This is still a very early look into the unfinished text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

10:1 Yeshua commissions the twelve

(Mark 3:13-19, Luke 6:12-16)

10Then calling his twelve apprentices, he gave them authority over evil spirits so they could drive them out, and they could heal every disease and sickness. 2These are the names of the twelve: Simon (nicknamed Peter) and his brother Andrew, Yacob and his brother Yohan (the sons of Zebedee), 3Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, Yacob (nicknamed Thaddeus, son of Alphaeus), 4Simon (member of the Caananites) and Yudas Iscariot (who eventually turned Yeshua in).

10:5 Yeshua sends out the twelve

(Mark 6:7-13, Luke 9:1-6)

5Yeshua sent out these twelve, instructing them, “Don’t go onto the roads of non-Jews or into the city of Samaria, 6but rather go to the lost sheep who a descendants of Israel. 7As you go, announce to the people that the kingdom of the heavens is close. 8Heal those who need it, bring the dead back to life, get rid of leprosy, and drive evil spirits away. You all freely received, so give freely. 9Don’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.

11Whatever city or village you arrive at, look around to discover who is godly, and stay with them until you all leave. 12When you enter a home, bless it, 13and 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.

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. 18You’ll be stood before governors and even kings on my account, but it’ll be a testimony to them and to the non-Jews. 19However, 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, 20because 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. 23Whenever 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.

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. 27Anything 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. 28Don’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. 29Aren’t two sparrows sold for almost nothing? Yet not one of them falls to the ground without your father being involved. 30For you all, even hair on your head has been counted, 31so don’t worry about things, because you are more valuable than any sparrows.

10:32 Acknowledging the messiah

(Luke 12:8-9)

32Everyone 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.

10:34 Don’t expect peace

(Luke 12:51-53)

34Don’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 36and person to become an enemy of their own household.

37Anyone 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.

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. 41Anyone 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. 42Anyone 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.
