And, as ye go, preach, saying ; The king dom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give. 9 Provide neither gold, nor sil ver, nor brass, in your purses; 10 nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff. For the workman is worthy of 11 his meat. And into what soever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in is worthy; and there abide 12 till ye go thence. And when ye come into a house, salute 13 it. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace re14 turn to you.

And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence 5 depart. And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. MATTHEW X. 15 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 16 city. Behold I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as 17 doves. But beware of men. For they will deliver you up to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues ; 18 and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. 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 20 what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the 21 Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you. And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child; and the children shall rise up against their 22 parents, and cause them to be put to death ; and ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But he that 23 endureth to the end shall be saved. But when they perse cute you in this city, flee ye into another ; and if they persecute you out of this, flee ye into another. For verily I say unto you, ye shall not have gone over the cities of 24 Israel till the Son of man be come. The disciple is not 25 above his master, nor the servant above his lord. 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 26 household ? Fear them not therefore. For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed ; and hid that shall 27 not be known. What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in the light; and what ye hear in the ear, that preach 28 ye upon the house-tops. 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. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing ? and one of them 30 shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the 31 very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore ; ye are of more value than many sparrows. 32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will 33 I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny 34 before my Father which is in heaven. Think not that I am come to send peace on earth ; I came not to send peace, but 35 a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the MATTHEW X. 36 daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's foes 37 shall be they of his own houeshold. He that loveth fath er or mother more than me, is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of 38 me; and he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after 39 me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life, shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it. 40 He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth 41 me, receiveth himn that sent me. 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. 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. 12 MARK VI.
