And he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal every disease and every infirmity. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother;

James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; Philip and Bartholomew;

Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans;

but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as you go, proclaim, 'The kingdom of heaven has drawn near.'

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received; freely give.

Do not take gold, or silver, or copper for your belts,

nor a bag for the road, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the worker deserves his food. And into whatever town or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you depart. And when you enter the house, greet it.

If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. And whoever will not receive you nor listen to your words, when you leave that house or that town shake off the dust from your feet.

Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.

Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; therefore be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and will flog you in their synagogues;

and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles.

When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how or what you are to speak; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.

For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child; and children will rise up against parents and put them to death. And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.

When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly I tell you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master.

It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household. So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be made known.

What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I also will confess before my Father who is in heaven;

but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

and a person's foes will be those of his own household.

Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

Whoever receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward; and whoever receives a righteous person because he is righteous will receive a righteous person's reward. And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly I tell you, he will by no means lose his reward.
