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.
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.”

馬太福音 10
Revised Chinese Union Version (Traditional Script) Shen Edition
耶穌揀選十二使徒(A)
10 耶穌叫了十二個門徒來，給他們權柄，能驅趕污靈和醫治各樣的疾病。 2 這十二使徒的名字如下：頭一個叫西門（又稱彼得），還有他弟弟安得烈，西庇太的兒子雅各和雅各的弟弟約翰， 3 腓力和巴多羅買，多馬和稅吏馬太，亞勒腓的兒子雅各，和達太， 4 激進黨的西門，還有出賣耶穌的加略人猶大。
耶穌差遣十二使徒(B)
5 耶穌差遣這十二個人出去，吩咐他們說：「外邦人的路，你們不要走；撒瑪利亞人的城，你們不要進； 6 寧可往以色列家迷失的羊那裏去。 7 要邊走邊傳，說『天國近了』。 8 要醫治病人，使死人復活，使痲瘋病人潔淨，把鬼趕出去。你們白白地得來，也要白白地給人。 9 腰袋裏不要帶金銀銅錢； 10 途中不要帶行囊，不要帶兩件內衣，也不要帶鞋子和手杖，因為工人得飲食是應當的。 11 你們無論進哪一城、哪一村，要打聽那裏誰是合適的人，就住在他家，直住到離開的時候。 12 進他家時，要向那家請安。 13 那家若配得平安，你們所求的平安就臨到那家；若不配得，你們所求的平安仍歸你們。 14 凡不接待你們，不聽你們話的人，你們離開那家，或是那城的時候，要跺掉你們腳上的塵土。 15 我實在告訴你們，在審判的日子，所多瑪和蛾摩拉地方所受的，比那城還容易受呢！」
將來的迫害(C)
16 「看哪！我差你們出去，如同羊進入狼羣，所以你們要機警如蛇，純真如鴿。 17 你們要防備那些人，因為他們要把你們交給議會，也要在會堂裏鞭打你們。 18 你們要為我的緣故被送到統治者和君王面前，對他們和外邦人作見證。 19 當人把你們交出時，不要擔心怎樣說話，或說甚麼話。到那時候，必賜給你們該說的話， 20 因為不是你們自己說的，而是你們父的靈在你們裏面說的。 21 兄弟要把兄弟、父親要把兒女置於死地；兒女要起來與父母為敵，害死他們。 22 而且你們要為我的名被眾人憎恨。但堅忍到底的終必得救。 23 有人在這城迫害你們，就逃到另一城去。[a]我實在告訴你們，以色列的城鎮，你們還沒有走遍，人子就要來臨。
24 「學生不高過老師，僕人不高過主人。 25 學生所遭遇的與老師一樣，僕人所遭遇的與主人一樣，也就夠了。既然有人罵一家的主人是『別西卜』[b]，更何況他的家人呢？」
不要懼怕(D)
26 「所以，不要怕他們，因為掩蓋的事沒有不顯露出來的，隱藏的事也沒有不被知道的。 27 我在暗中告訴你們的，你們要在明處說出來；你們耳中所聽的，要在屋頂上宣揚出來。 28 那殺人身體但不能滅人靈魂的，不要怕他們；惟有那能在地獄裏毀滅身體和靈魂的，才要怕他。 29 兩隻麻雀不是賣一銅錢[c]嗎？你們的父若不許，一隻也不會掉在地上。 30 就是你們的頭髮也都數過了。 31 所以，不要懼怕，你們比許多的麻雀還貴重！」
在人的面前認基督(E)
32 「所以，凡在人面前認我的，我在我天上的父面前也必認他； 33 凡在人面前不認我的，我在我天上的父面前也必不認他。」
作門徒的代價(F)
34 「你們不要以為我來是帶給地上和平，我來並不是帶來和平，而是刀劍。 35 因為我來是要叫
『人與父親對立，
女兒與母親對立，
媳婦與婆婆對立。
36 人的仇敵就是自己家裏的人。』
37 愛父母勝過愛我的，不配作我的門徒；愛兒女勝過愛我的，不配作我的門徒。 38 不背自己的十字架跟從我的，不配作我的門徒。 39 得着性命的，要喪失性命；為我喪失性命的，要得着性命。」
論賞賜(G)
40 「接納你們的就是接納我；接納我的就是接納差遣我來的那位。 41 把先知當作先知接納的，必得先知的賞賜；把義人當作義人接納的，必得義人的賞賜。 42 無論誰，只因門徒的名，就算把一杯涼水給這些小子中的一個喝，我實在告訴你們，他一定會得到賞賜。」
Matthæus 10
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
Jesus udsender de 12 apostle(A)
10 Jesus kaldte nu 12 af sine disciple til sig og gav dem autoritet til at uddrive onde ånder og til at helbrede alle slags sygdomme og lidelser. 2 Her er navnene på de 12 apostle: Simon, der senere fik navnet Peter; Andreas, der var bror til Simon; Jakob og Johannes, der var sønner af Zebedæus; 3 Filip; Bartolomæus; Thomas; Mattæus, som var skatteopkræver; Jakob, søn af Alfæus; Taddæus; 4 Simon Frihedskæmper[a] og Judas Iskariot, der senere forrådte Jesus.
5 Derefter sendte Jesus de 12 apostle af sted med følgende instrukser: „I skal ikke tage ind i samaritanernes byer eller gå til de fremmede folkeslag, 6 men gå hellere til de fortabte får af Israels folk. 7 Fortæl dem, at Guds rige nu er kommet. 8 Helbred de syge, oprejs de døde, gør de spedalske raske og driv dæmonerne ud. I har fået det for intet. Giv det for intet. 9 I skal ikke tage penge med, 10 ingen taske med ekstra tøj og sandaler—ja, ikke engang en vandringsstav. Den, der arbejder, har lov til at forvente, at der bliver sørget for ham.
11 Når I kommer ind i en by eller en landsby, så spørg efter en gudfrygtig person, som er villig til at invitere jer indenfor. Bliv i det hjem, indtil I tager videre til den næste by. 12 Når I kommer ind i huset, skal I sige: ‚Fred være med hjemmet her!’ 13 Hvis det virkelig er et gudfrygtigt hjem, så vil jeres fred hvile over det. Hvis ikke, så vil freden vende tilbage til jer. 14 Men hvis der i en by ikke findes en eneste, som vil høre på jer, så ryst byens støv af jeres fødder, når I forlader stedet. 15 Det siger jeg jer: Sodoma og Gomorra med al deres ondskab og ugudelighed vil stå sig bedre på dommens dag end dem, der nægter at tage imod jer.
Forfølgelser forude(B)
16 Jeg sender jer ud som får iblandt ulve. Vær ærlige, men ikke dumdristige. 17-18 I vil blive arresteret og slæbt for retten på grund af jeres tro på mig. I vil blive pisket i synagogerne, og I vil blive anklaget og stillet for både konger og guvernører. Det vil give jer god anledning til at fortælle dem om mig, så budskabet også når ud til den slags folk. 19 Når I bliver stillet for en dommer, så lad være med at spekulere på, hvad I skal sige til jeres forsvar, for I vil få de rette ord i rette tid. 20 Det er nemlig ikke jer, der skal tale—men jeres himmelske Fars Ånd vil tale gennem jer.
21 Søskende vil angive hinanden—også selv om det koster de angivne livet. Forældre vil forråde deres egne børn, og børn vil gå imod deres forældre og være årsag til, at de bliver henrettet. 22 Ja, mange vil hade jer på grund af jeres tro på mig. Men den, der holder ud til det sidste, vil blive frelst. 23 Når forfølgelsen imod jer sætter ind i én by, så flygt videre til den næste, for det siger jeg jer: I når ikke igennem alle Israels byer, før Menneskesønnen kommer.
24 Husk at en lærling ikke står over sin mester—en tjener står ikke over sin herre. 25 Lærlingen må acceptere, at det går ham som hans mester—og tjeneren, at han deler skæbne med sin herre. Når jeg, der er jeres mester, bliver kaldt for Djævelen selv, hvad vil de så ikke kalde jer?
26 Men I skal ikke være bange for dem, for alt, hvad der er skjult nu, vil blive åbenbaret engang. 27 Hvad jeg fortæller jer i det skjulte, skal I fremsige offentligt. Hvad der hviskes jer i øret, skal I proklamere, så alle kan høre det. 28 Vær ikke bange for dem! De kan kun slå kroppen ihjel, men jeres sjæl kan de ikke dræbe. I må hellere frygte ham, som kan sende både krop og sjæl i Helvede.
29 Hvad sælges et par spurve for? Nogle få mønter. Alligevel er der ikke en eneste spurv, som falder til jorden, uden at jeres Far ved om det. 30 Selv hårene på jeres hoved har Gud tal på. 31 Vær ikke bange. I er mere værd end mange spurve.
32 De, der åbent og offentligt vedkender sig mig, vil jeg også åbent vedkende mig over for min Far i Himlen. 33 Men de, der offentligt nægter at kendes ved mig, vil jeg heller ikke kendes ved over for min Far i Himlen.
34 At jeg er kommet til denne jord, betyder ikke, at der fra nu af er fred og ingen fare. Nej, der vil blive splid, helt ind i familiens inderkreds, som der står skrevet:
35 ‚En søn vil vende sig imod sin far,
en datter gøre oprør imod sin mor,
en svigerdatter imod sin svigermor.
36 Man får sin egen familie til fjender.’[b]
37 Den, der elsker sin far eller mor mere end mig, er ikke værdig til at være min discipel. Og den, der elsker sin søn eller datter mere end mig, er ikke værdig til at følge mig. 38 Den, der ikke er villig til at give afkald på sit eget liv[c] for at følge mig, er mig ikke værd. 39 Den, der klamrer sig til livet her på jorden, vil miste det evige liv. Men den, der er parat til at give afkald på sit jordiske liv for min skyld, skal leve for evigt.
40 De, der tager imod jer, tager imod mig. Og de, der tager imod mig, tager imod Gud, som sendte mig. 41 De, der tager imod en profet, fordi profeten er sendt af Gud, skal få samme løn som profeten. Og de, der tager imod et menneske, der tilhører mig, fordi det tilhører mig, skal få samme løn. 42 Det siger jeg jer: Den, der giver bare et glas koldt vand til den ringeste af mine disciple, fordi det er en discipel af mig, skal ikke gå glip af sin løn.”
