Matthew - douay rheims

Chapter 10

¹ AND having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities.
² And the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
³ James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,
⁴ Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
⁵ These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.
⁶ But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
⁷ And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.
⁹ Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:
¹⁰ Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.
¹¹ And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.
¹² And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.
¹³ And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.
¹⁵ Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
¹⁶ Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.
¹⁷ But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.
¹⁸ And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles:
¹⁹ But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak.
²⁰ For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.
²¹ The brother also shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the son: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and shall put them to death.
²² And you shall be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that shall persevere unto the end, he shall be saved.
²³ And when they shall persecute you in this city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you shall not finish all the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.
²⁴ The disciple is not above the master, nor the servant above his lord.
²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the goodman of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?
²⁶ Therefore fear them not. For nothing is covered that shall not be revealed: nor hid, that shall not be known.
²⁷ That which I tell you in the dark, speak ye in the light: and that which you hear in the ear, preach ye upon the housetops.
²⁸ And fear ye not them that kill the body, and are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him that can destroy both soul and body in hell.
²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
³⁰ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
³¹ Fear not therefore: better are you than many sparrows.
³² Every one therefore that shall confess me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.
³³ But he that shall deny me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.
³⁴ Do not think that I came to send peace upon earth: I came not to send peace, but the sword.
³⁵ 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.
³⁶ And as a man's enemies shall be they of his own household.
³⁷ 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.
³⁸ And he that taketh not up his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
³⁹ He that findeth his life, shall lose it: and he that shall lose his life for me, shall find it.
⁴⁰ He that receiveth you, receiveth me: and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.
⁴¹ He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet: and he that receiveth a just man in the name of a just man, shall receive the reward of a just man.
⁴² And whosoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.

Chapter 10

¹ And when he had called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness, and all manner of disease.
² 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;
³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname was Thaddeus;
⁴ Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and enter ye not into any city of the Samaritans.
⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
⁷ And as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons: freely ye have received, freely give.
⁹ Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;
¹⁰ Nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his food.
¹¹ And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till ye go thence.
¹² And when ye come into a house, salute it.
¹³ And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
¹⁴ And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart from that house, or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
¹⁵ Verily, I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city.
¹⁶ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
¹⁷ But beware of men: for they will deliver you to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.
¹⁸ And ye will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, be not anxious how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given to you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
²⁰ For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
²¹ And the brother will deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children will rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
²² And ye will be hated by all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of man shall have come.
²⁴ The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his lord.
²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he should be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord: if they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call them of his household?
²⁶ Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
²⁷ What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that publish ye upon the house-tops.
²⁸ And fear not them who 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.
²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and not one of them shall fall on the ground without your Father.
³⁰ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
³¹ Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
³² Whoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
³³ But whoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
³⁴ Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
³⁵ For I am come 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.
³⁶ And a man's foes will be they of his own household.
³⁷ 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.
³⁸ And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth me, is not worthy of me.
³⁹ 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 me, receiveth him that sent me.
⁴¹ 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 whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones, a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily, I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Chapter 10

¹ And having called to [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;
³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus;
⁴ Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.
⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;
⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
⁸ Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.
⁹ Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,
¹⁰ nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
¹¹ But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.
¹² And as ye enter into a house salute it.
¹³ And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
¹⁶ Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.
¹⁷ But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;
¹⁸ and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.
²⁰ For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.
²¹ But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;
²² and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, *he* shall be saved.
²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.
²⁴ The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord.
²⁵ [It is] sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?
²⁶ Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known.
²⁷ What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses.
²⁸ And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father;
³⁰ but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered.
³¹ Fear not therefore; *ye* are better than many sparrows.
³² Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, *I* also will confess him before my Father who is in [the] heavens.
³³ But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will *I* also deny before my Father who is in [the] heavens.
³⁴ Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword.
³⁵ For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law;
³⁶ and they of his household [shall be] a man's enemies.
³⁷ He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
³⁸ And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.
³⁹ He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.
⁴⁰ He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.
⁴¹ He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
⁴² And whosoever shall give to drink to 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.

Chapter 10

¹ And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.
² Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;
³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
⁴ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who was false to him.
⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,
⁶ But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,
⁷ And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.
⁸ Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.
⁹ Take no gold or silver or copper in your pockets;
¹⁰ Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.
¹¹ And into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.
¹² And when you go in, say, May peace be on this house.
¹³ And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.
¹⁴ And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.
¹⁵ Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.
¹⁶ See, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Be then as wise as snakes, and as gentle as doves.
¹⁷ But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;
¹⁸ And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
¹⁹ But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;
²⁰ Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.
²¹ And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.
²² And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.
²³ But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
²⁴ A disciple is not greater than his master, or a servant than his lord.
²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!
²⁶ Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.
²⁷ What I say to you in the dark, say in the light: and what comes to your ear secretly, say publicly from the house-tops.
²⁸ And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.
²⁹ Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:
³⁰ But the hairs of your head are all numbered.
³¹ Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.
³² To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.
³³ But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.
³⁴ Do not have the thought that I have come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.
³⁵ For I have come to put a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:
³⁶ And a man will be hated by those of his house.
³⁷ He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.
³⁸ And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.
³⁹ He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.
⁴⁰ He who gives honour to you gives honour to me; and he who gives honour to me gives honour to him who sent me.
⁴¹ He who gives honour to a prophet, in the name of a prophet, will be given a prophet's reward; and he who gives honour to an upright man, in the name of an upright man, will be given an upright man's reward.
⁴² And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not go without his reward.
