Matthew 10
10
1 He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2Now the names of the twelve emissaries are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; Jacob the son of Zebedee; Yochanan, his brother; 3Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; Jacob the son of Halfai; Labbai, who was also called#10:3 NU omits “Labbai, who was also called” Taddai; 4Simon the Zealot; and Judah Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5Yeshua sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans. 6Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7As you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,#10:8 TR adds “raise the dead,” and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give. 9Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts. 10Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. 11Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on. 12As you enter into the household, greet it. 13If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you. 14Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet. 15Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you. 18Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations. 19But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say. 20For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
21 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved. 23But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.
24 “A disciple is not above his rabbi, nor a servant above his lord. 25It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul,#10:25 Literally, Lord of the Flies, or the devil how much more those of his household! 26Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops. 28Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehinnom.#10:28 or, Hell.
29 “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? # 10:29 An assarion is a small coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius. An assarion is approximately the wages of one half hour of agricultural labor. Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows. 32Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven. 33But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
34 “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword. 35For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36A man’s foes will be those of his own household.#Micah 7:6 37He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me. 38He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me. 39He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.
40 “He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. 41He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward. 42Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”

Mattityahu 10
10
1And summoning his Shneym Asar (Twelve) Talmidim, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach gave to them samchut (authority) over shedim (unclean spirits), so as to cast them out, and samchut (authority) to call forth refuah for every machla and every illness.
2Now of the Shneym Asar Shlichim, the names are these: first, Shim'on, the one being called Kefa, and Andrew his brother, Ya'akov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan his brother,
3Philippos and Bar-Talmai, T'oma and Mattityahu the moches, Ya'akov Ben-Chalfai and Taddai,
4Shim'on the Zealot and Yehudah from K'riot, who betrayed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
5These Shneym Asar (Twelve) did Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach send out with the following directives, saying: In the Derech HaGoyim (Way of the Gentiles, Gentile territory) do not go, and do not enter into any Shomron town,
6but go rather to the Seh Oveid Beis Yisroel (the Lost Sheep of the House of Israel).
7And, while going, preach that the Malchut HaShomayim is imminent and miyad.
8Heal the cholim, raise the mesim, cleanse the metzoraim (lepers), cast out the shedim; freely you received, freely give.
9Take neither gold nor silver nor copper for your money belts,
10nor a schnorrerʼs (beggarʼs) bag for the road, nor two bekishe, nor sandals, nor a staff, for the oseh hamelachah (the one doing the work) is worthy of his lechem.
11And into whichever town or shtetl you enter, inquire who in it is a ben chayil (son of worthiness), and there remain until you leave.
12And when you enter into the bais (house), give that household your “Shalom”!
13And if indeed the bais is a bais chayil (a house of worthiness), let your shalom come upon it; but if it is not a bais chayil, let your shalom return to you.
14And whoever neither receives you nor listens to your divrei,#10:14 Moshiach as you are leaving and as you go outside of that bais (house) or city, then let it be NIER CHATZNO (shake out the fold of the robe),#10:14 i.e., wash ones hands of shake off the dust of your feet.
15Omein, I say to you, it will be more tolerable on Yom HaDin (the Day of Judgment) for S'dom and Amora than for that shtetl.
16Hinei! I send you as kevesim (sheep) in the midst of ze'evim; therefore, have the seichel (intelligence) of nachashim (serpents) and be tamim (faultless) as yonim (doves).
17And beware of Bnei Adam, for they will deliver you up to the sanhedriyot (local councils, bet din courts) and in their shuls they will subject you to the shot (whip).
18And before moshelim (governors) and also melachim (kings) you will be led for my sake,#10:18 for the sake of Moshiach for an edut (testimony) to them and to the Goyim.
19But when they deliver you up, do not be of a LEV ROGEZ#10:19 Dt 28:65 (anxious heart) worried about how or what you are to say; for it will be given to you in that hour what you are to speak.
20For you are not the ones speaking, but the Ruach Avichem (the Spirit of your Father) is the one speaking in you.
21And brother will deliver up to death his own brother, even an abba his own yeled. And yeladim will stand up against their horim (parents) and put them to death.
22And you will be under the sinas chinom (baseless hatred) of kol Bnei Adam on account of my Name; but the one enduring ad es HaKetz (until the End) will receive the Yeshu'at Eloheinu (the Salvation of our G-d).
23But when they persecute you in one shtetl, flee to the other; for, omein, I say to you, by no means will you complete the shtetlach of Eretz Yisroel until the Bias HaMoshiach#10:23 Dan 7:13 (Coming of the Moshiach, the Bar Enosh).
24A talmid is not above his Rebbe nor an eved (servant) above his Baal Bayit (master).
25It is enough for the talmid that he be like his Rebbe, and the eved like his Baal Bayit. If they called the Baal Bayit Baal-zibbul, how much more the anashim (men) in his bais.
26Therefore, do not fear them; for nothing has been veiled which will not be unveiled; and nothing has been nistar (hidden) which will not be made known.
27What I say to you in the choshech (darkness), you declare in the ohr (light); and what you hear whispered into your ears, shout, preach, from the rooftops.
28And do not fear those who kill the basar (flesh), but are unable to kill the nefesh (soul); but rather fear the One who is able to destroy both basar and nefesh in Gehinnom.
29Are not two sparrows sold for the least valuable copper coin? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from Avichem!
30But, as far as you are concerned, even the hairs of your rosh have been inventoried.
31Therefore, al taarotz (do not be afraid)! You are of more value than many sparrows!
32Therefore, everyone who shall declare publicly the Ani Maamin hoda'ah of me,#10:32 as Moshiach before Bnei HaAdam, I will make hoda'ah (acknowledgment) of him before Avi shbaShomayim.
33But everyone who makes hakhchashah (denial) of me,#10:33 as Moshiach I also will make hakhchashah (denial) of him before Avi shbaShomayim.
34Do not think that I have come to bring shalom al haaretz (peace on the earth); I have not come to bring shalom but a cherev (sword).
35For I came to divide a man against his Av, and a bat against her Em, and a kallah (bride) against her chamot (mother-in-law, shviger).
36And the OIYVEI ISH ANSHEI VEITO#10:36 Mic 7:6 (the enemies of a man will be the members of his own household).
37The one who has more ahavah (love) for a tata (papa) or a mama than for me#10:37 Moshiach is not worthy of me,#10:37 Moshiach and the one who has more ahavah (love) for a ben or a bat than me is not worthy of me.
38The one who does not take up his etz shel mesiros nefesh (tree of self-sacrifice) and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
39The one who has found his nefesh will lose it; the one who has lost his nefesh for my sake#10:39 lemaan Moshiach will find it.
40The one who gives the kabbalat panim (welcome) to you gives the Baruch Habah (welcome) to me,#10:40 to Moshiach and the one who gives the Baruch Habah to me#10:40 Moshiach gives the Baruch Habah to the One#10:40 Elohim HaAv who sent me.
41The one who gives the Baruch Habah to a navi (prophet) in the name of a navi will receive the sachar (reward) of a navi, and the one who gives the Baruch Habah to a tzaddik (righteous man) in the name of a tzaddik will receive the sachar of a tzaddik.
42And whoever in the name of a talmid#10:42 of Moshiach gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones,#10:42 the least of the talmidim of Moshiach omein, I say to you, he will by no means lose his sachar.
