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.”

Korean Living Bible
열두 제자를 부르심
10 예수님은 열두 제자를 불러 그들에게 더러운 귀신을 쫓아내며 모든 병 과 허약한 체질을 고치는 권능을 주셨다.
2 이 열두 사도의 이름은 이렇다: 베드로라는 시몬, 시몬의 형제 안드레, 세베대의 아들 야고보, 야고보의 형제 요한,
3 빌립, 바돌로매, 도마, 세무원 마태, 알패오의 아들 야고보, 다대오,
4 [a]가나안 사람 시몬, 그리고 예수님을 판 가룟 사람 유다였다.
전도자의 각오
5 예수님은 이 열두 사람을 보내시며 이렇게 명령하셨다. “너희는 이방인들이나 사마리아 사람들에게 가지 말고
6 하나님의 잃어버린 양과 같은 이스라엘 사람들에게 가거라.
7 가서 ‘하늘 나라가 가까웠다’ 고 전하여라.
8 병든 사람을 고치고 죽은 사람을 살리고 문둥병자를 깨끗하게 하며 귀신을 쫓아내어라. 너희가 거저 받았으니 거저 주어라.
9 [b]돈은 일체 가지고 가지 말아라.
10 여행 가방이나 갈아 입을 옷이나 여분의 신발이나 지팡이도 갖고 가지 말아라. 일꾼이 자기 먹을 것을 받는 것이 마땅하다.
11 어느 도시나 마을에 들어가든지 [c]너희를 기꺼이 영접하고자 하는 사람을 찾아 너희가 떠날 때까지 그 집에 머물러라.
12 너희는 그 집에 들어가면서 [d]평안을 빌어 주어라.
13 만일 그 집이 너희 평안의 축복을 받을 만하면 너희가 빈 평안이 그 집에 내릴 것이고 그렇지 못하면 그 평안이 너희에게 되돌아올 것이다.
14 누구든지 너희를 영접하지도 않고 너희 말도 듣지 않거든 그 집이나 그 마을을 떠날 때 신발에 묻은 먼지를 떨어 버려라.
15 내가 분명히 말하지만 심판 날에는 소돔과 고모라가 그 마을보다 더 견디기 쉬울 것이다.
16 “내가 너희를 보내는 것이 양을 이리떼 속으로 보내는 것과 같다. 그러므로 너희는 뱀처럼 지혜롭고 비둘기처럼 순결하여라.
17 사람들을 조심하라. 그들이 너희를 [e]법정에 넘겨 주고 회당에서 채찍질할 것이다.
18 너희는 나 때문에 총독들과 왕들 앞에 끌려가서 그들과 이방인들에게 내 증인이 될 것이다.
19 그러나 그들이 너희를 법정에 넘길 때 무엇을 어떻게 말할까 걱정하지 말아라. 그 때에 너희가 할 말을 일러 주실 것이다.
20 이때 말하는 이는 너희가 아니라 너희 속 에서 말씀하시는 너희 아버지의 성령이시다.
21 또 형제가 형제를, 아버지가 자식을 고발하여 죽게 할 것이며 자식이 부모를 대적하여 죽게 할 것이다.
22 그리고 너희가 나 때문에 모든 사람에게서 미움을 받을 것이나 끝까지 견디는 사람은 구원을 받을 것이다.
23 어떤 마을에서 사람들이 너희를 괴롭히거든 다른 마을로 피하라. 내가 분명히 말해 두지만 너희가 이곳 저곳으로 피하며 이스라엘의 마을들을 다 다니기 전에 [f]내가 올 것이다.
24 “제자가 스승보다 높지 못하고 종이 주인보다 높지 못하다.
25 제자는 스승과 같이 되는 것으로 만족해야 하고 종은 주인과 같이 되는 것으로 만족해야 한다. 집 주인인 나를 [g]사탄이라고 불렀으니 [h]너희에게야 오죽하겠느냐?
26 그러나 너희를 위협하는 사람들을 두려워하지 말아라. 감추어진 일이 드러나지 않을 것이 없고 숨겨진 일이 알려지지 않을 것이 없다.
27 너희는 내가 너희에게 어두운 데서 말한 것을 밝은 데서 말하고 너희 귀에 조용히 들려 준 것을 옥상에서 큰 소리로 전파하라.
28 몸은 죽여도 영혼은 죽이지 못하는 사람들을 두려워하지 말고 영혼과 몸을 [i]지옥에서 다 멸망시킬 수 있는 분을 두려워하라.
29 참새 두 마리가 [j]동전 몇 푼에 팔리지 않느냐? 그러나 너희 아버지께서 허락하지 않으시면 그 참새 한 마리도 그저 땅에 떨어지는 법이 없다.
30 하나님은 너희 머리카락도 다 세고 계신다.
31 그러므로 두려워하지 말아라. 너희는 많은 참새들보다 더 귀하다.
32 누구든지 사람들 앞에서 나를 안다고 하면 나도 하늘에 계신 내 아버지 앞에서 그를 안다고 할 것이다.
33 그러나 누구든지 사람들 앞에서 나를 모른다고 하면 나도 하늘에 계신 내 아버지 앞에서 그를 모른다고 할 것이다.
34 “너희는 내가 세상에 평화를 주러 왔다고 생각하지 말아라. 평화가 아니라 칼을 주려고 왔다.
35 나는 아들과 아버지, 딸과 어머니, 며느리와 시어머니가 서로 다투게 하려고 왔다.
36 그러므로 사람의 원수는 자기 식구가 될 것이다.
37 나보다 자기 부모를 더 사랑하는 사람은 내 제자가 되기에 적합하지 않고 나보다 자기 자식을 더 사랑하는 사람도 적합하지 않으며
38 자기 십자가를 지고 나를 따르지 않는 사람 역시 내 제자로서 적합하지 않다.
39 자기 생명을 아끼는 사람은 잃을 것이며 나를 위해 자기 생명을 버리는 사람은 얻을 것이다.
40 “너희를 영접하는 사람은 나를 영접하는 것이며 나를 영접하는 사람은 나를 보내신 하나님을 영접하는 것이다.
41 누구든지 예언자를 영접하면 예언자가 받는 상을 받을 것이며 의로운 사람을 영접하면 의로운 사람이 받는 상을 받을 것이다.
42 내가 분명히 말해 둔다. [k]아주 보잘것없는 사람이지만 그가 내 제자라는 이유로 그에게 냉수 한 그릇이라도 대접하는 사람은 반드시 상을 받을 것이다.”
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.”

New International Version
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)
