10  A, ka oti te karanga e ia ana akonga tekau ma rua, ka hoatu ki a ratou he mana hei pei i nga wairua poke, hei whakaora hoki i nga mate katoa me nga turorotanga katoa.

Na ko nga ingoa enei o nga apotoro kotahi tekau ma rua; te tuatahi ko Haimona, e kiia nei ko Pita, raua ko tona teina ko Anaru; ko Hemi tama a Heperi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani;

Ko Piripi raua ko Patoromu; ko Tamati raua ko Matiu pupirikana; ko Hemi tama a Arapiu, ko Tariu;

Ko Haimona Kanaani raua ko Hura Ikariote, nana nei ia i tuku.

Ko tenei tekau ma rua i tonoa e Ihu, i ako ia i a ratou, i mea, Kaua e haere ki tetahi ara o nga tauiwi, kaua ano hoki e tomo ki tetahi pa o nga Hamari:

Engari me haere ki nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.

Me kauwhau haere hoki, me ki, Kua tata te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

Whakaorangia nga turoro, meinga kia ma nga repera, whakaarahia nga tupapaku, peia nga rewera; ka riro noa nei i a koutou, me hoatu noa e koutou.

Kaua he koura ma koutou, kaua he hiriwa, kaua he parahi ki roto ki o koutou whitiki;

10 Kaua ano he putea mo te ara; kaua e takiruatia nga koti, kaua he hu, kaua ano he tokotoko; ka ea hoki i te kaimahi tana kai.

11 A, ka tomo koutou ki tetahi pa, ki tetahi kainga ranei, ui atu, ko wai te tangata pai o reira; a hei reira noho ai a haere noa.

12 A, no ka tomo ki tetahi whare, me oha atu.

13 A, ki te pai te whare, kia tau ta koutou rangimarie ki reira; a, ki te kahore e pai, kia hoki ta koutou rangimarie ki a koutou.

14 Ki te kahore hoki tetahi e manako ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarongo ki a koutou kupu, ka haere koutou ki waho o taua whare, o taua pa ranei, ka whakangahoro i te puehu o o koutou waewae.

15 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Erangi to te whenua o Horoma raua ko Komora a te ra whakawa e mama i to taua pa.

16 Nana, ka tonoa nei koutou e ahau ano he hipi ki roto ki nga wuruhi: na, kia rite ki te nakahi te mahara, ki te kukupa hoki te mahaki.

17 Kia tupato ia i nga tangata: tera hoki koutou e tukua e ratou ki nga runanga, a tera koutou e whiua i roto i o ratou whare karakia;

18 A ka kawea koutou ki nga kawana, ki nga kingi, mo te whakaaro ki ahau, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou, ki nga tauiwi hoki.

19 A, no ka tukua koutou e ratou, kaua e manukanuka ki te pehea, ki te aha, e korero ai koutou; ka hoatu ki a koutou i taua wa ta koutou e korero ai.

20 Ehara hoki i a koutou nga korero, engari ko te Wairua o to koutou Matua te korero ana i roto i a koutou.

21 Na ka tukua te tuakana e te teina ki te mate, te tama hoki e te papa; ka whakatika nga tamariki ki nga matua, ka mea kia whakamatea.

22 A ka kinongia koutou e nga tangata katoa, he mea hoki mo toku ingoa; ko te tangata ia e u ana a taea noatia te mutunga, ka ora ia.

23 Na, ki te whakatoia koutou i tenei pa, rere atu ki tetahi: he pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e poto i a koutou nga pa o Iharaira te haere, ko te Tama a te tangata kua tae mai.

24 Kahore e nui ake te akonga i tona kaiwhakaako, kahore hoki te pononga e nui ake i tona rangatira.

25 Heoi ma te akonga ko ia kia rite ki tona kaiwhakaako, ma te pononga kia rite ki tona rangatira. Ki te kiia e ratou te rangatira o te whare ko Perehepura, tera noa ake ta ratou mo nga tangata o tona whare.

26 Na kaua e wehi i a ratou: kahore hoki he mea i hipokina e mahue te hura; he mea ranei i huna e mahue te mohio.

27 Ko taku e korero nei ki a koutou i te pouri, me korero e koutou i te marama: ko ta o koutou taringa e rongo ai, me kauwhau ki runga i nga whare.

28 A kaua e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, a e kore nei e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ia ko ta koutou e wehi ai, ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua tahi ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena.

29 Kahore ianei e hokona nga pihoihoi e rua ki te patene kotahi? a, ki te kahore to koutou Matua e mea, e kore tetahi o raua e taka ki te whenua:

30 Otiia ko nga makawe o o koutou matenga kua oti katoa te tatau.

31 No reira kaua e wehi: erangi ra koutou i nga pihoihoi maha.

32 Na, ki te whakaae tetahi ki ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakaaetia ia e ahau i te aroaro o toku Matua i te rangi.

33 A, ki te whakakahore tetahi i ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakakahoretia hoki ia e ahau i te aroaro o toku Matua i te rangi.

34 Kei mea i haere mai ahau ki te kawe mai i te rangimarie ki te whenua: kihai ahau i haere mai ki te kawe mai i te rangimarie, engari i te hoari.

35 I haere mai hoki ahau ki te mea i te tangata kia whawhai ki tona papa, i te tamahine ki tona whaea, i te hunaonga wahine ki tona hungawai wahine:

36 A ko o te tangata hoariri ko nga tangata ano o tona whare.

37 Ki te nui ake te aroha o tetahi ki tona papa, whaea ranei, i tona ki ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku; ki te nui ake hoki te aroha o tetahi ki tana tama, tamahine ranei, i tona ki ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku.

38 Ki te kore hoki tetahi e mau ki tona ripeka, e aru i muri i ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku.

39 Ko te tangata i whiwhi ki te ora e mate ano ia: a, kite mate tetahi mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka whiwhi ano ia ki te ora.

40 Ki te manako tetahi ki a koutou, e manako ana ia ki ahau, a, ki te manako tetahi ki ahau, e manako ana ia ki toku kaitono mai.

41 Ki te manako tetahi ki te poropiti i runga i te ingoa o te poropiti, ka riro i a ia te utu o te poropiti; a, ki te manako tetahi ki te tangata tika i runga i te ingoa o te tangata tika, e riro i a ia te utu o te tangata tika.

42 A, ki te whakainumia e tetahi tetahi o enei mea nonohi, ahakoa kotahi ano te kapu wai matao, i runga i te ingoa o te akonga, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore rawa ia e hapa i tona utu.

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)
