Matthew 10
Young's Literal Translation
10 And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave to them power over unclean spirits, so as to be casting them out, and to be healing every sickness, and every malady.
2 And of the twelve apostles the names are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus;
4 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who did also deliver him up.
5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, having given command to them, saying, `To the way of the nations go not away, and into a city of the Samaritans go not in,
6 and be going rather unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 `And, going on, proclaim saying that, the reign of the heavens hath come nigh;
8 infirm ones be healing, lepers be cleansing, dead be raising, demons be casting out -- freely ye did receive, freely give.
9 `Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles,
10 nor scrip for the way, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff -- for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
11 `And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.
12 And coming to the house salute it,
13 and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.
14 `And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,
15 verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 `Lo, I do send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves, be ye therefore wise as the serpents, and simple as the doves.
17 And, take ye heed of men, for they will give you up to sanhedrims, and in their synagogues they will scourge you,
18 and before governors and kings ye shall be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
19 `And whenever they may deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye may speak, for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak;
20 for ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father that is speaking in you.
21 `And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child, and children shall rise up against parents, and shall put them to death,
22 and ye shall be hated by all because of my name, but he who hath endured to the end, he shall be saved.
23 `And whenever they may persecute you in this city, flee to the other, for verily I say to you, ye may not have completed the cities of Israel till the Son of Man may come.
24 `A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;
25 sufficient to the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord; if the master of the house they did call Beelzeboul, how much more those of his household?
26 `Ye may not, therefore, fear them, for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed, and hid, that shall not be known;
27 that which I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light, and that which you hear at the ear, proclaim on the house-tops.
28 `And be not afraid of those killing the body, and are not able to kill the soul, but fear rather Him who is able both soul and body to destroy in gehenna.
29 `Are not two sparrows sold for an assar? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father;
30 and of you -- even the hairs of the head are all numbered;
31 be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.
32 `Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;
33 and whoever shall deny me before men, I also will deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.
34 `Ye may not suppose that I came to put peace on the earth; I did not come to put peace, but a sword;
35 for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
36 and the enemies of a man are those of his household.
37 `He who is loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of me, and he who is loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of me,
38 and whoever doth not receive his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
39 `He who found his life shall lose it, and he who lost his life for my sake shall find it.
40 `He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,
41 he who is receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who is receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward,
42 and whoever may give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he may not lose his reward.'
Matei 10

Trimiterea celor doisprezece
10 Isus i-a chemat la El pe cei doisprezece ucenici ai Săi şi le-a dat autoritate să scoată afară duhurile necurate şi să vindece orice boală şi orice neputinţă. 2 Iată care sunt numele celor doisprezece apostoli: cel dintâi, Simon, care este numit Petru, şi Andrei, fratele lui; Iacov, fiul lui Zebedei, şi Ioan, fratele lui; 3 Filip şi Bartolomeu[a]; Toma şi Matei, colectorul de taxe; Iacov, fiul lui Alfeu, şi Tadeu[b]; 4 Simon, zelotul[c], şi Iuda Iscarioteanul, cel care L-a trădat pe Isus.
5 Pe aceştia doisprezece i-a trimis Isus, poruncindu-le următoarele: „Să nu mergeţi printre neamuri şi să nu intraţi în vreo cetate de-a samaritenilor[d], 6 ci mergeţi, mai degrabă, la oile pierdute ale casei lui Israel! 7 Iar în timp ce mergeţi, vestiţi şi ziceţi: «Împărăţia Cerurilor este aproape!» 8 Vindecaţi-i pe cei bolnavi, înviaţi-i pe cei morţi, curăţiţi-i pe cei leproşi[e], scoateţi afară demonii! Fără plată aţi primit, fără plată să daţi! 9 Să nu luaţi nici aur, nici argint, nici aramă în brâiele voastre, 10 nici traistă de călătorie, nici două tunici, nici sandale şi nici toiag, căci vrednic este lucrătorul de hrana lui!
11 În orice cetate sau sat intraţi, interesaţi-vă cine de acolo este vrednic şi rămâneţi la el până veţi pleca. 12 La intrarea voastră în casă, salutaţi-l! 13 Dacă familia aceea este vrednică, pacea voastră să vină peste ea, dar dacă nu este vrednică, pacea voastră să se întoarcă la voi! 14 Dacă cineva nu vă va primi, nici nu va asculta cuvintele voastre, scuturaţi-vă praful de pe picioare când ieşiţi din casa sau din cetatea aceea! 15 Adevărat vă spun că, în Ziua Judecăţii, va fi mai uşor pentru ţinutul Sodomei şi al Gomorei[f] decât pentru cetatea aceea!
Ucenicii vor fi persecutaţi
16 Iată, Eu vă trimit ca pe nişte oi în mijlocul lupilor! Fiţi deci înţelepţi ca şerpii şi fără pată ca porumbeii. 17 Păziţi-vă de oameni, pentru că vă vor da pe mâna sinedriilor[g] şi vă vor biciui în sinagogile lor. 18 Din pricina Mea veţi fi duşi înaintea guvernatorilor şi înaintea regilor, ca să slujiţi drept mărturie pentru ei şi pentru neamuri. 19 Dar când vă vor da pe mâna lor, să nu vă îngrijoraţi cu privire la cum sau ce veţi spune, pentru că ce va trebui să spuneţi vă va fi dat chiar în ceasul acela! 20 Căci nu voi sunteţi cei care veţi vorbi, ci Duhul Tatălui vostru este Cel Care va vorbi prin voi.
21 Fratele îl va trăda şi-l va da la moarte pe fratele său, iar tatăl, pe copilul său; copiii se vor ridica împotriva părinţilor şi-i vor da la moarte. 22 Veţi fi urâţi de toţi din pricina Numelui Meu, dar cel ce va răbda până la sfârşit va fi mântuit. 23 Când vă vor persecuta într-o cetate, să fugiţi în alta! Adevărat vă spun că nu veţi termina de străbătut cetăţile lui Israel înainte să vină Fiul Omului!
24 Un ucenic nu este mai presus de învăţătorul său şi un sclav nu este mai presus de stăpânul său. 25 Îi este de ajuns ucenicului să fie ca învăţătorul său şi sclavului – ca stăpânul său. Dacă pe stăpânul casei l-au numit «Beelzebul»[h], cu cât mai mult îi vor numi aşa pe cei din casa Lui!
Teamă de Dumnezeu, nu de oameni
26 Aşadar, să nu vă temeţi de ei! Căci nu este nimic acoperit, care nu va fi descoperit, şi nimic ascuns, care nu va fi făcut cunoscut! 27 Ceea ce vă spun Eu la întuneric voi să spuneţi la lumină şi ceea ce auziţi şoptindu-se la urechile voastre să vestiţi de pe acoperişurile caselor! 28 Nu vă temeţi de cei ce omoară trupul, dar care nu pot omorî sufletul! Ci temeţi-vă mai degrabă de Cel Ce poate să distrugă şi sufletul, şi trupul, în Gheenă. 29 Nu se vând oare două vrăbii pe un assarion[i]? Şi totuşi, nici măcar una dintre ele nu cade la pământ fără voia Tatălui vostru! 30 Cât despre voi, chiar şi firele de păr din cap, toate vă sunt numărate! 31 Deci nu vă temeţi! Voi sunteţi mai valoroşi decât multe vrăbii!
32 Aşadar, pe oricine Mă va mărturisi în faţa oamenilor îl voi mărturisi şi Eu înaintea Tatălui Meu, Care este în ceruri. 33 Însă de oricine se va lepăda de Mine în faţa oamenilor mă voi lepăda şi Eu înaintea Tatălui Meu, Care este în ceruri.
Costul uceniciei
34 Să nu credeţi că am venit să aduc pacea pe pământ; n-am venit să aduc pacea, ci sabia. 35 Căci am venit să-i întorc
«pe fiu împotriva tatălui său,
pe fiică împotriva mamei ei
şi pe noră împotriva soacrei sale,
36 aşa încât duşmanii unui om vor fi chiar cei din familia lui»[j].
37 Cel ce iubeşte pe tată sau pe mamă mai mult decât pe Mine, nu este vrednic de Mine, şi cel ce iubeşte pe fiu sau pe fiică mai mult decât pe Mine, nu este vrednic de Mine. 38 Oricine nu-şi ia crucea şi nu Mă urmează, nu este vrednic de Mine. 39 Cel ce-şi va găsi viaţa, o va pierde, dar cel ce-şi va pierde viaţa de dragul Meu, o va găsi.[k]
Răsplătiri
40 Cel ce vă primeşte pe voi Mă primeşte pe Mine, iar cel ce Mă primeşte pe Mine Îl primeşte, de fapt, pe Cel Ce M-a trimis pe Mine. 41 Cel ce primeşte un profet, în numele unui[l] profet, va primi răsplata unui profet, iar cel ce primeşte un om drept, în numele unui om drept, va primi răsplata unui om drept. 42 Şi oricine-i va da chiar şi un pahar cu apă rece unuia dintre aceşti micuţi, în numele unui ucenic, adevărat vă spun că nu-şi va pierde răsplata.“

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.

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?

Jesus Appoints the Twelve
10 (A)And summoning His twelve disciples, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to (B)heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
2 (C)Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, (D)Simon, who is called Peter, and (E)Andrew his brother; and (F)James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 (G)Philip and [a]Bartholomew; (H)Thomas and (I)Matthew the tax collector; (J)James the son of Alphaeus, and (K)Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the [b]Zealot, and (L)Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.
The Twelve Disciples Sent Out
5 (M)These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, “Do not [c]go [d]in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the (N)Samaritans; 6 but rather go to (O)the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, [e]preach, saying, ‘(P)The kingdom of heaven [f]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9 (Q)Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, 10 or a [g]bag for your journey, or even two [h]tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for (R)the worker is worthy of his [i]support. 11 And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave. 12 Now as you enter the [j]house, (S)give it your [k]greeting. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you leave that house or that city, (T)shake the dust off your feet. 15 Truly I say to you, (U)it will be more tolerable for the land of (V)Sodom and Gomorrah in (W)the day of judgment than for that city.
The Promise of Persecution
16 “(X)Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so [l]be (Y)shrewd as serpents and (Z)innocent as doves. 17 But beware of men, for they will deliver you over to the (AA)courts and flog you (AB)in their synagogues; 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 (AC)But when they deliver you over, (AD)do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given to you in that hour what you are to say. 20 For (AE)it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 “(AF)And brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and (AG)children will rise up against parents and [m]cause them to be put to death. 22 (AH)And you will be hated by all because of My name, but (AI)it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
23 “But whenever they (AJ)persecute you in this city, flee to [n]the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel (AK)until the Son of Man comes.
The Meaning of Discipleship
24 “(AL)A [o]disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. (AM)If they have called the head of the house [p](AN)Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26 “Therefore do not (AO)fear them, (AP)for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known. 27 (AQ)What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim (AR)upon the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather (AS)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [q](AT)hell. 29 (AU)Are not two sparrows sold for an [r]assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (AV)the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So do not fear; (AW)you are more valuable than many sparrows.
32 “Therefore (AX)everyone who [s]confesses Me before men, I will also confess [t]him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But (AY)whoever [u]denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
34 “(AZ)Do not think that I came to [v]bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to (BA)set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and (BB)a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.
37 “(BC)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 And (BD)he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 (BE)He who has found his [w]life will lose it, and he who has lost his [x]life for My sake will find it.
The Reward of Service
40 “(BF)He who receives you receives Me, and (BG)he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 (BH)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 And (BI)whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these [y]little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
