Matthew 10
King James Version
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.
Matthaeus 10
Hoffnung für Alle
Die Aussendung der Jünger und die Auseinandersetzungen mit den Pharisäern (Kapitel 10–12)
Die zwölf Apostel (Markus 3,13‒19; Lukas 6,13‒16; Apostelgeschichte 1,13)
10 Dann rief Jesus seine zwölf Jünger zu sich und gab ihnen die Macht, böse Geister auszutreiben und alle Kranken und Leidenden zu heilen.
2 Das sind die Namen der zwölf Apostel: zuerst Simon, den man auch Petrus nannte, und sein Bruder Andreas; dann Jakobus und sein Bruder Johannes, die Söhne von Zebedäus; 3 dazu Philippus und Bartholomäus; Thomas und Matthäus, der ehemalige Zolleinnehmer; Jakobus, der Sohn von Alphäus, und Thaddäus; 4 Simon, der ehemalige Freiheitskämpfer, und Judas Iskariot, der Jesus später verriet.
Der Auftrag an die Apostel (Markus 6,7‒11; Lukas 9,1‒6; 10,3‒12)
5 Diese zwölf Jünger sandte Jesus aus und gab ihnen folgenden Auftrag: »Geht nicht zu den Nichtjuden oder in die Städte der Samariter, 6 sondern geht nur zu den Menschen aus dem Volk Israel. Sie sind wie Schafe, die ohne ihren Hirten verloren umherirren. 7 Ihnen sollt ihr diese Botschaft bringen: ›Gottes himmlisches Reich ist nahe!‹ 8 Heilt Kranke, weckt Tote auf, macht Aussätzige gesund und treibt Dämonen aus!
Tut alles, ohne etwas dafür zu verlangen, denn ihr habt auch die Kraft dazu ohne Gegenleistung bekommen. 9 Nehmt kein Geld mit auf die Reise, weder Goldstücke noch Silber- oder Kupfermünzen, 10 auch keine Tasche für unterwegs, kein zweites Hemd, keine Schuhe und keinen Wanderstock. Denn wer arbeitet, hat ein Recht darauf, dass man ihn versorgt.
11 Wenn ihr in eine Stadt oder in ein Dorf kommt, dann sucht jemanden, der willig[a] ist, euch aufzunehmen. Dort bleibt, bis ihr weiterzieht. 12 Wenn ihr in ein Haus eintretet, dann sagt: ›Friede sei mit euch!‹ 13 Wenn seine Bewohner euch und eure Botschaft annehmen,[b] so soll der Friede, den ihr bringt, in diesem Haus bleiben. Tun sie dies nicht, so wird der Friede sie wieder verlassen und zu euch zurückkehren.
14 Wenn ihr in einer Stadt oder in einem Haus nicht willkommen seid und man eure Botschaft nicht hören will, so geht fort und schüttelt den Staub von euren Füßen als Zeichen dafür, dass ihr die Stadt dem Urteil Gottes überlasst. 15 Ich versichere euch: Sodom und Gomorra wird es am Tag des Gerichts besser ergehen als einer solchen Stadt.«
Die Jünger müssen mit Widerstand rechnen (Markus 13,9‒13; Lukas 12,11‒12; 21,12‒19)
16 »Denkt daran: Ich schicke euch wie Schafe mitten unter die Wölfe. Seid klug wie Schlangen, und doch frei von Hinterlist wie Tauben. 17 Nehmt euch in Acht vor den Menschen! Denn sie werden euch vor die Gerichte zerren und euch in ihren Synagogen auspeitschen. 18 Weil ihr zu mir gehört, werdet ihr vor Machthabern und Königen verhört werden. Dort werdet ihr meine Botschaft bezeugen, damit alle Völker von mir erfahren.
19 Wenn sie euch vor Gericht bringen, dann sorgt euch nicht darum, was ihr sagen oder wie ihr euch verteidigen sollt! Denn zur rechten Zeit wird Gott euch das rechte Wort geben. 20 Nicht ihr werdet es sein, die Rede und Antwort stehen, sondern der Geist eures Vaters im Himmel wird durch euch sprechen.
21 Geschwister werden einander dem Henker ausliefern und Väter ihre eigenen Kinder hinrichten lassen. Und auch Kinder werden gegen ihre Eltern vorgehen und sie in den Tod schicken. 22 Alle Welt wird euch hassen, weil ihr euch zu mir bekennt. Aber wer bis zum Ende standhält, der wird gerettet.
23 Wenn man euch in der einen Stadt verfolgt, dann flieht in eine andere. Ich versichere euch: Noch ehe ihr meinen Auftrag in allen Städten Israels ausgeführt habt, wird der Menschensohn kommen.
24 Ein Schüler steht nicht über seinem Lehrer, und ein Diener hat es nicht besser als sein Herr. 25 Sie können zufrieden sein, wenn es ihnen genauso geht wie ihrem Lehrer oder ihrem Herrn. Wenn man aber den Herrn des Hauses schon einen ›Teufel‹[c] genannt hat, was werden sie erst zu seinen Angehörigen sagen?«
Habt keine Angst vor den Menschen! (Lukas 12,2‒9; Markus 8,38)
26 »Fürchtet euch nicht vor denen, die euch bedrohen! Denn nichts bleibt für immer verborgen, sondern eines Tages kommt die Wahrheit ans Licht, und dann werden alle Geheimnisse enthüllt. 27 Was ich euch im Dunkeln sage, das gebt am helllichten Tag weiter! Was ich euch ins Ohr flüstere, das ruft von den Dächern. 28 Habt keine Angst vor den Menschen, die zwar den Körper, aber nicht die Seele töten können! Fürchtet vielmehr Gott, der beide, Leib und Seele, dem ewigen Verderben in der Hölle ausliefern kann.
29 Welchen Wert hat schon ein Spatz? Man kann zwei von ihnen für einen Spottpreis kaufen. Trotzdem fällt keiner tot zur Erde, ohne dass euer Vater davon weiß. 30 Bei euch sind sogar die Haare auf dem Kopf alle gezählt. 31 Darum habt keine Angst! Ihr seid Gott mehr wert als ein ganzer Spatzenschwarm.
32 Wer sich vor den Menschen zu mir bekennt, zu dem werde ich mich auch vor meinem Vater im Himmel bekennen. 33 Wer aber vor den Menschen nicht zu mir steht, zu dem werde ich auch vor meinem Vater im Himmel nicht stehen.«
Konsequenzen der Nachfolge (Lukas 12,51‒53; 14,26‒27; Markus 8,34‒35; Johannes 12,25)
34 »Meint nur nicht, ich sei gekommen, um Frieden auf die Erde zu bringen. Nein, ich bringe Kampf!
35 Ich werde Vater und Sohn, Mutter und Tochter, Schwiegertochter und Schwiegermutter gegeneinander aufbringen.
36 Die eigenen Angehörigen werden zu Feinden![d]
37 Wer seinen Vater oder seine Mutter, seinen Sohn oder seine Tochter mehr liebt als mich, der ist es nicht wert, mein Jünger zu sein. 38 Und wer nicht bereit ist, sein Kreuz auf sich zu nehmen und mir nachzufolgen, der kann nicht zu mir gehören. 39 Wer sich an sein Leben klammert, der wird es verlieren. Wer aber sein Leben für mich aufgibt, der wird es für immer gewinnen.«
Nichts bleibt ohne Lohn (Markus 9,41; Lukas 10,16; Johannes 13,20)
40 »Wer euch aufnimmt, der nimmt mich auf, und wer mich aufnimmt, der nimmt Gott selbst auf, der mich gesandt hat. 41 Wer einen Propheten aufnimmt, weil Gott diesen beauftragt hat, der wird auch wie ein Prophet belohnt werden. Und wer einen Menschen aufnimmt, weil dieser nach Gottes Willen lebt, wird denselben Lohn wie dieser empfangen. 42 Wer einen meiner unbedeutendsten Jünger auch nur mit einem Schluck kaltem Wasser erfrischt, weil dieser zu mir gehört, der wird seinen Lohn auf jeden Fall erhalten. Das versichere ich euch!«
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.”

La missione dei dodici apostoli
10 (A)Poi, chiamati a sé i suoi dodici discepoli, diede loro il potere di scacciare gli spiriti immondi e di guarire qualunque malattia e qualunque infermità.
2 I nomi dei dodici apostoli sono questi: il primo, Simone detto Pietro, e Andrea suo fratello; Giacomo di Zebedeo e Giovanni suo fratello; 3 Filippo e Bartolomeo; Tommaso e Matteo il pubblicano; Giacomo d’Alfeo e Taddeo[a]; 4 Simone lo Zelota[b] e Giuda l’Iscariota[c], quello stesso che poi lo tradì.
5 Questi sono i dodici che Gesù mandò, dando loro queste istruzioni: «Non andate tra i pagani e non entrate in nessuna città dei Samaritani, 6 ma andate piuttosto verso le pecore perdute della casa d’Israele. 7 Andando, predicate e dite: “Il regno dei cieli è vicino”. 8 Guarite gli ammalati, risuscitate i morti[d], purificate i lebbrosi, scacciate i demòni; gratuitamente avete ricevuto, gratuitamente date. 9 Non provvedetevi d’oro, né d’argento, né di rame nelle vostre cinture, 10 né di sacca da viaggio, né di due tuniche, né di calzari, né di bastone, perché l’operaio è degno del suo nutrimento.
11 In qualunque città o villaggio sarete entrati, informatevi se vi sia qualcuno degno, e lì rimanete finché partirete. 12 Quando entrerete nella casa, salutatela[e]. 13 Se quella casa ne è degna, venga la vostra pace su di essa; se invece non ne è degna, la vostra pace torni a voi. 14 Se qualcuno non vi riceve né ascolta le vostre parole, uscendo da quella casa o da quella città, scuotete la polvere dai vostri piedi. 15 In verità vi dico che, nel giorno del giudizio, la sorte del paese di Sodoma e Gomorra sarà più tollerabile di quella di tale città.
Le persecuzioni imminenti
16 (B)«Ecco, io vi mando come pecore in mezzo ai lupi; siate dunque prudenti come i serpenti e semplici come le colombe. 17 Guardatevi dagli uomini; perché vi metteranno in mano ai tribunali e vi flagelleranno nelle loro sinagoghe; 18 e sarete condotti davanti a governatori e re per causa mia, per servire di testimonianza davanti a loro e ai pagani. 19 Ma quando vi metteranno nelle loro mani, non preoccupatevi di come parlerete o di quello che dovrete dire; perché in quel momento stesso vi sarà dato ciò che dovrete dire. 20 Poiché non siete voi che parlate, ma è lo Spirito del Padre vostro che parla in voi.
21 Il fratello darà il fratello a morte, e il padre il figlio; i figli insorgeranno contro i genitori e li faranno morire. 22 Sarete odiati da tutti a causa del mio nome; ma chi avrà perseverato sino alla fine sarà salvato. 23 Quando vi perseguiteranno in una città, fuggite in un’altra; perché io vi dico in verità che non avrete finito di percorrere le città d’Israele, prima che il Figlio dell’uomo sia venuto.
24 Un discepolo non è superiore al maestro, né un servo superiore al suo signore. 25 Basti al discepolo essere come il suo maestro e al servo essere come il suo signore. Se hanno chiamato Belzebù[f] il padrone, quanto più chiameranno così quelli di casa sua! 26 Non li temete dunque; perché non c’è niente di nascosto che non debba essere scoperto, né di occulto che non debba essere conosciuto. 27 Quello che io vi dico nelle tenebre, ditelo nella luce; e quello che udite dettovi all’orecchio, predicatelo sui tetti. 28 E non temete coloro che uccidono il corpo, ma non possono uccidere l’anima; temete piuttosto colui che può far perire l’anima e il corpo nella geenna. 29 Due passeri non si vendono per un soldo[g]? Eppure non ne cade uno solo in terra senza il volere del Padre vostro. 30 Quanto a voi, perfino i capelli del vostro capo sono tutti contati. 31 Non temete dunque; voi valete più di molti passeri.
32 Chi dunque mi riconoscerà davanti agli uomini, anch’io riconoscerò lui davanti al Padre mio che è nei cieli. 33 Ma chiunque mi rinnegherà davanti agli uomini, anch’io rinnegherò lui davanti al Padre mio che è nei cieli.
34 Non pensate che io sia venuto a mettere pace sulla terra; non sono venuto a metter pace, ma spada. 35 Perché sono venuto a mettere l’uomo contro suo padre, la figlia contro sua madre e la nuora contro sua suocera; 36 e i nemici dell’uomo saranno quelli stessi di casa sua[h]. 37 Chi ama padre o madre più di me, non è degno di me; e chi ama figlio o figlia più di me, non è degno di me. 38 Chi non prende la sua croce e non viene dietro a me, non è degno di me. 39 Chi avrà trovato la sua vita la perderà; e chi avrà perduto la sua vita per causa mia, la troverà.
40 (C)«Chi riceve voi, riceve me; e chi riceve me, riceve colui che mi ha mandato. 41 Chi riceve un profeta perché è un[i] profeta, riceverà premio di profeta; e chi riceve un giusto perché è un[j] giusto, riceverà premio di giusto. 42 E chi avrà dato da bere anche un solo bicchiere d’acqua fresca a uno di questi piccoli, perché è un[k] discepolo, io vi dico in verità che non perderà affatto il suo premio».
