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.”

10 Ac wedi galw ei ddeuddeg disgybl ato, efe a roddes iddynt awdurdod yn erbyn ysbrydion aflan, i’w bwrw hwynt allan, ac i iacháu pob clefyd a phob afiechyd. 2 Ac enwau’r deuddeg apostolion yw’r rhai hyn: Y cyntaf, Simon, yr hwn a elwir Pedr, ac Andreas ei frawd; Iago mab Sebedeus, ac Ioan ei frawd; 3 Philip, a Bartholomeus; Thomas, a Mathew y publican; Iago mab Alffeus, a Lebeus, yr hwn a gyfenwid Thadeus; 4 Simon y Canaanead, a Jwdas Iscariot, yr hwn hefyd a’i bradychodd ef. 5 Y deuddeg hyn a anfonodd yr Iesu, ac a orchmynnodd iddynt, gan ddywedyd, Nac ewch i ffordd y Cenhedloedd, ac i ddinas y Samariaid nac ewch i mewn: 6 Eithr ewch yn hytrach at gyfrgolledig ddefaid tŷ Israel. 7 Ac wrth fyned, pregethwch, gan ddywedyd, Fod teyrnas nefoedd yn nesáu. 8 Iachewch y cleifion, glanhewch y rhai gwahanglwyfus, cyfodwch y meirw, bwriwch allan gythreuliaid: derbyniasoch yn rhad, rhoddwch yn rhad. 9 Na feddwch aur, nac arian, nac efydd i’ch pyrsau; 10 Nac ysgrepan i’r daith, na dwy bais, nac esgidiau, na ffon: canys teilwng i’r gweithiwr ei fwyd. 11 Ac i ba ddinas bynnag neu dref yr eloch, ymofynnwch pwy sydd deilwng ynddi; ac yno trigwch hyd onid eloch ymaith. 12 A phan ddeloch i dŷ, cyferchwch well iddo. 13 Ac os bydd y tŷ yn deilwng, deued eich tangnefedd arno: ac oni bydd yn deilwng, dychweled eich tangnefedd atoch. 14 A phwy bynnag ni’ch derbynio chwi, ac ni wrandawo eich geiriau, pan ymadawoch o’r tŷ hwnnw, neu o’r ddinas honno, ysgydwch y llwch oddi wrth eich traed. 15 Yn wir meddaf i chwi, Esmwythach fydd i dir y Sodomiaid a’r Gomoriaid yn nydd y farn, nag i’r ddinas honno.
16 Wele, yr ydwyf fi yn eich danfon fel defaid yng nghanol bleiddiaid; byddwch chwithau gall fel y seirff, a diniwed fel y colomennod. 17 Eithr ymogelwch rhag dynion; canys hwy a’ch rhoddant chwi i fyny i’r cynghorau, ac a’ch ffrewyllant chwi yn eu synagogau. 18 A chwi a ddygir at lywiawdwyr a brenhinoedd o’m hachos i, er tystiolaeth iddynt hwy ac i’r Cenhedloedd. 19 Eithr pan y’ch rhoddant chwi i fyny, na ofelwch pa fodd neu pa beth a lefaroch: canys rhoddir i chwi yn yr awr honno pa beth a lefaroch. 20 Canys nid chwychwi yw’r rhai sydd yn llefaru, ond Ysbryd eich Tad yr hwn sydd yn llefaru ynoch. 21 A brawd a rydd frawd i fyny i farwolaeth, a thad ei blentyn: a phlant a godant i fyny yn erbyn eu rhieni, ac a barant eu marwolaeth hwynt. 22 A chas fyddwch gan bawb er mwyn fy enw i: ond yr hwn a barhao hyd y diwedd, efe fydd cadwedig. 23 A phan y’ch erlidiant yn y ddinas hon, ffowch i un arall: canys yn wir y dywedaf wrthych, Na orffennwch ddinasoedd Israel, nes dyfod Mab y dyn. 24 Nid yw’r disgybl yn uwch na’i athro, na’r gwas yn uwch na’i arglwydd. 25 Digon i’r disgybl fod fel ei athro, a’r gwas fel ei arglwydd. Os galwasant berchen y tŷ yn Beelsebub, pa faint mwy ei dylwyth ef? 26 Am hynny nac ofnwch hwynt: oblegid nid oes dim cuddiedig, a’r nas datguddir; na dirgel, a’r nas gwybyddir. 27 Yr hyn yr ydwyf yn ei ddywedyd wrthych chwi yn y tywyllwch, dywedwch yn y goleuni: a’r hyn a glywch yn y glust, pregethwch ar bennau’r tai. 28 Ac nac ofnwch rhag y rhai a laddant y corff, ac ni allant ladd yr enaid; eithr yn hytrach ofnwch yr hwn a ddichon ddistrywio enaid a chorff yn uffern. 29 Oni werthir dau aderyn y to er ffyrling? ac ni syrth un ohonynt ar y ddaear heb eich Tad chwi. 30 Ac y mae, ie, holl wallt eich pen wedi eu cyfrif. 31 Nac ofnwch gan hynny: chwi a delwch fwy na llawer o adar y to. 32 Pwy bynnag gan hynny a’m cyffeso i yng ngŵydd dynion, minnau a’i cyffesaf yntau yng ngŵydd fy Nhad yr hwn sydd yn y nefoedd: 33 A phwy bynnag a’m gwado i yng ngŵydd dynion, minnau a’i gwadaf yntau yng ngŵydd fy Nhad yr hwn sydd yn y nefoedd. 34 Na thybygwch fy nyfod i ddanfon tangnefedd ar y ddaear: ni ddeuthum i ddanfon tangnefedd, ond cleddyf. 35 Canys mi a ddeuthum i osod dyn i ymrafaelio yn erbyn ei dad, a’r ferch yn erbyn ei mam, a’r waudd yn erbyn ei chwegr. 36 A gelynion dyn fydd tylwyth ei dŷ ei hun. 37 Yr hwn sydd yn caru tad neu fam yn fwy na myfi, nid yw deilwng ohonof fi: a’r neb sydd yn caru mab neu ferch yn fwy na myfi, nid yw deilwng ohonof fi. 38 A’r hwn nid yw yn cymryd ei groes, ac yn canlyn ar fy ôl i, nid yw deilwng ohonof fi. 39 Y neb sydd yn cael ei einioes, a’i cyll: a’r neb a gollo ei einioes o’m plegid i, a’i caiff hi.
40 Y neb sydd yn eich derbyn chwi, sydd yn fy nerbyn i; a’r neb sydd yn fy nerbyn i, sydd yn derbyn yr hwn a’m danfonodd i. 41 Y neb sydd yn derbyn proffwyd yn enw proffwyd, a dderbyn wobr proffwyd; a’r neb sydd yn derbyn un cyfiawn yn enw un cyfiawn, a dderbyn wobr un cyfiawn. 42 A phwy bynnag a roddo i’w yfed i un o’r rhai bychain hyn ffiolaid o ddwfr oer yn unig yn enw disgybl, yn wir meddaf i chwi, Ni chyll efe ei wobr.
