10:1  Yeshua called his twelve talmidim and gave them authority to drive out unclean spirits and to heal every kind of disease and weakness.
10:2  These are the names of the twelve emissaries: First, Shim‘on, called Kefa, and Andrew his brother, Ya‘akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan his brother,
10:3  Philip and Bar-Talmai, T’oma and Mattityahu the tax-collector, Ya‘akov Bar-Halfai and Taddai,
10:4  Shim‘on the Zealot, and Y’hudah from K’riot, who betrayed him.
10:5  These twelve Yeshua sent out with the following instructions: “Don’t go into the territory of the Goyim, and don’t enter any town in Shomron,
10:6  but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Isra’el.
10:7  As you go, proclaim, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is near,’
10:8  heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those afflicted with tzara’at, expel demons. You have received without paying, so give without asking payment.
10:9  Don’t take money in your belts, no gold, no silver, no copper;
10:10  and for the trip don’t take a pack, an extra shirt, shoes or a walking stick — a worker should be given what he needs.
10:11  “When you come to a town or village, look for someone trustworthy and stay with him until you leave.
10:12  When you enter someone’s household, say, ‘Shalom aleikhem!’
10:13  If the home deserves it, let your shalom rest on it; if not, let your shalom return to you.
10:14  But if the people of a house or town will not welcome you or listen to you, leave it and shake its dust from your feet!
10:15  Yes, I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the Day of Judgment for the people of S’dom and ‘Amora than for that town!
10:16  “Pay attention! I am sending you out like sheep among wolves, so be as prudent as snakes and as harmless as doves.
10:17  Be on guard, for there will be people who will hand you over to the local Sanhedrins and flog you in their synagogues.
10:18  On my account you will be brought before governors and kings as a testimony to them and to the Goyim.
10:19  But when they bring you to trial, do not worry about what to say or how to say it; when the time comes, you will be given what you should say.
10:20  For it will not be just you speaking, but the Spirit of your heavenly Father speaking through you.
10:21  “A brother will betray his brother to death, and a father his child; children will turn against their parents and have them put to death.
10:22  Everyone will hate you because of me, but whoever holds out till the end will be preserved from harm.
10:23  When you are persecuted in one town, run away to another. Yes indeed; I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Isra’el before the Son of Man comes.
10:24  “A talmid is not greater than his rabbi, a slave is not greater than his master.
10:25  It is enough for a talmid that he become like his rabbi, and a slave like his master. Now if people have called the head of the house Ba‘al-Zibbul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!
10:26  So do not fear them; for there is nothing covered that will not be uncovered, or hidden that will not be known.
10:27  What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim on the housetops.
10:28  “Do not fear those who kill the body but are powerless to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who can destroy both soul and body in Gei-Hinnom.
10:29  Aren’t sparrows sold for next to nothing, two for an assarion? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s consent.
10:30  As for you, every hair on your head has been counted.
10:31  So do not be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows.
10:32  “Whoever acknowledges me in the presence of others I will also acknowledge in the presence of my Father in heaven.
10:33  But whoever disowns me before others I will disown before my Father in heaven.
10:34  “Don’t suppose that I have come to bring peace to the Land. It is not peace I have come to bring, but a sword!
10:35  For I have come to set
10:36  a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, so that a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.
10:37  Whoever loves his father or mother more than he loves me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than he loves me is not worthy of me.
10:38  And anyone who does not take up his execution-stake and follow me is not worthy of me.
10:39  Whoever finds his own life will lose it, but the person who loses his life for my sake will find it.
10:40  “Whoever receives you is receiving me, and whoever receives me is receiving the One who sent me.
10:41  Anyone who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive the reward a prophet gets, and anyone who receives a tzaddik because he is a tzaddik will receive the reward a tzaddik gets.
10:42  Indeed, if someone gives just a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my talmid — yes! — I tell you, he will certainly not lose his reward!”
