| [2]And the names of those twelve Legates are these: The first of them, Simon who is called Cephas, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; |
[2]Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these. The first is Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother: James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother. |
| [3]and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Thomas, and Matthew the publican; and James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was called Thaddeus; |

| [5]These twelve Jesus sent forth: and he commanded them and said: Go not in the way of the Gentiles: and enter not the cities of the Samaritans. |
[5]These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter ye not: |
| [6]But, go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. |
[6]But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. |
| [7]And as ye go, proclaim and say: The kingdom of heaven hath approached. |
[7]And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. |
| [8]Heal ye the sick; cleanse the leprous; [raise the dead;] and cast out demons. Freely ye have received; freely give. |

| [9]Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; |
[9]Possess not gold, nor silver, nor money in your girdles, |
| [10]nor a wallet for the journey: neither two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer is worthy of his food. |
[10]Nor a script for the journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his meat. |
| [11]And into whatever city or town ye enter, inquire, who in it is worthy; and there stay until ye depart. |
[11]And into whatsoever city or town ye shall come, inquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence. |
| [12]And when ye enter a house, salute the household. |
[12]And when ye come into a house, salute the same. |
| [13]And if the house be worthy, your peace will come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace will return upon yourselves. |
[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. |
| [14]And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your discourses, when ye depart from that house or that town, shake off the dust from your feet. |
[14]And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. |
| [15]Verily I say to you, that it will be comfortable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, rather than for that city. |
[15]Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for them of the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment, then for that city. |
| [16]Behold, I send you forth as sheep among wolves. Therefore be ye sagacious as serpents, and guileless as doves. |
[16]Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doves. |
| [17]And beware of men; for they will deliver you over to the tribunals, and will scourge you in their synagogues. |
[17]But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to the Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues. |
| [18]And they will bring you before governors and kings, on my account, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. |
[18]And ye shall be brought to the governors and Kings for my sake, in witness to them, and to the Gentiles. |
| [19]And when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given you in that hour what to say. |
[19]But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour, what ye shall say. |
| [20]For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your Father speaking in you. |
[20]For it is not ye that speak, but the spirit of your father which speaketh in you. |
| [21]And brother shall deliver up his brother to death, and a father his son; and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to die. |
[21]And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the son, and the children shall rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die. |
| [22]And ye shall be hated by every one, on account of my name. But he that shall endure to the end, shall have life. |
[22]And ye shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saved. |
| [23]And when they persecute you in one city, flee to another: for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed all the cities of the house of Israel, till the Son of man shall come. |
[23]And when they persecute you in this city, flee into another: for verily I say unto you, ye shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come. |
| [24]No disciple is better than his rabbi; nor a servant, than his lord. |
[24]The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his Lord. |
| [25]It is sufficient for the disciple, that he be as his rabbi; and the servant, as his lord. If they call the lord of the house Beelzebub, how much more the children of his family? |
[25]It is enough for the disciple to be as his master is, and the servant as his Lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household? |
| [26]Therefore be not afraid of them; for there is nothing covered up, that shall not be exposed; nor concealed, that shall not become known. |
[26]Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be known. |
| [27]Whatever I say to you in the dark, that speak ye in the light; and what ye have heard in your ears, proclaim ye on the housetops. |
[27]What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye on the houses. |
| [28]And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but be afraid rather of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. |
[28]And fear ye 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. |
| [29]Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? Yet one of them doth not fall to the ground without your Father. |
[29]Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing, and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father? |
| [30]As for you, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. |
[30]Yea, and all the hairs of your head are numbered. |
| [31]Therefore be not afraid: ye are more important than many sparrows. |
[31]Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows. |
| [32]Wherefore, whoever shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. |
[32]Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father, which is in heaven. |
| [33]But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven. |
[33]But whosoever shall deny me before me, him will I also deny before my Father, which is in heaven. |
| [34]Think not that I have come to sow quietness on the earth: I have not come to sow quietness, but conflict. |
[34]Think not that I am come to send peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword. |
| [35]For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. |
[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. |
| [36]And a man's foes will be the members of his household. |
[36]And a mans enemies shall be they of his own household. |
| [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: |
[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. |
| [38]and he that doth not bear his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. |
[38]And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. |
| [39]He that preserveth his life, shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall preserve it. |
[39]He that will save his life, shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall save it. |
| [40]He that entertaineth you, entertaineth me: and he that entertaineth me, entertaineth him that sent me. |
[40]He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that hath sent me. |
| [41]He that entertaineth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward: and he that entertaineth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward. |
[41]He that receiveth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receive a Prophets reward: and he that receiveth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receive the reward of a righteous man. |
| [42]And whoever shall give one of these little ones to drink a cup of cold [water] only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say to you, he shall not lose his reward. |
[42]And whosoever shall give unto one of these little ones to drink a cup of cold water only, in the name of a Disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward. |
