The Gospel of Matthew 10

10 And having summoned his 12 disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out and to heal every disease and every sickness. 2 Now the names of the 12 apostles are these: first, Simon (called Peter), and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus[fn]; 4 Simon the Cananaios, and Judas Iscariot, the one having also handed him over.

5 These twelve Jesus sent out, having instructed them, saying, “Do not go on the way to the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans. 6 But go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 Now as you are going, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. 9 Do not acquire gold or silver or copper in your belts, 10 nor a bag for the road nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff, for the laborer is worthy of his food. 11 But whatever city or village you enter into, find someone who is worthy in it and stay there until you go out. 12 Now entering into the house, greet it. 13 And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace be returned to you. 14 And whoever does not receive you nor listen to your words, departing from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

16 Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so become wise as the serpents and harmless as the doves. 17 But beware of the men, for they will hand you over to councils, and they will whip you in their synagogues; 18 and you will be brought also before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you will speak, for what you will say will be given to you in that hour. 20 For you are not the one speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Now brother will hand over brother to death, and a father, his child, and children will rise up against parents and put them to death. 22 And you will be hated by all because of my name, but the one having endured to the end, this one will be saved. 23 But whenever they persecute you in this city, flee to the next, for truly I say to you, you will certainly not finish the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

24 A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple that he might be like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much worse the members of his household! 26 Therefore, do not fear them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, and hidden, that will not be made known. 27 What I tell you in the darkness, say in the light, and what you hear in your ear, proclaim upon the housetops. 28 And do not be afraid of the ones killing the body but not being able to kill the soul. But instead, fear the one being able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for an assarion? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Therefore, do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows. 32 Therefore, everyone who will confess about me before men, I will also confess about him before my Father in the heavens. 33 But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father in the heavens.

34 Do not think that I came to bring peace upon the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I came to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; 36 and the enemies of a man will be the ones of his household. 37 The one loving father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and the one loving son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me. 39 The one having found his life will lose it, and the one having lost his life for my sake will find it.

40 The one receiving you receives me, and the one receiving me receives the one having sent me. 41 The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a reward of a prophet, and the one receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a reward of a righteous man. 42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water to drink only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will certainly not lose his reward.”

Instead of Thaddaeus, some manuscripts read Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus.
