MATTHEW Chapter 10 1 And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity. 2 The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; 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; 4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 5 These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And preach as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay. 9 Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, salute it. 13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town. 16 "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour; 20 for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; 22 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel, before the Son of man comes. 24 "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master; 25 it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household. 26 "So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops. 28 And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will. 30 But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; 33 but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. 34 "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come 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 a man's foes will be those of his own household. 37 He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; 38 and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. 40 "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. 41 He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward. 42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."

MARK Mark 3:13 And he went up on the mountain, and called to him those whom he desired; and they came to him. Mark 3:14 And he appointed twelve, to be with him, and to be sent out to preach Mark 3:15 and have authority to cast out demons: Mark 6:7 And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out two by two, and gave them authority over the unclean spirits. Mark 3:16 Simon whom he surnamed Peter; Mark 3:17 James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, whom he surnamed Boanerges, that is, sons of thunder; Mark 3:18 Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Cananaean, Mark 3:19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. Then he went home; Mark 6:8 He charged them to take nothing for their journey except a staff; no bread, no bag, no money in their belts; Mark 6:9 but to wear sandals and not put on two tunics. Mark 6:10 And he said to them, "Where you enter a house, stay there until you leave the place. Mark 6:11 And if any place will not receive you and they refuse to hear you, when you leave, shake off the dust that is on your feet for a testimony against them." Mark 13:9 "But take heed to yourselves; for they will deliver you up to councils; and you will be beaten in synagogues; and you will stand before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them. Mark 13:11 And when they bring you to trial and deliver you up, do not be anxious beforehand what you are to say; but say whatever is given you in that hour, for it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit. Mark 13:12 And brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; Mark 13:13 and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. Mark 4:22 For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest; nor is anything secret, except to come to light. Mark 8:34 And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Mark 8:35 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel's will save it. Mark 9:37 "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; and whoever receives me, receives not me but him who sent me." Mark 9:41 For truly, I say to you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ, will by no means lose his reward.

LUKE Luke 9:1 And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, Luke 6:14 Simon, whom he named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip, and Bartholomew, Luke 6:15 and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, Luke 6:16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor. Luke 9:3 And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. Luke 9:4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. Luke 9:5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them." Luke 10:4 Carry no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no one on the road. Luke 10:5 Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!' Luke 10:6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace shall rest upon him; but if not, it shall return to you. Luke 10:7 And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages; do not go from house to house. Luke 10:8 Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you; Luke 10:9 heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' Luke 10:10 But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, Luke 10:11 'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off against you; nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near.' Luke 10:12 I tell you, it shall be more tolerable on that day for Sodom than for that town. Luke 10:3 Go your way; behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. Luke 12:11 And when they bring you before the synagogues and the rulers and the authorities, do not be anxious how or what you are to answer or what you are to say; Luke 21:12 But before all this they will lay their hands on you and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors for my name's sake. Luke 21:13 This will be a time for you to bear testimony. Luke 21:14 Settle it therefore in your minds, not to meditate beforehand how to answer; Luke 21:15 for I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict. Luke 21:16 You will be delivered up even by parents and brothers and kinsmen and friends, and some of you they will put to death; Luke 21:17 you will be hated by all for my name's sake. Luke 6:40 A disciple is not above his teacher, but every one when he is fully taught will be like his teacher. Luke 12:2 Nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. Luke 12:3 Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed upon the housetops. Luke 12:4 "I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. Luke 12:5 But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I tell you, fear him! Luke 12:6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. Luke 12:7 Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:8 "And I tell you, every one who acknowledges me before men, the Son of man also will acknowledge before the angels of God; Luke 12:9 but he who denies me before men will be denied before the angels of God. Luke 12:51 Do you think that I have come to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, but rather division; Luke 12:52 for henceforth in one house there will be five divided, three against two and two against three; Luke 12:53 they will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against her mother, mother-in-law against her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law." Luke 14:26 "If any one comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Mark 8:34 And he called to him the multitude with his disciples, and said to them, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Luke 9:23 And he said to all, "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. Luke 14:27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me, cannot be my disciple. Luke 9:24 For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it. Luke 17:33 Whoever seeks to gain his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will preserve it. Luke 10:16 "He who hears you hears me, and he who rejects you rejects me, and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me."
