Andwhen he had called unto him histwelvedisciples, he gavethempower against uncleanspirits, tocast them out, andto healall mannerof sicknessandall mannerof disease. Nowthenamesof thetwelveapostlesarethese; The first, Simon, who is calledPeter, andAndrewhisbrother; Jamesthe son of Zebedee, andJohnhisbrother; Philip, andBartholomew; Thomas, andMatthewthepublican; Jamesthe son of Alphaeus, andLebbaeuswhose surname wasThaddaeus; SimontheCanaanite, andJudasIscariot, who also betrayedhim. ThesetwelveJesussent forth, and commandedthem, saying, Gonotinto the way of the Gentiles, andinto any city of the Samaritansenter ye not: Butgoratherto the lostsheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, Thekingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast outdevils: freely ye have received, freelygive. Provideneithergold, norsilver, norbrassinyourpurses, Norscripfor your journey, neithertwocoats, neithershoes, nor yet staves: fortheworkmanisworthy of hismeat. Andintowhatsoevercityortown ye shall enter, inquirewhoinitisworthy; and thereabide till yego thence. And when ye comeinto a house, saluteit. Andifthehousebeworthy, let yourpeacecomeuponit: but if it be notworthy, let yourpeacereturntoyou. Andwhosoever shall notreceiveyou, norhearyourwords, when ye depart out of thathouseorcity, shake offthedust of yourfeet. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of SodomandGomorrahin the day of judgment, than for thatcity. Behold, I send you forthassheepin the midst of wolves: be ye thereforewiseasserpents, andharmlessasdoves. Butbewareofmen: for they will deliver you upto the councils, and they will scourgeyouintheirsynagogues; And ye shall bebroughtbeforegovernorsandkings for my sake, for a testimony against themandtheGentiles. Butwhen they deliver you up, take no thoughthoworwhat ye shall speak: for it shall be givenyouin that samehourwhat ye shall speak. For it isnotye that speak, buttheSpirit of yourFather which speakethinyou. And the brother shall deliver up the brothertodeath, and the father the child: and the children shall rise upagainst their parents, and cause them to be put to death. And ye shall behatedofall men for my name's sake: but he that endurethto the end shall besaved. Butwhen they persecuteyouinthiscity, flee ye intoanother: forverily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone overthecities of Israel, tilltheSon of man be come. The discipleisnotabove his master, nor the servantabovehislord. It is enough for thedisciplethat he beashismaster, andtheservantashislord. If they have calledthe master of the houseBeelzebub, how muchmore shall they call them of his household? Fearthemnottherefore: for there isnothingcovered, that shall not be revealed; andhid, that shall not be known. What I tellyouindarkness, that speak ye inlight: andwhat ye hearintheear, that preach ye uponthehousetops. Andfearnot them which killthebody, but are notable to killthesoul: butratherfear him which is able to destroybothsoulandbodyinhell. Are nottwosparrowssold for a farthing? andoneofthem shall notfallonthegroundwithoutyourFather. Buttheveryhairs of yourheadareallnumbered. Fear ye nottherefore, ye are of more value than manysparrows. Whosoevertherefore shall confessmebeforemen, him will I confess alsobeforemyFatherwhich is inheaven. Butwhosoever shall denymebeforemen, him will I alsodenybeforemyFatherwhich is inheaven. Thinknotthat I am come to sendpeaceonearth: I camenot to sendpeace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at varianceagainsthisfather, and the daughteragainsthermother, and the daughter-in-law againsthermother-in-law. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household. He that lovethfatherormothermore than meisnotworthy of me: and he that lovethsonordaughtermore than meisnotworthy of me. Andhe that takethnothiscross, andfollowethafterme, isnotworthy of me. He that findethhislife shall loseit: and he that losethhislife for my sake shall findit. He that receivethyoureceivethme, and he that receivethmereceiveth him that sentme. He that receiveth a prophetin the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous manin the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. Andwhosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water onlyin the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wiselosehisreward.
