And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them authority over unclean spirits to cast them out, and to heal every pain and disease.

And the names of those twelve apostles are these: The first of them, Shimon who is called Keefa, and Andrew his brother; and Ya'akov the son of Zabdai, and Yochanan his brother;

and Philipos, and Bar-Tulmai, and Toma, and Matai the tax collector; and Ya'akov the son of Halfai, and Levi who was named Tadai;

and Shimon the Qananya, and Yehuda Skaryota, he who handed him over.

These twelve Y'shua sent out, and he commanded them and said: Do not go on the road of the Gentiles, and do not enter the cities of the Samaritans.

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Yisrael.

And as you go, proclaim and say that the kingdom of heaven has approached.

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

Do not provide gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

nor a wallet for the journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer is worthy of his food.

And into whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you depart.

And when you enter a house, ask for the peace of the house.

And if the house is worthy, your peace will come upon it; but if it is not worthy, your peace will return upon you.

And whoever will not receive you and will not hear your words, when you go out from the house or from that town, shake off the dust from your feet.

And truly I say to you that it will be more comfortable for the land of Sodom and of Amora in the day of judgment than for that city.

See, I am sending you as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and pure as doves.

But beware of people, for they will hand you over to the house of judgment, and in their assemblies they will scourge you.

And they will bring you before governors and kings because of me, for a testimony to them and to the peoples.

But when they hand you over, do not be anxious how or what you will speak, for it is given to you in that hour what you will speak.

For it is not you who speak, but the spirit of your Father that speaks in you.

And a brother will hand over his brother to death, and a father his son, and children will rise up against their parents and put them to death.

And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end, he will have life.

But when they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For amen I say to you, you will not finish all the cities of the house of Yisrael until the Son of man comes.

There is no disciple greater than his rabbi, and no servant greater than his master.

It is enough for the disciple that he be like his rabbi, and for the servant like his master. If they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more the children of his house?

So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and nothing hidden that will not be known.

What I say to you in the dark, speak in the light, and what you hear in your ears, proclaim on the housetops.

And do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Fear rather the one who can destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father.

But as for you, even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

So do not be afraid: you are better than many sparrows.

So everyone who confesses me before the sons of men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before the sons of men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

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

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.

And a man's enemies are the members of his 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 everyone who does not take up his cross and come after me is not worthy of me.

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

Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.

Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

And everyone who gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.
