Matthew 10:37-11:1

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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 up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.

³⁹ He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, 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 the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.

⁴² And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

11 And it came to pass, when Jesus had made an end of commanding his twelve disciples, he passed from thence, to teach and preach in their cities.
