\subsubsection{Sending Out the Twelve Sent-Ones}
|
|
\VS{1} And having called to himself his twelve disciples,
|
|
he gave to them authority over unclean spirits so as to be casting them out,
|
|
and to be healing every disease and every weakness.
|
|
\VS{2} Now the names of the twelve sent-ones\fnApostolos{} are these:
|
|
First \Simon the [one] called \Petros and \Andrew his brother,
|
|
and \Jacob\fnJacob{} the son of \Zebedee and \John his brother,
|
|
\VS{3} \Phillip and \Bartholemew, \Thomas and \Matthew the tax-collector,
|
|
\Jacob\fnJacob{} the son of \Alpheus, and \Thaddeus,
|
|
\VS{4} \Simon the Zealot and \Ioudas \Iscariot who also betrayed him.
|
|
|
|
\VS{5} \Iesous sent out these twelve after he exhorted them saying:
|
|
Do not go in the road of the nations\footnote{That is, non-Jews},
|
|
and do not enter into the city of \Samaritans.
|
|
\VS{6} But be going instead to the lost sheep of the house of \Israel.
|
|
\VS{7} And while going, be proclaiming that the kingdom of the heavens [is] at hand.
|
|
\VS{8} Be healing the feeble, be raising the dead, be cleansing lepers, be casting out demons.
|
|
Freely you have received, freely give.
|
|
\VS{9} Do not take\footnote{or ``acquire''}
|
|
gold nor silver nor copper coin in your belt
|
|
\VS{10} nor pouch for the road nor two shirts nor sandals nor staves,
|
|
for the worker [is] worthy of his sustenance.
|
|
\VS{11} And in whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain until you leave.
|
|
\VS{12} And when you enter into the house, greet it kindly.
|
|
\VS{13} And if the house should be worthy, let your peace come upon it.
|
|
But if it should not be worthy, let your peace return to you.
|
|
\VS{14} And whoever does not receive you nor hear your words,
|
|
when you come of that house or city, shake the dust off your feet.
|
|
\VS{15} Truly I say to you, It will be more bearable for [the] land
|
|
of \Sodoma and \Gomorrha in the day of judgment than for that city.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Persecution of Disciples}
|
|
\VS{16} Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves.
|
|
Become therefore shrewd as serpents and as innocent\footnote{``untouched,'' ``unharmed''} as doves.
|
|
\VS{17} But be giving heed of men, for they will deliver you up to the council,
|
|
and in their synagogues they will flog you,
|
|
\VS{18} and before chiefs and kings you will be brought on account of me,
|
|
as [a] witness to them and to the nations.
|
|
\VS{19} Now whenever they deliver you up, do not be concerned about how or what you will speak.
|
|
For it will be given to you in that hour what you will say.
|
|
\VS{20} For you are not the [ones] speaking,
|
|
but the spirit of your father who speaks in you.
|
|
|
|
\VS{21} For brother will deliver up brother to death and [a] father [his] son,
|
|
and children will rise up against [their] parents and will cause them to be put to death.
|
|
\VS{22} And you will be hated by all because of my name,
|
|
but the [one] having endured to the end, this [one] shall be saved.
|
|
\VS{23} But whenever they persecute you in this city, be fleeing to another,
|
|
for truly I say to you, you will \negd{not} complete the cities of \Israel until the Son of Humanity\fnAnthropos{} comes.
|
|
|
|
\VS{24} [A] disciple is not above his teacher nor [a] slave above his Lord.
|
|
\VS{25} [It is] sufficient to [a] disciple that he become as his teacher and the slave as his Lord.
|
|
If they call the master of the house \\Beelzebul, how much more those of his household?
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Fear God, Not Man}
|
|
\VS{26} Therefore do not fear them, for nothing is covered that will not be uncovered,
|
|
and [nothing] secret that will not be known.
|
|
\VS{27} What I say to you in darkness, you speak in the light,
|
|
and what you hear in your ear, proclaim in the houses.
|
|
\VS{28} And do not fear those killing the body but unable to kill the psyche-life\fnPsyche{},
|
|
but fear rather the [one] able to destroy both body and psyche-life\fnPsyche{} in Gehenna\fnGehenna{}.
|
|
\VS{29} Are not two sparrows sold for [an] assarion\fnAssarion{}?
|
|
And one of them will not fall on the ground\fnGe{} without your father.
|
|
\VS{30} But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
|
|
\VS{31} Therefore do not fear; you are worth more than many sparrows.
|
|
|
|
\VS{32} Therefore everyone who will profess me before people,
|
|
I also will profess him before my father in the heavens.
|
|
\VS{33} But whoever will deny\footnote{or ``refuse''} me before people,
|
|
I also will deny\footnote{or ``refuse''} him before my father in the heavens.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Not Peace, but a Sword}
|
|
\VS{34} Do not think that I came to bring peace on the land.
|
|
I did not come to bring peace but [a] sword.
|
|
\VS{35} For I came to set [a] man against his father and [a] daughter against her mother,
|
|
and [a] wife against her in-laws.
|
|
\VS{36} And [a] man's enemies will be of his own house.
|
|
|
|
\VS{37} The [one] philia-loving father or mother more than me is not worthy of me,
|
|
and the [one] philia-loving son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
|
|
\VS{38} And whoever does not receive\footnote{or ``take''} his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
|
|
\VS{39} The [one] finding his psyche-life\fnPsyche{} shall lose\fnApollumi{} it,
|
|
and the [one] losing\fnApollumi{} his psyche-life\fnPsyche{} because of me will find it.
|
|
|
|
\subsubsection{Rewards}
|
|
\VS{40} Whoever receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me.
|
|
\VS{41} The [one] receiving [a] prophet in the name of [a] prophet will receive [a] prophet's reward,
|
|
and the [one] receiving [a] just [one] in the name of [a] just [one] will receive [a] just [one]'s reward.
|
|
\VS{42} And whoever gives only [a] glass of cold water to one of these little [ones] in the name of [a] disciple,
|
|
truly I say to you, he shall \negd{not} lose\fnApollumi{} his reward.
|
