10:1  And he called his twelve disciples and he gave them authority over foul spirits to cast them out, and to heal every ailment and disease.
10:2  But the names of the twelve Apostles were these: the first of them, Shimeon who was called Kaypha, and Andraeus his brother, and Yaqob Bar Zebedee, and Yohannan his brother,
10:3  And Philippus, Bar Tolmay, and Thoma, and Mattay the Tax Collector, and Yaqob Bar Halphi, and Lebai who was called Thadi,
10:4  And Shimeon The Zealot, and Yehuda Skariota, he who betrayed him.
10:5  These twelve Yeshua sent and he commanded them and he said, “You shall not go by a road of the heathen and you shall not enter a city of the Samaritans.”
10:6  “But go especially to the sheep that have been lost of the house of Israel.”
10:7  “And as you are going, preach and say “The Kingdom of Heaven has come near.”
10:8  “Heal the sick, purify the lepers and cast out demons; freely you have received, freely give.”
10:9  “You shall not retain gold, neither silver, nor copper in your moneybags,”
10:10  “Neither wallet for the way, nor two coats, neither shoes, nor staff, for a laborer is worthy of his provisions.”
10:11  “Whichever city or village you enter, ask who is worthy in it and stay there until you leave.”
10:12  “And when you enter a household, invoke the peace of the household.”
10:13  “And if that household is worthy, your blessing of peace will come upon it, but if not, your blessing of peace will return unto you.”
10:14  “But whoever does not receive you, neither listens to your words, when you depart from the house or from the village, shake the sand from your feet.”
10:15  “And truly I say to you, it will be tranquil in the day of judgment for the land of Sadom and Ammora compared to that city.”
10:16  “Behold, I am sending you as lambs among wolves; be therefore crafty as snakes and innocent as doves.”
10:17  “But beware of the children of men, for they will deliver you to the courts and they will scourge you in their synagogues.”
10:18  “And they will bring you before Governors and Kings because of me, for their testimony and that of the Gentiles.”
10:19  “But when they arrest you, do not be anxious how or what you will speak, for it will be given to you in that hour what you should say.”
10:20  “For it will not be you speaking, but The Spirit of your Father speaking in you.”
10:21  “But brother will deliver his brother to death, and a father his son, and children will rise against their parents and will put them to death.”
10:22  “And you will be hated by everyone because of my name, but whoever will endure until the end, he will be saved.”
10:23  “But when they persecute you in this city, flee to another, for truly I say to you, you will not have finished all the cities of the house of Israel until The Son of Man come.”
10:24  “No disciple is greater than his master, neither a servant than his lord.”
10:25  “It is enough for a disciple to be like his master and for a servant to be like his lord. If they have called the lord of the house Beelzebub, how much more the children of his household?”
10:26  “Therefore you shall not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden, that will not be known.”
10:27  “Whatever I tell you in the darkness, say it in the light, and whatever you hear with your ears, preach on the rooftops.”
10:28  “And you shall not be afraid of those who kill the body that are not able to kill the soul; rather be afraid of him who can destroy soul and body in Gehenna.”
10:29  “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny, and not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father?”
10:30  “But your hairs of your head are all numbered.”
10:31  “You shall not be afraid, therefore; you are better than many sparrows.”
10:32  “Everyone, therefore, who will confess me before children of men, I shall confess him also before my Father who is in Heaven.
10:33  But whoever will deny me before the children of men, I shall deny him also before my Father who is in Heaven.
10:34  Think not that I have come to bring peace in the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
10:35  I have come to divide a man against his father and a daughter against her mother and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
10:36  And a man's enemies will be the members of his household.
10:37  Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
10:38  And everyone who does not take his cross and come after me is not worthy of me.
10:39  Whoever will lose his life for my sake will find it; whoever will find his life will lose it.
10:40  Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me.
10:41  Whoever receives a Prophet in the name of a Prophet receives the reward of the Prophet, and whoever receives The Righteous One in the name of The Righteous One receives the reward of The Righteous One.
10:42  “And everyone who gives one of these little ones a cup of cold water only to drink, in the name of a disciple, amen, I say to you, he will not lose his reward.”
