Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣治愈麻风病人
8 耶稣下山时，身后跟着一大群人。 2 一个麻风病人来见耶稣，跪在他面前说∶“先生，如果您愿意，您就能治好我的麻疯病！” 3 耶稣伸出手摸着他说∶“我愿意，痊愈吧！”立刻，麻疯病人就痊愈了。 4 耶稣对他说∶“不要把这事告诉任何人，但是，你要到祭司那里去让他查看，还要献上礼物，即摩西命令被治愈人所献的礼物，向每个人表明你已痊愈了。” [a]
耶稣治愈军官的仆人
5 耶稣到迦百农去了，当他进城时，一个罗马军官来见他，请求他的帮助。 6 罗马军官说∶“主啊，我的仆人病重卧床不起。他瘫痪了，非常痛苦。” 7 耶稣对他说∶“我这就去给他治病。”
8 罗马军官说∶“主啊，我不配请您进我家。您只要吩咐一声，我的仆人就会得到治愈的。 9 我知道您做得到，因为我上有长官，下有士兵。如果我叫一个士兵∶‘走开！’他就乖乖地走开；如果我命令另一个∶‘过来！’他就会乖乖地过来。要是我对仆人说∶‘你去干这个’，他就得去干。”
10 耶稣听到这些话，非常惊讶，对他身边的人说∶“说实话，甚至在以色列 [b]，我还没有见到过比他更有信仰的人。 11 我告诉你们，还有很多这样的人会从东方和西方到这里来，他们会在天国的宴席上，与亚伯拉罕，以撒和雅各 [c]一起进餐。 12 而那些本来是天国的继承人，却反而要被驱逐到外边的黑暗里去，他们将在那里咬牙切齿地痛哭。”
13 耶稣对罗马军官说∶“你回家吧，你将如愿以偿。”与此同时，军官的仆人立刻被治愈了。
耶稣治愈许多病人
14 当耶稣来到彼得家里时，看到彼得的岳母发高烧，躺在床上。 15 耶稣一碰她的手，烧就退了，于是她便起来开始招待耶稣。
16 那天晚上，人们带着许多被鬼附体的人来见耶稣，耶稣只用一句话就赶走了所有的鬼。他还治好了所有的病人。 17 这就应验了先知以赛亚的预言：
“他解除了我们的疾病，
他承担了我们的病患。” (A)
跟随耶稣
18 耶稣看见身边围着许多人，就吩咐他们到湖对岸去。 19 一位律法师走过来，对耶稣说∶“老师，无论您走到哪里，我都跟随着您。” 20 耶稣对他说∶“狐狸有穴，飞鸟有巢，可 是人子连枕头的地方都没有。” [d] 21 有一个门徒对耶稣说∶“主，我会跟随你， 但是，请先让我回去埋葬我的父亲。” 22 但是，耶稣对他说∶“跟我走，让死人去埋葬他们自己的死人吧。”
门徒目睹耶稣的力量
23 耶稣登上一条船，门徒们与他同行。 24 船离开岸后，湖面上狂风大作，波浪淹没了甲板。这时耶稣却在睡觉 25 门徒们过去把他叫醒， 说∶“主，救救我们吧！我们就要被淹死了。”
26 耶稣对他们说∶“你们为什么害怕呢？你们的信仰不够强。”于是，耶稣站起身来喝斥狂风和湖水，风便停了，湖面也变得非常平静。
27 人们惊叹不已，说∶“他是什么人？连风和水浪都服从他。”
耶稣从两人身上驱鬼
28 耶稣到达湖对岸加大拉 [e]人居住的地区。他遇见两个从墓穴里出来的人，他们被鬼附体，非常凶恶，没人能从他们坟边的那条路上经过。 29 他们对耶稣喊叫∶“您要怎样处置我们呢，上帝之子？在约定的时刻到来之前，你就要惩罚我们吗？”
30 这时，远处有一大群猪在吃食。 31 鬼乞求耶稣说∶“如果你要把我们从这两个人身上赶走，就把我们派到猪群里去吧。”
32 耶稣对他们说∶“你们去吧。”鬼就离开那两个人，钻到猪身上去了。于是，整个猪群狂奔下山崖，掉进湖里淹死了。 33 放猪的人跑到了城里，把所发生的事情一五一十地告诉给人们，特别是关于被鬼附体的那些人遇到的事情。 34 人们倾城而出来见耶稣。他们见到耶稣后，就央求他离开此地。
耶稣治愈瘫痪病人
9 耶稣登船过湖，回到自己的城里。 2 一些人抬着一个躺在垫子上的瘫痪病人来见他。耶稣看到他们有如此强的信仰，便对瘫痪病人说∶“鼓起勇气，年轻人，你的罪孽被宽恕了。”
3 一些律法师听到这些话后，窃窃私语道∶“这个人在说冒犯上帝的话。”
4 耶稣看出他们的心思，便对他们说∶“为什么你们要心怀邪念呢？ 5 两者相比，哪个更容易呢？ 是对这人说‘你的罪被宽恕了，’容易，还是说‘站起来，迈步走，’容易呢？ 6 我要向你们证明，人子在世间有宽恕罪孽的权力。”然后他对瘫痪病人说∶“起来，拿上你的铺盖，走回家去吧。”
7 病人果真站了起来，走回家去了。 8 众人看到这一切，都很惊讶。他们都赞美上帝赋予了人如此的权力。
马太跟随耶稣
9 耶稣离开那里时，看见一个名叫马太的人坐在收税的地方，便对他说∶“跟随我。”马太便起身跟随了耶稣。
10 耶稣在马太家里吃饭时，有许多税吏和名声不好的人都来与他和门徒们一起吃饭。 11 法利赛人看见了，就问耶稣的门徒∶“为什么你们的老师与税吏和罪人一起吃饭呢？”
12 耶稣听见了，便对他们说∶“健康人不需要医生，需要医生的是那些有病的人。 13 你们去好好领会一下这段《经》文的含义吧∶‘我需要的是人与人之间的仁慈，而不是祭物。我不是来召唤正直人的，而是来召唤罪人的。’” [f]
耶稣与其宗教领导人不同
14 约翰的门徒来问耶稣∶“我们和法利赛人经常禁食，为什么您的门徒却不禁食？”
15 耶稣回答说∶“在婚礼上，当新郎和朋友在一起时，他的朋友们不悲伤，此时，他们也不可能禁食。但是，新郎迟早要离开他们的，那时他们会感到悲伤而禁食。
16 “没有人会用一块没有缩过水的新布去补旧衣服，因为补钉一缩水，会把破洞扯得更大了， 17 也没有人会把新酒装进旧酒囊里，否则，酒囊就会被撑破，结果酒也漏掉了，酒囊也毁了。相反，如果把新酒装进新酒囊，这两样东西都能保全。”
救活已死的女孩并治愈病妇
18 耶稣正在向他们说这番话时，一位犹太会堂的管事走过来跪在他面前说∶“我女儿刚死，但是，如果你去把手按在她身上，她一定会活过来的。”
19 耶稣和门徒们便跟随管事到他家去了。 20 有个患血漏病十二年的女子来到耶稣身后，摸了摸他的袍边。 21 她不停地思忖着∶“我只要摸一摸他的袍子，我就会痊愈。”
22 耶稣转过身来，看见她，就说∶“鼓起勇气，亲爱的女子，你的信仰治愈了你。”这个女子的病立刻就好了。
23 耶稣来到会堂管事家里，看见吹鼓手奏着哀乐，众人正在嚎啕大哭。 24 耶稣说∶“都走开。这女孩没有死，她只是睡着了。”但是人们都嘲笑他。 25 人们被打发走后，耶稣走进姑娘的房间，握住她的手，女孩就站起来了。 26 这件事情传遍了整个地区。
耶稣治愈更多的人
27 耶稣离开那里时，两个盲人跟在他后面，不停地喊着∶“可怜可怜我们吧，大卫的子孙！” 28 耶稣进屋后，盲人来到他面前。
耶稣问∶“你们相信我能让你们重见光明吗？”盲人回答说∶“我们相信，主！”
29 于是耶稣摸了摸他们的眼睛，说∶“愿此事像你所信的那样发生吧。” 30 两个盲人便复明了，耶稣郑重地告诫他们说∶“不许让任何人知道这件事。” 31 但是他们一离开耶稣，就把关于耶稣的事情传遍了那个地区。
32 这两个人刚走，有人带着一个被鬼附体不能讲话的人来见耶稣。 33 耶稣驱走了鬼，那人又开口说话了。众人都很吃惊，说∶“在以色列还从来没有见过这种事情！”
34 但是法利赛人说∶“他是依仗魔王的力量赶走鬼的！”
耶稣充满怜悯
35 耶稣走遍了城镇和乡村，在犹太会堂里教导人们，传播天国的福音，医治各种疾病。 36 他看到很多人，心中充满了怜悯，因为他们困惑无助，像没有牧羊人的羊群。 37 耶稣对他的门徒说∶“要收获的庄稼很多，可是收庄稼的人手却很少。 38 所以，向收获的主请求多派些人来帮助收获他的庄稼吧。”
耶稣派遣使徒传道
10 耶稣召集起他的十二名门徒，赐给他们制服驱赶邪灵和医治各种疾病的力量。 2 十二使徒的名字是：西门（也叫彼得）和他的兄弟安得烈，西庇太的儿子雅各和约翰， 3 腓力和巴多罗买，多马和税吏马太，亚勒腓的儿子雅各和达太， 4 激进派 [g]的西门，还有后来出卖耶稣的加略人犹大。
5 耶稣派遣十二使徒出去传道，吩咐他们说∶“不要去非犹太民族的地区，也不要到撒玛利亚人 [h]的城里去。 6 要到以色列人那里去，他们就像是迷途的羔羊。 7 去传道吧，告诉他们∶‘天国即将来临。’ 8 你们要让死人复活，为人治疗麻风病，为人们驱鬼。你们无偿地获得的，也要无偿地给予。 9 你们不要随身携带金银铜钱， 10 不要带背包，不要带多余的衣服、鞋，也不要带手杖，因为工作的人应该得到他所需要的东西。
11 “无论你们到哪个村镇，找到你们可以信赖的人，住在他家，直到你们离开那地方。 12 你们走进那户人家时，要说‘平安与你们同在。’ 13 如果那家人欢迎你们，他们就配得上你们的祝福，愿他们享有你们为他们祝福的平安。但是，如果他们不欢迎你们，他们就配不上你们的祝福，你们就收回你们的祝福。 14 如果有人或城镇不欢迎你们，或者不听你们所说的，就离开那个房子或城镇，并抖掉脚上的尘土 [i]。 15 我实话告诉你们，在审判日，那个城镇受的惩罚要比所多玛和蛾摩拉人遭受到的还要惨。
耶稣预见困难
16 “听着，我派你们出去，就像把羊放到狼群中。你们要像蛇一样精明，像鸽子一样纯洁。 17 要做好遇难的准备，有人会逮捕你们，送你们去受审，他们会在会堂里鞭打你们。 18 因为你们跟随我，所以他们将会使你们在统治者和国王面前为自己辩护。此事会发生，以便你们能向那些国王、统治者以及非犹太人讲述有关我的事情。 19 当你们被捕时，不必担心该说什么或该怎么说，到那时，该说的话会赐给你们的。 20 因为那时不是你们在说话，而是你们父亲的圣灵通过你们在说话。
21 兄弟会彼此出卖，置对方于死地；父亲会出卖儿女，置他们于死地；儿女也会与父母做对，置他们于死地。。 22 你们会因为跟随我而遭到每个人的憎恨，但是，坚持信仰到底的人必会得救。 23 如果你们在一个城市里受迫害，就到另一个城市去。我实话告诉你们，你们还没有走遍以色列的城镇之前，人子将重返。
24 “学生不会高于老师，仆人不会高于主人。 25 学生若能像他的老师一样，仆人若能像他的主人一样，就可以满足了。如果那些人叫我‘魔王别西卜，’即然我是一家之主，那么更加肯定，我的家人—你们会受到侮辱。
敬畏上帝
26 “你们不要害怕他们。所有隐藏的事情都会暴露，所有的秘密都会被人知道。 27 我私下告诉你们的话，你们要公开地告诉人们，我在你们耳边悄悄说的话，你们要在房顶上公之于众。
28 不要害怕那些能杀害你们的肉体、却不能消灭你们灵魂的人。你们只应该敬畏上帝，只有上帝能够把你们的灵魂和肉体全都毁灭在地狱里。 29 两只麻雀不是只值一分钱 [j]吗？可是如果没有天父的认可，没有一只麻雀会从天上掉下来。 30 上帝甚至知道你们的头发有多少根。 31 所以不要害怕，你们要比许多麻雀贵重的多。
不要为你们的信仰感到耻辱
32 “谁在众人面前承认我，我也会在我天堂里的父亲面前承认他； 33 谁在众人面前否认我，我也会在我天堂里的父亲面前否认他。
跟随耶稣会遭麻烦
34 “不要以为我来是要把和平带到人间的，我带来的不是和平，而是利剑。 35 我来是为了：
‘让儿子和父亲做对，
让女儿和母亲做对，
让媳妇与婆婆不和。
36 甚至你的家人都是你的仇敌。’ (B)
37 “爱父母胜过爱我的人不配做我的门徒；爱子女胜过爱我的人也不配做我的门徒； 38 不肯背起自己苦难的十字架跟随我的人也不配跟随我。 39 那些想保住自己生命的人都将会失去生命；而为我牺牲生命的人却将获得真正的生命。
上帝保佑欢迎你们的人
40 “接受你们的人，就是在接受我；接受我的人，也就是在接受派遣我来的人。 41 任何遇到先知并接受他的人，也会得到先知所得到的报偿；因为某人是正直的人而接受他的人，也会得到正直人所得到的报偿。 42 因为他们是我的门徒而帮助他们的人，甚至是给他们中间最微小的人一杯水解渴，此人也绝对会得到报偿。”
约翰派人去问耶稣
11 耶稣对十二门徒说完这些话，便离开了那里，到加利利各城镇去传道。

Biblia del Jubileo
8 ¶ Cuando descendió del monte, le seguían muchas personas.
2 Y he aquí un leproso vino, y le adoraba, diciendo: Señor, si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
3 Y extendiendo Jesús su mano, le tocó, diciendo: Quiero; sé limpio. Y luego su lepra fue limpiada.
4 Entonces Jesús le dijo: Mira, no lo digas a nadie; mas ve, muéstrate al sacerdote, y ofrece el presente que mandó Moisés, para que les conste.
5 ¶ Y entrando Jesús en Capernaum, vino a él un centurión, rogándole,
6 y diciendo: Señor, mi criado yace en casa paralítico, gravemente atormentado.
7 Y Jesús le dijo: Yo iré y le sanaré.
8 Y respondió el centurión, y dijo: Señor, no soy digno de que entres debajo de mi techado; mas solamente di con la palabra, y mi criado sanará.
9 Porque también yo soy hombre bajo potestad, y tengo debajo de mi potestad soldados; y digo a éste: Ve, y va; y al otro: Ven, y viene; y a mi esclavo: Haz esto, y lo hace.
10 Y oyéndolo Jesús, se maravilló, y dijo a los que le seguían: De cierto os digo, que ni aun en Israel he hallado tanta fe.
11 Mas yo os digo que vendrán muchos del oriente y del occidente, y se sentarán a la mesa con Abraham, e Isaac, y Jacob, en el Reino de los cielos;
12 mas los hijos del Reino serán echados en las tinieblas de afuera; allí será el lloro y el crujir de dientes.
13 Entonces Jesús dijo al centurión: Ve, y como creiste te sea hecho. Y su criado fue sano en la misma hora.
14 ¶ Y vino Jesús a casa de Pedro, y vio a su suegra echada en cama, y con fiebre.
15 Y tocó su mano, y la fiebre la dejó; y ella se levantó, y les servía.
16 Y cuando llegó la noche, trajeron a él muchos endemoniados; y echó de ellos los demonios con la palabra, y sanó a todos los enfermos;
17 para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo: El tomó nuestras enfermedades, y llevó nuestras dolencias.
18 ¶ Y viendo Jesús gran multitud alrededor de sí, mandó que se fueran al otro lado del lago.
19 Y acercándose un escriba, le dijo: Maestro, te seguiré adondequiera que fueres.
20 Y Jesús le dijo: Las zorras tienen cavernas, y las aves del cielo nidos; mas el Hijo del hombre no tiene dónde recostar su cabeza.
21 Y otro de sus discípulos le dijo: Señor, dame licencia para que vaya primero, y entierre a mi padre.
22 Y Jesús le dijo: Sígueme; deja que los muertos entierren a sus muertos.
23 ¶ Y entrando él en un barco, sus discípulos le siguieron.
24 Y he aquí, fue hecho en el mar un gran movimiento, que el barco se cubría de las ondas; mas él dormía.
25 Y acercándose sus discípulos, le despertaron, diciendo: Señor, sálvanos, que perecemos.
26 Y él les dice: ¿Por qué teméis, hombres de poca fe? Entonces, despierto, reprendió a los vientos y al mar; y se hizo grande bonanza.
27 Y los hombres se maravillaron, diciendo: ¿Qué hombre es éste, que aun los vientos y el mar le obedecen?
28 ¶ Y cuando él llegó a la otra ribera, a la provincia de los gadarenos, le vinieron al encuentro dos endemoniados que salían de los sepulcros, fieros en gran manera, que nadie podía pasar por aquel camino.
29 Y he aquí clamaron, diciendo: ¿Qué tenemos contigo, Jesús, Hijo de Dios? ¿Has venido acá a molestarnos antes de tiempo?
30 Y estaba lejos de ellos un hato de muchos puercos paciendo.
31 Y los demonios le rogaron, diciendo: Si nos echas, permítenos ir a aquel hato de puercos.
32 Y les dijo: Id. Y ellos salieron, y se fueron a aquel hato de puercos; y he aquí, todo el hato de los puercos se precipitó de un despeñadero en el mar, y murieron en las aguas.
33 Y los porqueros huyeron, y viniendo a la ciudad, contaron todas las cosas, y lo que había pasado con los endemoniados.
34 Y he aquí, toda la ciudad salió a encontrar a Jesús. Y cuando le vieron, le rogaban que se fuera de sus términos.
9 ¶ Entonces entrando en un barco, pasó al otro lado, y vino a su ciudad.
2 Y he aquí le trajeron un paralítico, echado en una cama; y viendo Jesús la fe de ellos, dijo al paralítico: Confía, hijo; tus pecados te son perdonados.
3 Y he aquí, algunos de los escribas decían dentro de sí: Este blasfema.
4 Y viendo Jesús sus pensamientos, dijo: ¿Por qué pensáis malas cosas en vuestros corazones?
5 ¿Qué es más fácil, decir: Los pecados te son perdonados; o decir: Levántate, y anda?
6 Pues para que sepáis que el Hijo del hombre tiene potestad en la tierra de perdonar pecados, (dice entonces al paralítico): Levántate, toma tu cama, y vete a tu casa.
7 Entonces él se levantó y se fue a su casa.
8 Y la multitud, viéndolo, se maravilló, y glorificó a Dios, que había dado tal potestad a los hombres.
9 ¶ Y pasando Jesús de allí, vio a un hombre que estaba sentado al banco de los tributos públicos, el cual se llamaba Mateo; y le dice: Sígueme. Y se levantó, y le siguió.
10 Y aconteció que estando él sentado a la mesa en su casa, he aquí que muchos publicanos y pecadores, que habían venido, se sentaron juntamente a la mesa con Jesús y sus discípulos.
11 Y viendo esto los fariseos, dijeron a sus discípulos: ¿Por qué come vuestro Maestro con los publicanos y pecadores?
12 Mas oyéndolo Jesús, les dijo: Los que están sanos no tienen necesidad de médico, sino los enfermos.
13 Andad pues, y aprended qué cosa es: Misericordia quiero, y no sacrificio; porque no he venido a llamar a los justos, sino a los pecadores al arrepentimiento.
14 ¶ Entonces los discípulos de Juan vinieron a él, diciendo: ¿Por qué nosotros y los fariseos ayunamos muchas veces, y tus discípulos no ayunan?
15 Y Jesús les dijo: ¿Pueden los hijos de la recámara nupcial tener luto entre tanto que el esposo está con ellos? Mas vendrán días cuando el esposo les será quitado, y entonces ayunarán.
16 Y nadie echa remiendo de paño nuevo en vestido viejo; porque el tal remiendo tira del vestido, y se hace peor la rotura.
17 Ni echan vino nuevo en odres viejos; de otra manera los odres se rompen, y el vino se derrama, y se pierden los odres; mas echan el vino nuevo en odres nuevos, y lo uno y lo otro se conserva juntamente.
18 ¶ Hablando él estas cosas a ellos, he aquí vino un principal, y le adoró, diciendo: Mi hija acaba de morir; mas ven y pon tu mano sobre ella, y vivirá.
19 Y se levantó Jesús, y le siguió con sus discípulos.
20 Y he aquí una mujer enferma de flujo de sangre hacía doce años, acercándose por detrás, tocó la franja de su vestido,
21 porque decía entre sí: Si tocare solamente su vestido, seré libre.
22 Mas Jesús volviéndose, y mirándola, dijo: Confía, hija, tu fe te ha librado. Y la mujer fue libre desde aquella hora.
23 Y llegado Jesús a casa del principal, viendo los tañedores de flautas, y la multitud que hacía bullicio,
24 les dijo: Apartaos, que la muchacha no está muerta, mas duerme. Y se burlaban de él.
25 Pero cuando la multitud fue echada fuera, entró, y la tomó de su mano, y se levantó la muchacha.
26 Y se difundió esta fama por toda aquella tierra.
27 ¶ Y pasando Jesús de allí, le siguieron dos ciegos, dando voces y diciendo: Ten misericordia de nosotros, Hijo de David.
28 Y llegado a la casa, vinieron a él los ciegos; y Jesús les dice: ¿Creéis que puedo hacer esto? Ellos dicen: Sí, Señor.
29 Entonces tocó los ojos de ellos, diciendo: Conforme a vuestra fe os sea hecho.
30 Y los ojos de ellos fueron abiertos. Y Jesús les encargó rigurosamente, diciendo: Mirad que nadie lo sepa.
31 Mas ellos salidos, divulgaron su fama por toda aquella tierra.
32 Y saliendo ellos, he aquí, le trajeron un hombre mudo, endemoniado.
33 Y echado fuera el demonio, el mudo habló; y la multitud se maravilló, diciendo: Nunca ha sido vista cosa semejante en Israel.
34 Mas los fariseos decían: Por el príncipe de los demonios echa fuera los demonios.
35 ¶ Y recorría Jesús todas las ciudades y aldeas, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos, y predicando el Evangelio del Reino, y sanando toda enfermedad y todo flaqueza en el pueblo.
36 Y viendo la multitud, tuvo misericordia de ella; porque estaba derramada y esparcida como ovejas que no tienen pastor.
37 Entonces dice a sus discípulos: A la verdad la mies es mucha, mas los obreros pocos.
38 Rogad, pues, al Señor de la mies, que envíe obreros a su mies.
10 ¶ Entonces llamando a sus doce discípulos, les dio potestad contra los espíritus inmundos, para que los echaran fuera, y sanaran toda enfermedad y toda flaqueza.
2 Y los nombres de los doce apóstoles son éstos: el primero, Simón, que es llamado Pedro, y Andrés su hermano; Jacobo, hijo de Zebedeo, y Juan su hermano;
3 Felipe, y Bartolomé; Tomás, y Mateo el publicano; Jacobo hijo de Alfeo, y Lebeo, por sobrenombre Tadeo;
4 Simón el cananeo y Judas Iscariote, que también le entregó.
5 ¶ A estos doce envió Jesús, a los cuales dio mandamiento, diciendo: Por el camino de los gentiles no iréis, y en ciudad de samaritanos no entréis;
6 mas id antes a las ovejas perdidas de la Casa de Israel.
7 Y yendo, predicad, diciendo: El Reino de los cielos ha llegado.
8 Sanad enfermos, limpiad leprosos, resucitad muertos, echad fuera demonios; de gracia recibisteis, dad de gracia.
9 No proveáis oro, ni plata, ni dinero en vuestros cintos;
10 ni alforja para el camino; ni dos ropas de vestir, ni zapatos, ni bordón; porque el obrero digno es de su alimento.
11 Mas en cualquier ciudad, o aldea donde entréis, buscad con diligencia quién sea en ella digno, y reposad allí hasta que salgáis.
12 Y entrando en la casa, saludadla.
13 Y si la casa fuere digna, vuestra paz vendrá sobre ella; mas si no fuere digna, vuestra paz se volverá a vosotros.
14 Y cualquiera que no os recibiere, ni oyere vuestras palabras, salid de aquella casa o ciudad, y sacudid el polvo de vuestros pies.
15 De cierto os digo, que el castigo será más tolerable a la tierra de los de Sodoma y de los de Gomorra en el día del juicio, que a aquella ciudad.
16 ¶ He aquí, yo os envío como a ovejas en medio de lobos; sed pues prudentes como serpientes, e inocentes como palomas.
17 Y guardaos de los hombres, porque os entregarán en concilios, y en sus sinagogas os azotarán;
18 Y aun a príncipes y a reyes seréis llevados por causa de mí, por testimonio a ellos y a los gentiles.
19 Mas cuando os entregaren, no os apuréis por cómo o qué hablaréis; porque en aquella hora os será dado qué habéis de hablar.
20 Porque no sois vosotros los que habláis, sino el Espíritu de vuestro Padre que habla en vosotros.
21 Y hermano entregará a hermano a la muerte, y padre a hijo; y los hijos se levantarán contra sus padres, y los harán morir.
22 Y seréis aborrecidos de todos por mi nombre; mas el que persevere hasta el fin, éste será salvo.
23 Mas cuando os persiguieren en esta ciudad, huid a la otra; porque de cierto os digo, que no acabaréis de andar todas las ciudades de Israel, antes que venga el Hijo del hombre.
24 El discípulo no es más que su maestro, ni el esclavo más que su señor.
25 Bástale al discípulo ser como su maestro, y al esclavo como su señor. Si al padre de familia llamaron Beelzebú, ¿cuánto más a los de su casa?
26 Así que, no los temáis; porque nada hay encubierto, que no haya de ser manifestado; ni oculto, que no haya de saberse.
27 Lo que os digo en tinieblas, decidlo en luz; y lo que oís al oído, predicadlo desde los terrados.
28 Y no temáis a los que matan el cuerpo, mas al alma no pueden matar; temed antes a aquel que puede destruir el alma y el cuerpo en el infierno.
29 ¿No se venden dos pajarillos por un cuarto? Con todo, ni uno de ellos cae a tierra sin vuestro Padre.
30 Pues aun vuestros cabellos están todos contados.
31 Así que, no temáis; más valéis vosotros que muchos pajarillos.
32 Cualquiera pues que me confesare delante de los hombres, le confesaré yo también delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
33 Y cualquiera que me negare delante de los hombres, le negaré yo también delante de mi Padre que está en los cielos.
34 No penséis que he venido para meter paz en la tierra; no he venido para meter paz, sino espada.
35 Porque he venido para hacer disensión del hombre contra su padre, y de la hija contra su madre, y de la nuera contra su suegra.
36 Y los enemigos del hombre serán los de su casa.
37 El que ama padre o madre más que a mí, no es digno de mí; y el que ama hijo o hija más que a mí, no es digno de mí.
38 Y el que no toma su madero, y sigue en pos de mí, no es digno de mí.
39 El que hallare su vida, la perderá; y el que perdiere su vida por causa de mí, la hallará.
40 El que os recibe a vosotros, a mí me recibe; y el que me recibe a mí, recibe al que me envió.
41 El que recibe profeta en nombre de profeta, salario de profeta recibirá; y el que recibe justo en nombre de justo, salario de justo recibirá.
42 Y cualquiera que diere a uno de estos pequeñitos un vaso de agua fría solamente, en nombre de discípulo, de cierto os digo, que no perderá su salario.
11 ¶ Y fue, que acabando Jesús de dar mandamientos a sus doce discípulos, se fue de allí a enseñar y a predicar en las ciudades de ellos.
Matthew 8:1-11
King James Version
Matthew 8:1-11
King James Version
8 When he was come down from the mountain, great multitudes followed him.
2 And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.
3 And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.
4 And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man; but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testimony unto them.
5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven.
12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
13 And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour.
14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.
16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:
17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
18 Now when Jesus saw great multitudes about him, he gave commandment to depart unto the other side.
19 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest.
20 And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.
21 And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
22 But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
23 And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him.
24 And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep.
25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish.
26 And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm.
27 But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!
28 And when he was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes, there met him two possessed with devils, coming out of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man might pass by that way.
29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?
30 And there was a good way off from them an herd of many swine feeding.
31 So the devils besought him, saying, If thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the herd of swine.
32 And he said unto them, Go. And when they were come out, they went into the herd of swine: and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran violently down a steep place into the sea, and perished in the waters.
33 And they that kept them fled, and went their ways into the city, and told every thing, and what was befallen to the possessed of the devils.
34 And, behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus: and when they saw him, they besought him that he would depart out of their coasts.
9 And he entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into his own city.
2 And, behold, they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, lying on a bed: and Jesus seeing their faith said unto the sick of the palsy; Son, be of good cheer; thy sins be forgiven thee.
3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemeth.
4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
5 For whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and walk?
6 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.
7 And he arose, and departed to his house.
8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
9 And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him.
10 And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
11 And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
12 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick.
13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
14 Then came to him the disciples of John, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not?
15 And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.
16 No man putteth a piece of new cloth unto an old garment, for that which is put in to fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is made worse.
17 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles: else the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and the bottles perish: but they put new wine into new bottles, and both are preserved.
18 While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.
19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so did his disciples.
20 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment:
21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.
22 But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour.
23 And when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the people making a noise,
24 He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed him to scorn.
25 But when the people were put forth, he went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid arose.
26 And the fame hereof went abroad into all that land.
27 And when Jesus departed thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying, Thou son of David, have mercy on us.
28 And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yea, Lord.
29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you.
30 And their eyes were opened; and Jesus straitly charged them, saying, See that no man know it.
31 But they, when they were departed, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.
33 And when the devil was cast out, the dumb spake: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, It was never so seen in Israel.
34 But the Pharisees said, He casteth out devils through the prince of the devils.
35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd.
37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;
38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.
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.
11 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he departed thence to teach and to preach in their cities.
Matthew 8:1-11
New International Version
Matthew 8:1-11
New International Version
Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy(A)
8 When Jesus came down from the mountainside, large crowds followed him. 2 A man with leprosy[a](B) came and knelt before him(C) and said, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”
3 Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately he was cleansed of his leprosy. 4 Then Jesus said to him, “See that you don’t tell anyone.(D) But go, show yourself to the priest(E) and offer the gift Moses commanded,(F) as a testimony to them.”
The Faith of the Centurion(G)
5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed,(H) suffering terribly.”
7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?”
8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.(I) 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”
10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.(J) 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west,(K) and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven.(L) 12 But the subjects of the kingdom(M) will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”(N)
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.”(O) And his servant was healed at that moment.
Jesus Heals Many(P)
14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him.
16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick.(Q) 17 This was to fulfill(R) what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
The Cost of Following Jesus(T)
18 When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake.(U) 19 Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.”
20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man(V) has no place to lay his head.”
21 Another disciple said to him, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
22 But Jesus told him, “Follow me,(W) and let the dead bury their own dead.”
Jesus Calms the Storm(X)(Y)
23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”
26 He replied, “You of little faith,(Z) why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.(AA)
27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”
Jesus Restores Two Demon-Possessed Men(AB)
28 When he arrived at the other side in the region of the Gadarenes,[c] two demon-possessed(AC) men coming from the tombs met him. They were so violent that no one could pass that way. 29 “What do you want with us,(AD) Son of God?” they shouted. “Have you come here to torture us before the appointed time?”(AE)
30 Some distance from them a large herd of pigs was feeding. 31 The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”
32 He said to them, “Go!” So they came out and went into the pigs, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and died in the water. 33 Those tending the pigs ran off, went into the town and reported all this, including what had happened to the demon-possessed men. 34 Then the whole town went out to meet Jesus. And when they saw him, they pleaded with him to leave their region.(AF)
Jesus Forgives and Heals a Paralyzed Man(AG)
9 Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town.(AH) 2 Some men brought to him a paralyzed man,(AI) lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith,(AJ) he said to the man, “Take heart,(AK) son; your sins are forgiven.”(AL)
3 At this, some of the teachers of the law said to themselves, “This fellow is blaspheming!”(AM)
4 Knowing their thoughts,(AN) Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts? 5 Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? 6 But I want you to know that the Son of Man(AO) has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” 7 Then the man got up and went home. 8 When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God,(AP) who had given such authority to man.
The Calling of Matthew(AQ)
9 As Jesus went on from there, he saw a man named Matthew sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,”(AR) he told him, and Matthew got up and followed him.
10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”(AS)
12 On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’[d](AT) For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”(AU)
Jesus Questioned About Fasting(AV)
14 Then John’s(AW) disciples came and asked him, “How is it that we and the Pharisees fast often,(AX) but your disciples do not fast?”
15 Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them?(AY) The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast.(AZ)
16 “No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse. 17 Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”
Jesus Raises a Dead Girl and Heals a Sick Woman(BA)
18 While he was saying this, a synagogue leader came and knelt before him(BB) and said, “My daughter has just died. But come and put your hand on her,(BC) and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and went with him, and so did his disciples.
20 Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak.(BD) 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.”
22 Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart,(BE) daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.”(BF) And the woman was healed at that moment.(BG)
23 When Jesus entered the synagogue leader’s house and saw the noisy crowd and people playing pipes,(BH) 24 he said, “Go away. The girl is not dead(BI) but asleep.”(BJ) But they laughed at him. 25 After the crowd had been put outside, he went in and took the girl by the hand, and she got up.(BK) 26 News of this spread through all that region.(BL)
Jesus Heals the Blind and the Mute
27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!”(BM)
28 When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?”
“Yes, Lord,” they replied.(BN)
29 Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you”;(BO) 30 and their sight was restored. Jesus warned them sternly, “See that no one knows about this.”(BP) 31 But they went out and spread the news about him all over that region.(BQ)
32 While they were going out, a man who was demon-possessed(BR) and could not talk(BS) was brought to Jesus. 33 And when the demon was driven out, the man who had been mute spoke. The crowd was amazed and said, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”(BT)
34 But the Pharisees said, “It is by the prince of demons that he drives out demons.”(BU)
The Workers Are Few
35 Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness.(BV) 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them,(BW) because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd.(BX) 37 Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest(BY) is plentiful but the workers are few.(BZ) 38 Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.”
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(CA)(CB)(CC)(CD)(CE)
10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits(CF) and to heal every disease and sickness.(CG)
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.(CH)
5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.(CI) 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.(CJ) 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven(CK) has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[e] 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(CL)— 10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.(CM) 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.(CN) 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.(CO) 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah(CP) on the day of judgment(CQ) than for that town.(CR)
16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.(CS) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.(CT) 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils(CU) and be flogged in the synagogues.(CV) 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings(CW) 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.(CX) At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father(CY) speaking through you.
21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(CZ) and have them put to death.(DA) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(DB) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(DC) 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.(DD)
24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(DE) 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,(DF) 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.(DG) 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(DH) 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.[f] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(DI) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(DJ)
32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(DK) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(DL)
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(DM)—
36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[g](DN)
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.(DO) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(DP) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(DQ)
40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(DR) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(DS) 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.”(DT)
Jesus and John the Baptist(DU)
11 After Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples,(DV) he went on from there to teach and preach in the towns of Galilee.[h]
