Matthew 10

Authored by: American Standard Version
10:1
Και προσκαλεσαμενος τους δωδεκα μαθητας αυτου εδωκεν αυτοις εξουσιαν πνευματων ακαθαρτων ωστε εκβαλλειν αυτα και θεραπευειν πασαν νοσον και πασαν μαλακιαν
And he called unto him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of disease and all manner of sickness.
10:2
Των δε δωδεκα αποστολων τα ονοματα εστιν ταυτα πρωτος Σιμων ο λεγομενος Πετρος και Ανδρεας ο αδελφος αυτου και Ιακωβος ο του Ζεβεδαιου και Ιωαννης ο αδελφος αυτου
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
Φιλιππος και Βαρθολομαιος Θωμας και Μαθθαιος ο τελωνης Ιακωβος ο του Αλφαιου και Θαδδαιος
Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphæus, and Thaddæus;
10:4
Σιμων ο Καναναιος και Ιουδας ο Ισκαριωτης ο και παραδους αυτον
Simon the Cananæan, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
10:5
Τουτους τους δωδεκα απεστειλεν ο Ιησους παραγγειλας αυτοις λεγων Εις οδον εθνων μη απελθητε και εις πολιν Σαμαριτων μη εισελθητε
These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans:
10:6
πορευεσθε δε μαλλον προς τα προβατα τα απολωλοτα οικου Ισραηλ
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
10:7
πορευομενοι δε κηρυσσετε λεγοντες οτι Ηγγικεν η βασιλεια των ουρανων
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
10:8
ασθενουντας θεραπευετε νεκρους εγειρετε λεπρους καθαριζετε δαιμονια εκβαλλετε δωρεαν ελαβετε δωρεαν δοτε
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give.
10:9
Μη κτησησθε χρυσον μηδε αργυρον μηδε χαλκον εις τας ζωνας υμων
Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;
10:10
μη πηραν εις οδον μηδε δυο χιτωνας μηδε υποδηματα μηδε ραβδον αξιος γαρ ο εργατης της τροφης αυτου
no wallet for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
10:11
Εις ην δ αν πολιν η κωμην εισελθητε εξετασατε τις εν αυτη αξιος εστιν κακει μεινατε εως αν εξελθητε
And into whatsoever city or village ye shall enter, search out who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go forth.
10:12
εισερχομενοι δε εις την οικιαν ασπασασθε αυτην
And as ye enter into the house, salute it.
10:13
και εαν μεν η η οικια αξια ελθατω η ειρηνη υμων επ αυτην εαν δε μη η αξια η ειρηνη υμων προς υμας επιστραφητω
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
και ος αν μη δεξηται υμας μηδε ακουση τους λογους υμων εξερχομενοι εξω της οικιας η της πολεως εκεινης εκτιναξατε τον κονιορτον των ποδων υμων
And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet.
10:15
αμην λεγω υμιν ανεκτοτερον εσται γη Σοδομων και Γομορρων εν ημερα κρισεως η τη πολει εκεινη
Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
10:16
Ιδου εγω αποστελλω υμας ως προβατα εν μεσω λυκων γινεσθε ουν φρονιμοι ως οι οφεις και ακεραιοι ως αι περιστεραι
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

10:17
Προσεχετε δε απο των ανθρωπων παραδωσουσιν γαρ υμας εις συνεδρια και εν ταις συναγωγαις αυτων μαστιγωσουσιν υμας
But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you;
10:18
και επι ηγεμονας δε και βασιλεις αχθησεσθε ενεκεν εμου εις μαρτυριον αυτοις και τοις εθνεσιν
yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
10:19
οταν δε παραδωσιν υμας μη μεριμνησητε πως η τι λαλησητε δοθησεται γαρ υμιν εν εκεινη τη ωρα τι λαλησητε
But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak.
10:20
ου γαρ υμεις εστε οι λαλουντες αλλα το Πνευμα του Πατρος υμων το λαλουν εν υμιν
For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.
10:21
Παραδωσει δε αδελφος αδελφον εις θανατον και πατηρ τεκνον και επαναστησονται τεκνα επι γονεις και θανατωσουσιν αυτους
And brother shall deliver up brother to death, and the father his child: and children shall rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.
10:22
και εσεσθε μισουμενοι υπο παντων δια το ονομα μου ο δε υπομεινας εις τελος ουτος σωθησεται
And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end, the same shall be saved.
10:23
Οταν δε διωκωσιν υμας εν τη πολει ταυτη φευγετε εις την ετεραν αμην γαρ λεγω υμιν ου μη τελεσητε τας πολεις του Ισραηλ εως αν ελθη ο Υιος του ανθρωπου
But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone through the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
10:24
Ουκ εστιν μαθητης υπερ τον διδασκαλον ουδε δουλος υπερ τον κυριον αυτου
A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.
10:25
αρκετον τω μαθητη ινα γενηται ως ο διδασκαλος αυτου και ο δουλος ως ο κυριος αυτου ει τον οικοδεσποτην Βεελζεβουλ επεκαλεσαν ποσω μαλλον τους οικιακους αυτου
It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household!
10:26
Μη ουν φοβηθητε αυτους ουδεν γαρ εστιν κεκαλυμμενον ο ουκ αποκαλυφθησεται και κρυπτον ο ου γνωσθησεται
Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
10:27
ο λεγω υμιν εν τη σκοτια ειπατε εν τω φωτι και ο εις το ους ακουετε κηρυξατε επι των δωματων
What I tell you in the darkness, speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, proclaim upon the house-tops.
10:28
Και μη φοβεισθε απο των αποκτεννοντων το σωμα την δε ψυχην μη δυναμενων αποκτειναι φοβεισθε δε μαλλον τον δυναμενον και ψυχην και σωμα απολεσαι εν γεεννη
And be not afraid of them that kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
10:29
Ουχι δυο στρουθια ασσαριου πωλειται και εν εξ αυτων ου πεσειται επι την γην ανευ του Πατρος υμων
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father:
10:30
υμων δε και αι τριχες της κεφαλης πασαι ηριθμημεναι εισιν
but the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
10:31
μη ουν φοβεισθε πολλων στρουθιων διαφερετε υμεις
Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.
10:32
Πας ουν οστις ομολογησει εν εμοι εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων ομολογησω καγω εν αυτω εμπροσθεν του Πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις
Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
10:33
οστις δ αν αρνησηται με εμπροσθεν των ανθρωπων αρνησομαι καγω αυτον εμπροσθεν του Πατρος μου του εν τοις ουρανοις
But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
10:34
Μη νομισητε οτι ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην επι την γην ουκ ηλθον βαλειν ειρηνην αλλα μαχαιραν
Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
10:35
ηλθον γαρ διχασαι Ανθρωπον κατα του πατρος αυτου Και θυγατερα κατα της μητρος αυτης Και νυμφην κατα της πενθερας αυτης
For I came 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
Και εχθροι του ανθρωπου οι οικιακοι αυτου
and a man’s foes shall be they of his own household.
10:37
Ο φιλων πατερα η μητερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος και ο φιλων υιον η θυγατερα υπερ εμε ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
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
και ος ου λαμβανει τον σταυρον αυτου και ακολουθει οπισω μου ουκ εστιν μου αξιος
And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me.
10:39
ο ευρων την ψυχην αυτου απολεσει αυτην και ο απολεσας την ψυχην αυτου ενεκεν εμου ευρησει αυτην
He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
10:40
Ο δεχομενος υμας εμε δεχεται και ο εμε δεχομενος δεχεται τον αποστειλαντα με
He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
10:41
ο δεχομενος προφητην εις ονομα προφητου μισθον προφητου λημψεται και ο δεχομενος δικαιον εις ονομα δικαιου μισθον δικαιου λημψεται
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
και ος αν ποτιση ενα των μικρων τουτων ποτηριον ψυχρου μονον εις ονομα μαθητου αμην λεγω υμιν ου μη απολεση τον μισθον αυτου
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.

Shrewd and gentle at once

'Wise as serpents, and harmless as doves' pairs two qualities that don't usually get put together, shrewdness and gentleness held in the same breath.
