Matthew:10:5-33
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 .
