Dual Panel1Jesus called <4341> his <846> twelve <1427> disciples <3101> and gave <1325> them <846> authority <1849> over unclean <169> spirits <4151> so <5620> they could cast <1544> them <846> out <1544> and <2532> heal <2323> every <3956> kind of disease and <2532> sickness <3119>.
2Now <1161> these <5023> are <1510> the names <3686> of the twelve <1427> apostles <652>: first <4413>, Simon <4613> (called <3004> Peter <4074>), and <2532> Andrew <406> his <846> brother <80>; James <2385> son of Zebedee <2199> and <2532> John <2491> his <846> brother <80>;
3Philip <5376> and <2532> Bartholomew <918>; Thomas <2381> and <2532> Matthew <3156> the tax collector <5057>; James <2385> the son of Alphaeus <256>, and <2532> Thaddaeus <2280>;
4Simon <4613> the Zealot <2581> and <2532> Judas <2455> Iscariot <2469>, who betrayed <3860> him <846>.
5Jesus <2424> sent out <649> these <5128> twelve <1427>, instructing <3853> them <846> as follows <3004>: “Do not <3361> go <565> to <1519> Gentile <1484> regions <3598> and <2532> do not <3361> enter <1525> any Samaritan <4541> town <4172>.
6Go <4198> instead <3123> to <4314> the lost <622> sheep <4263> of the house <3624> of Israel <2474>.
7As you <2784> go <4198>, preach <2784> this message: ‘The kingdom <932> of heaven <3772> is near <1448>!’
8Heal <2323> the sick <770>, raise <1453> the dead <3498>, cleanse <2511> lepers <3015>, cast out <1544> demons <1140>. Freely <1432> you received <2983>, freely <1432> give <1325>.
9Do not <3361> take <2932> gold <5557>, silver <696>, or <3366> copper <5475> in <1519> your <5216> belts <2223>,
10no <3361> bag <4082> for <1519> the journey <3598>, or <3366> an extra <1417> tunic <5509>, or <3366> sandals <5266> or <3366> staff <4464>, for <1063> the worker <2040> deserves <514> his <846> provisions <5160>.
11Whenever <302> you enter <1525> a town <4172> or <2228> village <2968>, find out <1833> who <5101> is <1510> worthy <514> there <2546> and stay <3306> with <1722> them <846> until <2193> you leave <1831>.
12As you enter <1525> the house <3614>, give <782> it <846> greetings <782>.
13And <2532> if <1437> the house <3614> is <1510> worthy <514>, let your <5216> peace <1515> come <2064> on <1909> it <846>, but <1161> if <1437> it is <1510> not <3361> worthy <514>, let your <5216> peace <1515> return <1994> to <1909> you <5209>.
14And <2532> if anyone <302> will <1209> not <3361> welcome <1209> you <5209> or <3366> listen <191> to your <5216> message <3056>, shake <1621> the dust <2868> off <1621> your <5216> feet <4228> as you leave <1831> <1854> that house <3614> or <2228> that <1565> town <4172>.
15I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, it will be <1510> more bearable <414> for the region <1093> of Sodom <4670> and <2532> Gomorrah <1116> on <1722> the day <2250> of judgment <2920> than <2228> for that <1565> town <4172>!
16“I <1473> am sending <649> you <5209> out <649> like <5613> sheep <4263> surrounded <3319> by <1722> wolves <3074>, so <3767> be <1096> wise <5429> as <5613> serpents <3789> and <2532> innocent <185> as <5613> doves <4058>.
17Beware <4337> of <575> people <444>, because <1063> they will hand <3860> you <5209> over <3860> to <1519> councils <4892> and <2532> flog <3146> you <5209> in <1722> their <846> synagogues <4864>.
18And <2532> you will be brought <71> before <1909> governors <2232> and <2532> kings <935> because of <1752> me <1700>, as <1519> a witness <3142> to them <846> and <2532> the Gentiles <1484>.
19Whenever <3752> they hand <3860> you <5209> over <3860> for trial, do not <3361> worry <3309> about how <4459> to speak <2980> or <2228> what <5101> to say, for <1063> what <5101> you should say <2980> will be given <1325> to you <5213> at <1722> that <1565> time <5610>.
20For <1063> it is <1510> not <3756> you <5210> speaking <2980>, but <235> the Spirit <4151> of your <5216> Father <3962> speaking <2980> through <1722> you <5213>.
21“Brother <80> will hand over <3860> brother <80> to <1519> death <2288>, and <2532> a father <3962> his child <5043>. Children <5043> will rise <1881> against <1909> parents <1118> and <2532> have <2289> them <846> put to death <2289>.
22And <2532> you will be <1510> hated <3404> by <5259> everyone <3956> because of <1223> my <3450> name <3686>. But <1161> the one who endures <5278> to <1519> the end <5056> will be saved <4982>.
23Whenever <3752> they persecute <1377> you <5209> in <1722> one place <4172>, flee <5343> to <1519> another <2087>. I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, you will <5055> not <3756> <3361> finish <5055> going through all the towns <4172> of Israel <2474> before <2193> the Son <5207> of Man <444> comes <2064>.
24“A disciple <3101> is <1510> not <3756> greater than <5228> his teacher <1320>, nor <3761> a slave <1401> greater than <5228> his <846> master <2962>.
25It is enough <713> for the disciple <3101> to <2443> become <1096> like <5613> his <846> teacher <1320>, and <2532> the slave <1401> like <5613> his <846> master <2962>. If <1487> they have called <1941> the head of the house <3617> ‘Beelzebul <954>,’ how much <4214> more <3123> will they defame the members of his <846> household <3615>!
26“Do not <3361> be afraid <5399> of them <846>, for <1063> nothing <3762> is <1510> hidden <2572> that <3739> will <601> not <3756> be revealed <601>, and <2532> nothing is secret <2927> that <3739> will <1097> not <3756> be made known <1097>.
27What <3739> I say <3004> to you <5213> in <1722> the dark <4653>, tell <2036> in <1722> the light <5457>, and <2532> what <3739> is whispered <191> in your ear <3775>, proclaim <2784> from <1909> the housetops <1430>.
28Do not <3361> be afraid <5399> of those who kill <615> the body <4983> but <1161> cannot <3361> <1410> kill <615> the soul <5590>. Instead <1161> <3123>, fear <5399> the one who is able <1410> to destroy <622> both <2532> soul <5590> and <2532> body <4983> in <1722> hell <1067>.
29Aren’t <3780> two <1417> sparrows <4765> sold <4453> for a penny <787>? Yet <2532> not <3756> one <1520> of <1537> them <846> falls <4098> to <1909> the ground <1093> apart from <427> your <5216> Father’s <3962> will.
30Even all <3956> the hairs <2359> on your <5216> head <2776> are <1510> numbered <705>.
31So <3767> do not <3361> be afraid <5399>; you <5210> are more valuable <1308> than many <4183> sparrows <4765>.
32“Whoever <3748>, then <3767>, acknowledges <3670> me <1698> before <1715> people <444>, I <2504> will acknowledge <3670> before <1715> my <3450> Father <3962> in <1722> heaven <3772>.
33But <1161> whoever <3748> denies <720> me <3165> before <1715> people <444>, I <2504> will deny <720> him <846> also <2504> before <1715> my <3450> Father <3962> in <1722> heaven <3772>.
34“Do not <3361> think <3543> that <3754> I have come <2064> to bring <906> peace <1515> to <1909> the earth <1093>. I have <2064> not <3756> come <2064> to bring <906> peace <1515> but <235> a sword <3162>.
35For <1063> I have come <2064> to set <1369> a man <444> against <2596> his <846> father <3962>, a daughter <2364> against <2596> her <846> mother <3384>, and <2532> a daughter-in-law <3565> against <2596> her <846> mother-in-law <3994>,
36and <2532> a man’s <444> enemies <2190> will be the members of <3615> his <846> household <3615>.
37“Whoever loves <5368> father <3962> or <2228> mother <3384> more than <5228> me <1691> is <1510> not <3756> worthy <514> of me <3450>, and <2532> whoever loves <5368> son <5207> or <2228> daughter <2364> more than <5228> me <1691> is <1510> not <3756> worthy <514> of me <3450>.
38And <2532> whoever <3739> does not <3756> take up <2983> his <846> cross <4716> and <2532> follow <190> <3694> me <3450> is <1510> not <3756> worthy <514> of me <3450>.
39Whoever finds <2147> his <846> life <5590> will lose <622> it <846>, and <2532> whoever loses <622> his <846> life <5590> because of <1752> me <1700> will find <2147> it <846>.
40“Whoever receives <1209> you <5209> receives <1209> me <1691>, and <2532> whoever receives <1209> me <1691> receives <1209> the one who sent <649> me <3165>.
41Whoever receives <1209> a prophet <4396> in <1519> the name <3686> of a prophet <4396> will receive <2983> a prophet’s <4396> reward <3408>. Whoever receives <1209> a righteous person <1342> in <1519> the name <3686> of a righteous person <1342> will receive <2983> a righteous person’s <1342> reward <3408>.
42And <2532> whoever <3739> <302> gives <4222> only <3440> a cup <4221> of cold water <5593> to one <1520> of these <5130> little <3398> ones in <1519> the name <3686> of a disciple <3101>, I tell <3004> you <5213> the truth <281>, he will <622> never <3756> <3361> lose <622> his <846> reward <3408>.”
