KJV Matthew 10 Chapter
10:1
And when he had called unto [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power [against] unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
10:2
Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;
10:3
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James [the son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
10:4
Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
10:5
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into [any] city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
10:6
But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
10:7
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
10:8
Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
10:9
Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
10:10
Nor scrip for [your] journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
10:11
And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
10:12
And when ye come into an house, salute it.
10:13
And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
10:14
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
10:15
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
10:16
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
10:17
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
10:18
And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
10:19
But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
10:20
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
10:21
And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against [their] parents, and cause them to be put to death.
10:22
And ye shall be hated of all [men] for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
10:23
But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
10:24
The disciple is not above [his] master, nor the servant above his lord.
10:25
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more [shall they call] them of his household?
10:26
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
10:27
What I tell you in darkness, [that] speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, [that] preach ye upon the housetops.
10:28
And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
10:29
Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
10:30
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
10:31
Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
10:32
Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
10:33
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
10:34
Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
10:35
For I am come 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.
10:36
And a man's foes [shall be] they of his own household.
10:37
He 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.
10:38
And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
10:39
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
10:40
He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
10:41
He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
10:42
And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold [water] only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
