6But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
9Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:
9Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.
10Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.
10Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.
11And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.
11Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.
12And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.
12As you enter the home, greet its occupants.
13And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
13If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.
14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

18And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles:
18On My account, you will be brought before governors and kings as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles.
19But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak.
19But when they hand you over, do not worry about how to respond or what to say. In that hour you will be given what to say.
20For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.
20For it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death.

23And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.

24The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord.
24A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.
25It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the goodman of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?
25It is enough for a disciple to be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
26Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.
26So do not be afraid of them. For there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, and nothing hidden that will not be made known.
27That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
27What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.
28And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.
28Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
29Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father.
30But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
30And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.
31So do not be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
32Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
32Therefore everyone who confesses Me before men, I will also confess him before My Father in heaven.
33But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
33But whoever denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father in heaven.
34Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.
34Do not assume that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.
35For I came 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.
35For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
36And as a man’s enemies shall be they of his own household.
36A man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’
37He 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.
37Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me;
38And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
38and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
39He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
39Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for My sake will find it.
40He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
40He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives the One who sent Me.
41He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.
41Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.
42And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.
