The Twelve Disciples; Instructions for Service

10 Jesus (A)summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to (B)heal every disease and every sickness.

2 (C)Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, (D)Simon, who is called Peter, and his brother (E)Andrew; and [a](F)James the son of Zebedee, and his brother [b]John; 3 (G)Philip and [c]Bartholomew; (H)Thomas and (I)Matthew the tax collector; [d](J)James the son of Alphaeus, and (K)Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the [e]Zealot, and (L)Judas Iscariot, the one who also betrayed Him.

5 (M)These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, “Do not go on a road [f]to Gentiles, and do not enter a city of (N)Samaritans; 6 but rather go to (O)the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, [g]preach, saying, ‘(P)The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, 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 [h]bag for your journey, or even two [i]tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for (R)the worker is deserving of his [j]support. 11 And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay [k]at his house until you leave that city. 12 As you enter the [l]house, (S)give it your [m]greeting. 13 If the house is worthy, see that your blessing of peace comes upon it. But if it is not worthy, [n]take back your blessing of peace. 14 And whoever does not receive you nor listen to your words, as you leave that house or 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 on (W)the day of judgment, than for that city.

A Hard Road Ahead of Them

16 “(X)Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be as (Y)wary as serpents, and as (Z)innocent as doves. 17 But be on guard against people, for they will hand you over to the (AA)courts and flog you (AB)in their synagogues; 18 and you will even be brought before governors and kings on My account, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 (AC)But when they hand you over, (AD)do not worry about how or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given you in that hour. 20 For (AE)it is not you who are speaking, but it is the Spirit of your Father who is speaking [o]in you.

21 “Now (AF)brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and (AG)children will rise up against parents and [p]cause them to be put to death. 22 And (AH)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 [q]one city, flee to the [r]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 [s]disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he may become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. (AM)If they have called the head of the house [t](AN)Beelzebul, how much more will they insult the members of his household!

26 “So do not (AO)fear them, (AP)for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 (AQ)What I tell you in the darkness, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim (AR)on the housetops. 28 And do not be afraid of 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 [u](AT)hell. 29 (AU)Are two sparrows not sold for an [v]assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (AV)even the hairs of your head are all counted. 31 So do not fear; (AW)you are more valuable than a great number of sparrows.

32 “Therefore, (AX)everyone who [w]confesses Me before people, I will also confess [x]him before My Father who is in heaven. 33 But (AY)whoever denies Me before people, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.

34 “(AZ)Do not think that I came to [y]bring peace on the earth; I did not come to [z]bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to (BA)turn 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 person’s enemies will be the members of his household.

37 “(BC)The one who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. 38 And (BD)the one who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 (BE)The one who has found his [aa]life will lose it, and the one who has lost his [ab]life on My account will find it.

The Reward for Service

40 “(BF)The one who [ac]receives you [ad]receives Me, and (BG)the one who [ae]receives Me [af]receives Him who sent Me. 41 (BH)The one who [ag]receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and the one who [ah]receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person shall receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And (BI)whoever gives one of these [ai]little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

Matthew 10
American Standard Version

10 And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.

2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; [a]James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the [b]publican; [c]James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the [d]Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also [e]betrayed him.

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans: 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, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give. 9 Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your [f]purses; 10 no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. 11 And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth. 12 And as ye enter into the 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, as ye go forth out of that house or that 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 Gomorrah 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 [g]harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; 18 yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you. 21 And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and [h]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, the same shall be saved. 23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a [i]servant above his lord. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the [j]servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house [k]Beelzebub, how much more 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 the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops. 28 And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [l]hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father: 30 but the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Every one therefore who shall confess [m]me before men, [n]him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.

34 Think not that I came to [o]send peace on the earth: I came not to [p]send peace, but a sword. 35 For I came 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 doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that [q]findeth his life shall lose it; and he that [r]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.

馬太福音 10
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)

差派十二使徒

10 耶穌召來他的十二個門徒，賜給他們權柄，能驅趕汙靈，也能使各樣的疾病和各樣的症狀痊癒。 2 以下是十二使徒的名字：

首先是西門——也叫彼得，
然後是他的弟弟[a]安得烈，
西庇太的兒子雅各，
雅各的弟弟約翰，
3 腓力和巴多羅邁，
多馬和稅吏馬太，
亞勒腓的兒子雅各，還有達太，
4 激進派[b]的西門，
還有那出賣耶穌的加略人猶大。

5 耶穌差派這十二使徒出去，吩咐他們說：「外邦人的路，你們不要走；撒馬利亞人的城，你們不要進； 6 寧願到以色列家迷失的羊那裡去。 7 你們去的時候，要傳講說『天國近了。』 8 要使病人痊癒，使死人復活，使痲瘋病人潔淨，把鬼魔趕出去。你們無償地得來，也要無償地給與。 9 腰包裡不要帶金銀或銅錢。 10 在路上不要帶行囊，不要帶兩件衣服[c]，也不要帶鞋子和手杖，因為工人配得自己的食物。

11 「你們無論進哪個城鎮或鄉村，要查問其中配得的人，就住在他那裡，直到你們離去。 12 你們進了他家，要祝那家平安。 13 如果那一家是配得的，你們的平安就臨到那一家；如果那家是不配得的，你們的平安就歸回你們。 14 如果有人不接受你們，也不聽你們的話語，你們離開那家那城的時候，要把腳上的塵土跺掉。 15 我確實地告訴你們：在那審判的日子，所多瑪和格摩拉之地所受的，將要比那城還容易受呢！

預言受迫害

16 「看哪，我差派你們出去，就像把羊送進狼群中，所以你們要像蛇那樣聰明，像鴿子那樣純潔。 17 你們要提防人們，因為他們將要把你們送交議會，並且在他們的會堂裡鞭打你們。 18 為我的緣故，你們將被帶到總督和君王面前，好對他們和外邦人做見證。 19 當他們把你們交出去的時候，不要憂慮怎樣說或說什麼。到時候，你們就會被賜予該說的話， 20 因為說話的不是你們自己，而是你們父的靈在你們裡面說話。

21 「兄弟將要把兄弟出賣，置於死地；父親對孩子也會這樣。兒女會起來與父母作對，並且害死他們。 22 為了我的名，你們將被所有的人憎恨，但是忍耐到底的，這個人將會得救。 23 他們在這城逼迫你們，你們就逃到別的城去。我確實地告訴你們：在你們走遍以色列的城鎮之前，人子必定來臨。 24 學生不高於他的老師，奴僕也不高於他的主人。 25 學生能像他的老師一樣，奴僕能像他的主人一樣，就已經夠了。如果人們稱一家的主人為『別西卜』，更何況他的家人呢！

要懼怕神

26 「所以不要怕他們，因為被遮蓋的事沒有將不被顯露出來的，隱祕的事也沒有將不被知道的。 27 我在暗中告訴你們的，你們要在明處說出來；你們在耳邊聽到的，要在屋頂上宣揚出去。 28 你們不要怕那些能殺死身體卻不能殺死靈魂的；反而倒要懼怕那位能把靈魂和身體都毀滅在地獄裡的。 29 兩隻麻雀不是賣一個小錢[d]嗎？但如果沒有你們父的允許[e]，一隻也不會掉在地上。 30 至於你們，就是每一根頭髮也都被數過了。 31 所以不要怕！你們比一大群麻雀還重要。

要承認基督

32 「凡是在人面前承認我的，我在我天上的父面前也將承認他； 33 但無論誰在人面前不認我，我在我天上的父面前也將不認他。 34 不要以為我來了，是給地上帶來和平。我來並不是帶來和平，而是刀劍， 35 因為我來就是為了：

使『人與父親對立，
女兒與母親對立，
媳婦與婆婆對立，
36 這樣，一個人的敵人[f]，
就是自己家裡的人。』[g]

37 「那愛父親或母親過於愛我的，不配屬於我；那愛兒子或女兒過於愛我的，不配屬於我； 38 不背起自己的十字架來跟從我的，也不配屬於我。 39 尋得自己生命的，將失去生命；為我的緣故失去自己生命的，將尋得生命。

一杯涼水

40 「接受你們的，就是接受我；接受我的，就是接受差派我來的那一位。 41 因著先知的名份接受先知的，將得到先知的報償；因著義人的名份接受義人的，將得到義人的報償。 42 無論誰，因著門徒的名份，就是拿一杯涼水給這些卑微人中的一個喝，我確實地告訴你們：他絕不會失去他的報償。」
