An wen you guys go, teach lidis, ‘God, da King from da sky, he stay King hea now.’ Make da sick guys come good, make da mahke guys come back alive again, make da lepa guys come good, an make da bad kine spirits let go da peopo. God give you guys plenny, an he no expeck notting back. So den, you guys give plenny too, an you guys no expeck notting back. Gold, o silva, o copper money, no take um wit you guys. 10 No even take one bag fo da trip, o extra clothes, o slippas, o walking stick; cuz da peopo suppose to give da worka guy wat he need.

11 “Wen you guys go inside one big o small town, look fo one guy dea dat da peopo get respeck fo, an stay his place till you go way from dea. 12 Wen you guys go inside da guyʼs house, tell um you dea fo bring aloha. 13 An if dat ohana give you guys respeck, den tell dem you like fo God make dea hearts rest inside. But if dey no give respeck, take back wat you aks God fo do fo dem. 14 If no mo nobody take you guys in, an dey no like hear wat you say, wen you go outa dea, dust da dust from yoa feet, fo show da peopo dea dat God no like, cuz dey no listen. 15 Dass right! An I tell you guys dis too: wen dey stand in front God da Judge, dey goin get mo hard time den da peopo from Sodom town an Gomorrah town, dat time God wen wipe um out.

You Guys Goin Suffa Plenny

So you guys gotta tink, jalike da snakes, an no hurt nobody, jalike da doves. 17 Watch out fo da guys dat goin set you up in front da main leadas, an goin whip yoa back hard inside da Jewish churches. 18 Dey goin drag you guys in front governas an kings cuz you my guys. Den you guys goin tell wat you know bout me in front dem, an in front da peopos dat not Jews. 19 Wen dey set you guys up lidat, no worry wat you goin say o how you goin say um. Ony say wat yoa Fadda goin tell you right den. 20 Dat time goin be his Spirit talking, not you guys.

21 “One brudda goin set up his own brudda fo mahke, an one fadda his kid, an kids goin fight wit dea mudda an fadda, an dey goin set um up fo mahke. 22 Everybody goin hate you guys cuz you my guys. But da guy dat no give up till pau goin come out okay.

If dey call da head guy inside da house ‘Beelzebul’ o ‘Da Devil,’ den dey goin call his ohana ‘Da Devil Guys’ an even mo worse tings.

But not even one sparrow bird goin fall down from da sky on top da groun if yoa Fadda no like. 30 Yoa Fadda, he even know how much hairs you get on top yoa head! 31 No scared! Cuz God know you guys worth mo den plenny sparrow birds.

32 “If get one guy dat tell in front all da peopo dat he know me, den I goin tell in front my Fadda in da sky dat I know him. 33 But if get one guy dat tell in front da peopo dat he donno me, den I goin tell in front my Fadda in da sky dat I donno him.

Not Friends, But Fighting

34 “No tink dat I come hea to dis world fo make everybody come friends an no fight. I no come fo do dat, but fo make um turn agains each odda. 35 I come an I hea now, an jalike da Bible wen say from befo time, ‘Dat goin make one guy turn agains his fadda, one girl agains her mudda, one daughta-in-law agains her mudda-in-law. 36 You goin get guys dat hate you inside yoa own ohana.’

37 “Whoeva get love fo his fadda o his mudda mo den he get love fo me, not good nuff fo be my guy. An whoeva get love fo his boy o his girl mo den he get love fo me, not good nuff fo be my guy. 38 Da guy dat not ready fo go wit me an be my guy, no matta dey even goin kill um on top one cross, he not good nuff fo be my guy. 39 If bodda you dat you goin mahke, fo shua you goin mahke. But if you like do everyting you do fo me, an no bodda you if you mahke fo dat, den you goin live fo real kine.

Anybody take me in an make friends wit me, same guys, dey goin take in da One dat wen send me, an he goin make friends wit dem. 41 Whoeva take in one guy dat talk fo God an make friends wit him, jus cuz he talk fo God, God goin have plenny good kine stuff bumbye in da sky fo dem, jalike dey was Godʼs talka guy too.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)(C)(D)(E)

10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits(F) and to heal every disease and sickness.(G)

These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.(H)

These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.(I) Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.(J) As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven(K) has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

“Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts(L) 10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.(M) 11 Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. 12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting.(N) 13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.(O) 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah(P) on the day of judgment(Q) than for that town.(R)

16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.(S) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.(T) 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils(U) and be flogged in the synagogues.(V) 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings(W) as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it.(X) At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father(Y) speaking through you.

21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(Z) and have them put to death.(AA) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(AB) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(AC) 23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.(AD)

24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(AE) 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul,(AF) how much more the members of his household!

26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(AG) 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One(AH) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[b] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(AI) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(AJ)

32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(AK) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(AL)

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
    a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law(AM)
36     a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[c](AN)

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.(AO) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(AP) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(AQ)

40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(AR) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(AS) 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”(AT)
