40:010:006 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

40:010:007 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

40:010:008 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

40:010:009 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

40:010:010 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

40:010:011 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

40:010:012 And when ye come into an house, salute it.

40:010:013 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

40:010:014 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.

40:010:015 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.

40:010:016 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

40:010:017 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;

40:010:018 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

40:010:019 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.

40:010:020 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

40:010:021 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.

40:010:022 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

40:010:023 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.

40:010:024 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

40:010:025 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?

40:010:026 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

40:010:027 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.

40:010:028 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.

40:010:029 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

40:010:030 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

40:010:031 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

40:010:032 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

40:010:033 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
