Mattithyahu (Matthew) 10:1-20 TS2009

And having called His twelve taught ones near, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every bodily weakness. And these are the names of the twelve emissaries: first, Shim‛on, who is called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother; Philip and Bartholomi; T’oma and Mattithyahu the tax collector; Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Alphai, and Laḇai whose last name was Taddai; Shim‛on the Kena‛anite, and Yehuḏah from Qerioth, who did also deliver Him up. יהושע sent these twelve out, having commanded them, saying, “Do not go into the way of the nations, and do not enter a city of the Shomeronim, but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Yisra’ĕl. “And as you go, proclaim, saying, ‘The reign of the heavens has drawn near.’ “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. You have received without paying, give without being paid. “Do not acquire gold or silver or copper for your money-belts, or a bag for the journey, or two undergarments, or sandals, or staffs, for the worker is worthy of his food. “And into whatever city or village you enter, ask who is worthy in it, and stay there until you leave. “And as you enter into a house, greet it. “And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. “And whoever does not receive you nor hear your words, when you leave that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. “Truly, I say to you, it shall be more bearable for the land of Seḏom and Amorah in the day of judgment than for that city! “See, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. “But beware of men, for they shall deliver you up to sanhedrins and flog you in their congregations. “And you shall be brought before governors and sovereigns for My sake, as a witness to them and to the nations. “But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it shall be given to you in that hour what you shall speak, for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.
