A missão dos doze apóstolos
(Mc 3.13-19; 6.7-13; Lc 6.12-16; 9.1-6)
10 Jesus chamou os seus doze discípulos e lhes deu poder tanto para expulsarem demônios como para curarem toda espécie de enfermidade. 2 Estes são os nomes dos doze apóstolos:
Simão, também chamado Pedro,
e André, seu irmão;
os irmãos Tiago e João, filhos de Zebedeu;
3 Filipe;
Bartolomeu;
Tomé;
Mateus, o cobrador de impostos;
Tiago, filho de Alfeu;
Tadeu;
4 Simão, que pertencia ao grupo dos zelotes;[a]
e Judas Iscariotes, que traiu Jesus.
5 Jesus enviou estes doze homens com a seguinte ordem:
—Não entrem em nenhuma cidade cujo povo não seja judeu, nem em nenhuma das cidades dos samaritanos. 6 Ao invés disso, procurem as pessoas da nação de Israel, que são como ovelhas perdidas. 7 Vão e proclamem esta mensagem: “O reino de Deus está próximo!” 8 Curem os leprosos e os outros doentes, ressuscitem os mortos e expulsem os demônios. Vocês receberam este poder de graça, portanto façam tudo isso de graça. 9 Vocês não devem levar nenhum dinheiro, nem ouro, nem prata, nem cobre; 10 e nem sacola de viagem. Também não devem levar nem roupas extras, nem sandálias, nem cajado. Digo isto porque todo trabalhador merece receber o seu alimento.
11 —Quando vocês chegarem a uma cidade ou a uma vila, procurem uma pessoa de confiança e fiquem com ela até a hora de irem embora. 12 Quando vocês entrarem numa casa, cumprimentem as pessoas. 13 Se as pessoas da casa forem dignas, que a paz que vocês desejarem a elas ao cumprimentá-las permaneça sobre elas. Mas se não forem dignas, que a sua paz volte para vocês. 14 Se alguma casa ou alguma cidade se recusar a recebê-los ou a ouvir o que vocês têm para dizer, então saiam de lá. E quando vocês estiverem indo embora, sacudam a poeira das suas sandálias.[b] 15 Digo a verdade a vocês: No Dia do Julgamento haverá mais tolerância para com o povo das cidades de Sodoma e de Gomorra do que para com as pessoas daquela cidade.
Aviso aos discípulos
(Mc 13.9-13; Lc 21.12-17)
16 —Escutem, eu estou enviando vocês como ovelhas para o meio de lobos. Sejam, portanto, espertos como cobras e simples como pombas. 17 Tenham cuidado com as pessoas, pois elas vão levá-los aos tribunais e vão chicoteá-los nas sinagogas deles. 18 Vocês serão levados para serem julgados diante de governadores e de reis por minha causa, e lá vocês terão oportunidade de testemunhar tanto aos judeus como também aos que não são judeus. 19 Quando forem presos, não se preocupem nem com “o que” vocês vão falar nem com “a maneira pela qual” vocês vão falar. Quando chegar a hora certa, lhes será dito o que vocês devem falar. 20 Lembrem-se de que não serão vocês que estarão falando, e sim o Espírito do Pai é que estará falando por intermédio de vocês.
21 —Algumas pessoas entregarão seus próprios irmãos para serem mortos e outras entregarão seus próprios filhos. Filhos se voltarão contra seus pais e os matarão. 22 Vocês serão odiados por todos por causa do meu nome, mas aquele que permanecer firme até o fim será salvo. 23 Quando vocês estiverem sendo perseguidos numa cidade, fujam para outra, pois eu lhes digo que o Filho do Homem voltará antes que vocês consigam percorrer todas as cidades de Israel.
24 —Nenhum discípulo é mais importante do que o seu mestre, nem nenhum escravo é mais importante do que o seu senhor. 25 O discípulo deve ficar satisfeito em ser como o seu mestre e o escravo em ser como o seu senhor. Se até mesmo o chefe da família é chamado de Belzebu[c], o que então não falarão dos membros da família?
Temam a Deus e não aos homens
(Lc 12.2-7)
26 —Não tenham medo daqueles homens, pois não há nada que esteja oculto e que não venha a ser revelado, nem nada que esteja escondido que não seja descoberto. 27 Eu quero que vocês digam à luz do dia o que estou dizendo às escuras e que gritem em voz alta o que estou dizendo em particular. 28 Não tenham medo daqueles que podem matar o corpo, mas não podem matar a alma. Mas antes, tenham medo daquele que pode destruir no inferno tanto a alma como o corpo. 29 Vocês podem comprar dois pardais com pouco dinheiro, mas nem um só deles cai no chão sem a permissão do Pai de vocês. 30 Até mesmo os fios de cabelo das suas cabeças estão contados! 31 Por isso, não tenham medo. Vocês valem muito mais do que muitos pardais.
Afirmar e negar a Cristo
(Lc 12.8-9)
32 Se alguém afirmar publicamente ser meu seguidor, então eu também afirmarei diante de meu Pai que está no céu que tal pessoa é meu seguidor. 33 Mas aquele que me negar publicamente, eu também o negarei diante de meu Pai que está no céu.
Divisões por causa de Jesus
(Lc 12.51-53; 14.26-27)
34 —Não pensem que vim trazer paz ao mundo. Não vim trazer paz, mas sim conflito. 35 Eu vim para fazer com que estas coisas aconteçam:
“O filho ficará contra o seu pai,
a filha ficará contra a sua mãe,
a nora ficará contra a sua sogra
36 e os inimigos de uma pessoa
serão os da sua própria família”.(A)
37 —Quem ama a seu pai ou a sua mãe mais do que a mim, não é digno de mim; e quem ama a seu filho ou a sua filha mais do que a mim, não é digno de mim. 38 Quem não tomar a sua cruz e me seguir, não é digno de mim. 39 Aquele que quiser salvar a sua vida, irá perdê-la; mas aquele que perder sua vida por minha causa, irá salvá-la.
Recompensas por seguir a Cristo
(Mc 9.41)
40 —Quem recebe a vocês, recebe também a mim; e quem me recebe, recebe aquele que me enviou. 41 Quem recebe um profeta pelo fato de ele ser profeta, receberá a recompensa que Deus dá a um profeta. Quem recebe a um homem justo pelo fato de ele ser justo, receberá a recompensa que Deus dá a uma pessoa justa. 42 E lhes digo também isto: Qualquer pessoa que der mesmo que seja um copo de água fria a qualquer um destes pequeninos, que são meus seguidores, por causa do meu nome, sem dúvida que também receberá a sua recompensa.
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(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)

King James Version
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.
2 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;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5 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:
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, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
9 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.
Mateo 10
Ang Pulong Sa Dios
Ang 12 ka Apostoles
(Mar. 3:13-19; Luc. 6:12-16)
10 Gitawag ni Jesus ang iyang 12 ka mga tinun-an ug gihatagan niya sila ug gahom sa paghingilin sa mga daotang espiritu. Gihatagan usab niya sila ug gahom sa pag-ayo sa bisan unsang matang sa sakit. 2 Mao kini ang ngalan sa maong 12 ka mga apostoles: si Simon (nga gitawag ug Pedro nga mao ang una), si Andres nga iyang igsoon, ang duha ka mga anak ni Zebede nga si Santiago ug si Juan, 3 si Felipe, si Bartolomeo, si Tomas ug ang maniningil ug buhis nga si Mateo, si Santiago nga anak ni Alfeo, si Tadeus, 4 si Simon (nga kaniadto rebelde sa gobyerno sa Roma), ug si Judas Iscariote nga mao ang nagluib kang Jesus.
Ang Buluhaton sa 12 ka Apostoles
(Mar. 6:7-13; Luc. 9:1-6)
5 Sa wala pa palakwa ni Jesus ang 12 ka apostoles gimandoan niya sila, “Ayaw kamo pag-adto sa mga dapit sa mga dili Judio o sa mga lungsod sa Samaria, 6 adto hinuon kamo sa mga kaliwat ni Israel. Sama sila sa mga karnero nga nangawala. 7 Ibalita ninyo kanila nga panahon na nga ang Dios maghari sa mga tawo. 8 Ayoha ninyo ang mga masakiton, banhawa ninyo ang mga patay, ayoha ninyo ang mga may ngilngig nga sakit sa panit[a] aron mahimo silang hinlo, ug hinginli ninyo ang daotang mga espiritu. Nakadawat kamo gikan sa Dios nga walay bayad, busa panghatag usab kamo nga walay bayad. 9 Ayaw kamo pagbalon ug kuwarta, 10 bag, ilisan, sandalyas, o baston, kay ang nangalagad angay gayod nga hatagan sa iyang mga kinahanglanon.
11 “Kon mosulod kamo sa usa ka lungsod o sa usa ka baryo, pangita kamo ug tawo nga andam modawat kaninyo. Puyo kamo didto hangtod nga mobiya kamo niana nga dapit. 12 Sa pagsulod ninyo sa balay panalangini ninyo ang nagapuyo didto. 13 Kon kana nga panimalay modawat kaninyo, ibilin ang inyong panalangin kanila; apan kon dili, bakwia ang inyong panalangin kanila. 14 Kon may mga panimalay o lungsod nga dili gayod modawat kaninyo o dili gayod maminaw kaninyo, biyai ninyo sila. Sa pagbiya ninyo, itaktak ang abog sa inyong sandalyas isip pasidaan batok kanila. 15 Sa pagkatinuod, ang silot nga ilang madawat sa adlaw sa paghukom labaw pa kabug-at kaysa silot nga nadawat sa mga taga-Sodoma ug mga taga-Gomora.”
Ang Umaabot nga mga Paglutos
(Mar. 13:9-13; Luc. 12:12-17)
16 “Timan-i ninyo kini! Sama kamo sa mga karnero nga akong gipaadto sa mabangis nga mga mananap. Busa pagmaigmat kamo sama sa mga bitin, ug pagmalumo kamo sama sa mga salampati. 17 Pagbantay kamo kanila, kay dakpon nila kamo ug dad-on ngadto sa mga hukmanan ug latigohon kamo didto sa sulod sa ilang mga sinagoga. 18 Isumbong nila kamo sa mga gobernador ug mga hari tungod sa inyong pagsunod kanako, ug didto makasangyaw kamo sa Maayong Balita kanila ug sa uban pang dili Judio. 19 Kon sukitsukiton na kamo, ayaw kamo kabalaka kon unsa ang inyong itubag, ug kon unsaon ninyo pagtubag. Kay sa higayon nga mahitabo kini, tudloan kamo sa Espiritu Santo kon unsay inyong isulti. 20 Busa ang inyong itubag dili inyo kondili iya sa Espiritu nga gikan sa inyong Amahan. Siya ang mosulti pinaagi kaninyo.
21 “Nianang panahona may mga tawo nga mounay pagtugyan sa ilang igsoon aron patyon. May mga amahan nga mopapatay sa ilang mga anak. Ug may mga anak nga makigbatok sa ilang mga ginikanan, ug mopapatay kanila. 22 Dumtan kamo sa tanan tungod kay kamo akong mga tinun-an. Apan ang magpadayon sa pagsunod kanako hangtod sa kataposan mao ang maluwas. 23 Kon lutoson kamo diha sa usa ka lungsod, pahilayo kamo ug adto sa laing lungsod. Kay sa pagkatinuod, sa dili pa ninyo malibot ang tanang mga lungsod sa Israel, ako nga Anak sa Tawo mobalik na.
24 “Walay estudyante nga labaw sa iyang maestro, ug walay ulipon nga labaw sa iyang agalon. 25 Busa igo na sa estudyante nga mahimong sama sa iyang maestro, ug sa ulipon nga mahimong sama sa iyang agalon. Kon ako nga nangulo kaninyo gitawag nga Satanas,[b] unsa pa kaha kadaotan ang ilang itawag kaninyo nga akong mga tinun-an.”
Ang Angay nga Kahadlokan
(Luc. 12:2-7)
26 “Busa ayaw kamo kahadlok sa mga tawo. Kay walay tinagoan nga dili mabutyag sa kaulahian. 27 Ang mga butang nga kaninyo ko lang gisulti, isulti ninyo sa tanan. Ug ang akong gihunghong kaninyo, isangyaw ninyo sa katawhan. 28 Ayaw kamo kahadlok sa mga tawo nga makapatay sa inyong lawas apan dili makapatay sa inyong kalag. Ang Dios mao ang angay ninyong kahadlokan, tungod kay siya ang makahimo sa paglaglag sa inyong lawas ug kalag didto sa impiyerno. 29 Dili ba barato ra ang mga gagmayng langgam? Apan walay usa kanila nga mahulog sa yuta nga dili sumala sa pagbuot sa inyong Amahan. 30 Ug bahin kaninyo, bisan ang inyong mga buhok inihap na niya ang tanan. 31 Busa ayaw kamo kahadlok, kay mas bililhon pa kamo kaysa mga langgam.”
Ang Pag-ila kang Cristo
(Luc. 12:8-9)
32 “Si bisan kinsa nga moila kanako ingon nga iyang Ginoo atubangan sa katawhan, ilhon ko usab atubangan sa akong Amahan sa langit. 33 Apan si bisan kinsa nga molimod kanako atubangan sa katawhan, ilimod ko usab atubangan sa akong Amahan sa langit.”
Ang Panag-away Diha sa Panimalay Tungod kang Cristo
(Luc. 12:51-53; 14:26-27)
34 “Ayaw kamo paghunahuna nga mianhi ako sa kalibotan aron mahimong maayo ang relasyon sa usag usa. Mianhi ako aron magkagubot sila.[c] 35 Mianhi ako aron makigbatok ang mga anak nga lalaki sa ilang mga amahan, ang mga anak nga babaye sa ilang mga inahan, ug ang mga umagad nga babaye sa ilang mga ugangan nga babaye. 36 Ang mahimong kaaway sa mga tawo mao mismo ang sakop sa ilang kaugalingon nga panimalay.[d]
37 “Apan ang nahigugma sa iyang amahan o sa iyang inahan labaw pa kay kanako dili angay kanako. Ug ang nahigugma sa iyang mga anak labaw pa kay kanako dili angay kanako. 38 Si bisan kinsa nga dili mosunod kanako kay mahadlok mamatay tungod kanako[e] dili angay kanako. 39 Ang magtinguha sa pagtipig sa iyang kinabuhi mawad-an hinuon niini. Apan ang maghalad sa iyang kinabuhi tungod sa iyang pagsunod kanako makadawat sa kinabuhi nga walay kataposan.”

(Mar. 9:41)
40 “Ang modawat kaninyo nagadawat usab kanako. Ug ang nagadawat kanako nagadawat usab sa nagpadala kanako. 41 Ang magadawat sa propeta sa Dios tungod sa pagkapropeta niini makadawat gikan sa Dios ug ganti sama sa madawat sa propeta. Ug ang modawat sa tawong matarong tungod sa pagkamatarong niini makadawat gikan sa Dios ug ganti sama sa madawat sa tawong matarong. 42 Ug si bisan kinsa nga mohatag bisag usa lang ka basong tubig ngadto sa labing ubos nako nga tinun-an tungod kay ako kining tinun-an, kana nga tawo makadawat gayod sa iyang ganti.”
