You all freely received, so give freely. 9 Don’t accept any money for your wallets, 10 [ref]and don’t take a backpack, or a change of clothes or footwear, or a staff, because a worker deserves to be fed.

11 “Whatever city or village you arrive at, look around to discover who is godly, and stay with them until you all leave. 12 When you enter a home, bless it, 13 and if the house is worthy of it, let your peace come onto it, but if not, let your peace return to you. 14 [ref]If there’s any that don’t accept you or don’t want to hear your messages, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or city as a sign that you all accept no responsibility for them. 15 [ref]I can assure you that it will be more tolerable for the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgement that it will be for those places.

5 The Yaʸsous/(Yəhōshūˊa) sent _out these the twelve having _commanded to _them saying:
You _all _may_ not _go _away into the_way of_the_pagans, and you _all _may_ not _come _in into city of_the_Samareitaʸs/(Shomərōn), 6 but rather be _going to the which having _lost sheep of_the_house of _Israaʸl/(Yisərā^ʼēl).

10:16 The coming persecution

(Mark 13:9-13, Luke 21:12-17)

16 [ref]“Look out, because I’m sending you out like sheep among the wolves, so you’ll all need to be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. 17 [ref]But watch out because there’s people that will turn you in to the councils and then you’ll be flogged in their meeting halls. 18 You’ll be stood before governors and even kings on my account, but it’ll be a testimony to them and to the non-Jews. 19 However, whenever they turn you in, you don’t need to worry about what to say or how to say it, because whatever you all need to say will be given to you at the right time, 20 because you won’t be the ones speaking, but it’ll be your father’s spirit speaking through you.

21 [ref]“One sibling will turn in another to be executed, and a father his child, and children will be rebelling against their parents and having them put to death. 22 [ref]You all will be hated by everyone because of my name, but the ones who endure until the end, they are the ones who will be saved. 23 Whenever they persecute you in one city, escape to the next city, because I can assure you that you won’t get through all the cities in Israel before humanity’s child comes.

24 [ref]“An apprentice is not above their teacher, nor is a slave above their master. 25 [ref]The apprentice is happy to eventually become like their teacher, and the slave to become like their master. If they accuse the home owner of being a devil, then that will apply to his followers even more.

16 Behold, I am _sending_ you _all _out as sheep in the_midst of _wolves, therefore be _becoming shrewd as the serpents and innocent as the doves.
17 But be _taking _heed of the people, because/for they _will _be _giving_ you _all _over into councils, and they _will _be _flogging you _all in the synagogues of _them, 18 and you _all _will _be _being _brought before governors and also kings on _account me, because/for a_testimony to _them and to _the pagans.
19 But whenever they _may _give_ you _all _over, you _all _may_ not _worry how or what you _all _may _speak, because/for what you _all _may _speak will _be _being _given to _you _all in that the hour.
20 For/Because you _all are not the ones speaking, but the spirit of _the father of _you _all which speaking in you _all.
21 And brother will _be _giving _over brother to death, and father child, and children will _be _rising _up against parents, and they _will _be _putting_ them _to _death.
22 And you _all _will _be being _hated by all because _of the name of _me, but the one having _endured to the_end, this one will _be _being _saved.
23 But whenever they _may _be _persecuting you _all in the this city, be _fleeing to the next, because/for, truly I _am _saying to _you _all, by _no _means you _all _may_ not _finish the cities of _the Israaʸl/(Yisərā^ʼēl), until the son of_ the _man may _come.
24 A_apprentice/follower is not above the teacher, nor a_slave above the master of _him.
25 it _is Sufficient for _the apprentice/follower that he _may _become as the teacher of _him, and the slave as the master of _him.
If they _called the home _owner Beʼelzeboul, to _how _much more the household of _him?

10:26 Who to fear

(Luke 12:2-7)

26 [ref]“Therefore don’t be afraid of them, because nothing is covered up that won’t eventually be revealed, and nothing is hidden that won’t be made known. 27 Anything that I tell you all in the darkness, speak it out in the light, and what you hear whispered, go and yell it out from up on the top porch. 28 Don’t be afraid of anyone who can kill your body but who can’t touch your soul, but rather work to please the one who can destroy both soul and body in fire. 29 Aren’t two sparrows sold for almost nothing? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your father being involved. 30 For you all, even hair on your head has been counted, 31 so don’t worry about things, because you are more valuable than any sparrows.

26 Therefore be_ not _afraid of _them, because/for nothing is having _been _covered which will_ not _be _being _revealed, and hidden which will_ not _be _being _known.
27 What I _am _telling to _you _all in the darkness, speak in the light, and what you _all _are _hearing in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.
28 And be_ not _afraid of the ones killing _off the body, but not being _able to _kill _off the soul, but rather be _fearing the one being _able to _destroy both soul and body in geenna.
29 Not two sparrows is _being _sold for_an_assarion_coin?
And not one of them will _be _falling to the ground, apart _from the father of _you _all.
30 But the hairs of _the head of _you _all also are having_ all _been _numbered.
31 Therefore be_ not _fearing, you _all are _carrying _value than many sparrows.

10:32 Acknowledging the messiah

(Luke 12:8-9)

32 “Everyone who acknowledges in front of others that they’re my followers, then I will also acknowledge them in front of my father who is in the heavens, 33 [ref]but anyone who disowns me in front of others, then I will also disown them in front of my father who is in the heavens.

32 Therefore everyone who will _be _confessing in me before the people, also _I will _be _confessing in him before the father of _me who is in the_heavens.
33 But whoever may _disown me before the people, also _I will _be _disowning him before the father of _me who is in the_heavens.

10:34 Don’t expect peace

(Luke 12:51-53)

34 “Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth. No, I came to bring war not peace, 35 [ref]because I came to divide a son against his father and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law 36 and person to become an enemy of their own household.

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than they love me is not worthy of being mine, and anyone who loves their son or daughter more than they love me is not worthy of being mine. 38 [ref]Anyone who doesn’t pick up their own execution stake and carry it as they follow me, is not worthy of being mine. 39 [ref]Anyone who has found their life will lose it, and anyone who loses their life because of following me, will find it.

34 You _all _may_ not _think that I _came to _bring peace to the earth, I _came not to _bring peace, but a_sword.
35 For/Because I _came to _divide a_man against the father of _him, and a_daughter against the mother of _her, and a_daughter-in-law against the mother _in _law of _her 36 and enemies of _the person the household of _him.
37 The one loving father or mother above me, is not worthy of _me, and the one loving son or daughter above me, is not worthy of _me.
38 And who is_ not _taking the stake of _him and is _following after me, is not worthy of _me.
39 The one having _found the life of _him will _be _losing it, and the one having _lost the life of _him on _account me will _be _finding it.

10:40 Acceptance rewards

(Mark 9:41)

40 [ref]Anyone who accepts you is accepting me, and anyone who accepts me is accepting the one who sent me down here. 41 Anyone who accepts a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive the reward of a prophet, and anyone who accepts a godly person in the name of a godly person will receive the reward of a godly person. 42 Anyone who as a follower of me gives a cup of cool water to one of these little ones to drink, I’m telling you that that person certainly won’t lose their reward.
