Matthew 10

Jesus Sends Out the 12 Disciples
1Jesus called for his 12 disciples and gave them authority to drive out demons and heal every kind of disease and sickness.
2Here are the names of the 12 apostles.
First, Simon (also called Peter) and his brother Andrew;
then James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John;
3Philip and Bartholomew;
Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;
James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus.
5Jesus sent these 12 out with the following orders. “Don’t go among the Gentiles and don’t enter any town where the Samaritans live. 6Instead, go to the lost sheep of Israel. 7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ 8Heal the sick, bring the dead back to life, make those who have skin diseases clean again, and drive out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.
9“Don’t take any gold, silver, or copper coins with you in your belts. 10Don’t bring a bag for the journey, or any extra clothes or sandals or a walking stick. A worker deserves to be given what’s needed. 11When you enter a town or village, look for a person who’s willing to welcome you, and stay at their house until you leave. 12As you enter their home, give it your blessing of peace. 13If the home deserves it, your peace will rest upon it; if it doesn’t deserve it, your peace will return to you. 14Some people may not welcome you or listen to your words. If they don’t, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. 15Truly I tell you, on judgment day it will be easier for Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
16“I’m sending you out like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as snakes and as harmless as doves. 17Be careful who you trust! You’ll be turned over to the local courts and whipped in the synagogues. 18You’ll be put on trial before governors and kings because of me, as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19But when they arrest you, don’t worry about what you’ll say or how to say it. You’ll be given the right words at the time. 20It won’t even be you speaking. The Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.
21“Brothers will betray brothers to those who want to kill them, and fathers will betray their children. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. 22Everyone will hate you because of me. But anyone who stands firm to the end will be saved. 23If people attack you in one place, escape to another. Truly I tell you, you won’t finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
24“The student isn’t greater than the teacher, and the slave isn’t greater than the master. 25It’s enough for students to be like their teachers and for slaves to be like their masters. If the head of the household has been called Beelzebul, the prince of demons, what should the others who live in the house expect to be called?
26“Don’t be afraid of your enemies. Everything that’s now secret will be brought out into the open and everything that’s hidden will be revealed. 27Repeat in the daylight what I tell you in the dark, and shout from the rooftops what is whispered in your ear. 28Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body but can’t kill the soul. Instead, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29Aren’t two sparrows sold for only a penny? But not one of them falls to the ground without your Father being aware of it. 30He even knows every hair on your head! 31So don’t be afraid; you’re worth more than many sparrows.
32“If anyone tells others that they know me, I’ll tell my Father in heaven that I know them. 33But if anyone denies that they know me, I’ll tell my Father in heaven that I don’t know them.
34“Don’t think that I’ve come to bring peace to the earth. I haven’t come to bring peace, but a sword. 35I’ve come to turn
“ ‘sons against their fathers,
daughters against their mothers,
and daughters-in-law against their mothers-in-law.
36A man’s enemies will be the members of his own family.’
37“Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. Anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38Whoever doesn’t pick up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39Whoever finds their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life because of me will find it.
40“Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. 41If someone welcomes a prophet because they’re a prophet, that person will receive a prophet’s reward. If someone welcomes a godly person because they’re godly, that person will receive a godly person’s reward. 42And if someone even gives a cup of cold water to a little one who follows me, truly I tell you, that person will be rewarded.”

Matthew 10
10
1Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] called his twelve disciples and gave them power over every unclean Spirit [Ruach] to cast them out from man and to heal every sickness and every plague.
2These are the names of the twelve apostles: Shim’on [he has heard] called Kefa [pebble] and Andrew [of a man] his brother.
3Philip [friend of horses] and Bar- Talmai [abounding in furrows] and Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] and Yochanan [Yah is gracious] his brother, sons of Zavdai [Yah has bestowed]. T’oma [twin] and Mattityahu [gift of Yah], who by reputation was a lender of money for interest. Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] Bar-Halfai [son of “changing”] and Y’hudah [Praise].
4Shim’on [he has heard] the Kenani [merchant] and Y’hudah [praised] From K’riot [cities], who after this betrayed him.
5These twelve Yeshua [God is Salvation] sent. He commanded them saying: “To the lands of the Goyim [Gentiles] do not go and do not enter into the cities of the Samaritans”.
6“Go to the sheep who have strayed from the house of Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God]”.
7“Preach to them that the Kingdom of heaven will be fulfilled”.
8“Heal the sick, restore life to the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons from men. Do not take wages. Freely you have received, freely you shall give”.
9“Do not heap up silver and gold; nor have wealth in your purse”,
10“nor change of clothes, nor shoes, nor a staff in your hand. The workman is worthy to receive enough for his food”.
11“In every city and in every town that you enter ask who is the good man among them and there remain until you go out”.
12“When you enter into the house, give to them a shalom saying: Shalom to this house; shalom to all who dwell in it”.
13“If that house should be worthy, your shalom will come upon it, but if it is not worthy, your shalom will return to you”.
14“If one does not receive you or listen to you, you shall go out from that house and shake off the dust from your feet”.
15“Truly I say unto you, it will be better for Sodom [burnt] and Gomorrah in the judgment day than for that city”.
16“Behold I send you like sheep in the midst of wolves. Be as crafty as serpents and humble as doves”.
17“Beware of men. They will not deliver you up in their congregations and houses of assembly”,
18“but to governors and kings. You will be able bear witness on my behalf to them and to the Goyim [Gentiles]”.
19“When they seize you, do not consider what you will say, because in the hour that you are in need an answer will come to you”.
20“It will not be you who speak, but Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit [Ruach]) of my Father will speak through you”.
21“Brother will deliver up brother to death and a father his son; the sons will rise up against their fathers and lead them unto death”.
22“You will become a ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats) and a fright to all the nations because of my name. Whoever endures, however, until the time of the end will be saved”.
23Again Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “When they pursue you in this city flee to another; truly I say to you, you will not have completed for yourselves the cities of Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God] before the Son of Man comes”.
24“No disciple is greater than his Rabbi, nor is the slave greater than his Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth]”.
25“It is sufficient for the disciple to be like his Rabbi and for the slave to be like his Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth]. If they call the Adon [Lord - Kurios of the earth] of the house Ba’al-zevuv [Lord - Kurios of the Flies], so much the more the sons of his house”.
26“Do not fear them, because there is nothing which will not be seen, nor hidden which will not be made known”.
27“That which I say to you in the darkness, say it in the light; that which you hear by the ear, tell it in the council place”.
28“Do not fear those who kill bodies, who have no power to kill souls; but fear The One who has power to destroy the soul and body in Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]”.
29“Are not two sparrows sold for a small coin and not one of them will fall to the earth without the will of your Father Who is in heaven?”
30“Are not all the hairs of your head numbered?”
31“Do not fear, because you are more precious than the sparrows”.
32“He who confesses me before men I will confess before my Father Who is in heaven”.
33“He who denies me before men, I will deny before my father Who is in heaven”.
34In that hour Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to put peace on the earth, but a sword”.
35“I have come to separate mankind, the son from his father and the daughter from her mother”.
36“The enemy is to be loved ones”.
37“He who loves his father and his mother more than me, I am not suitable for him”.
39“He who loves his life will lose it, he who loses it for my sake will find it”.
40“He who receives you, receives me and he who receives me, receives the One Who sent me”.
41“He who receives a prophet in the name of ‘a prophet’, will receive the reward of the prophet; he who receives a righteous one in the name of ‘a righteous one’, will receive the reward of the righteous one”.
42“He who gives a vessel of cold water to one of my little disciples in the name of ‘my disciple’, truly I say to you that he will not lose his reward”.
