      | ¶ | 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. | |
| 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; | ||
| Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; | ||
| Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. | ||
| ¶ | 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: | |
 | But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. | ||
| And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. | ||
| Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. | ||
| Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, | ||
| Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat. | ||
| And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. | ||
| And when ye come into an house, salute it. | ||
| And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. | ||
| 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. | ||
| 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. | ||
| ¶ | Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. | |
| But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; | ||
| And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. | ||
| 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. | ||
| For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. | ||
| 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. | ||
| And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved. | ||
| 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. | ||
| The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant above his lord. | ||
| 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? | ||
| Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known. | ||
| ¶ | What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops. | |
| 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. | ||
 | Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. | ||
| But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. | ||
| Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. | ||
| ¶ | Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. | |
| But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. | ||
| ¶ | Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. | |
| 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. | ||
| And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household. | ||
| 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. | ||
| And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. | ||
| He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. | ||
| ¶ | He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me. | |
| 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. | ||
| 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. |
