CH. XI. 1.

35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness, and every disease among the people.

36 But when he saw the mult.i.tudes, he was moved with compa.s.sion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad as sheep having no shepherd.

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly _is_ plenteous, but the labourers _are_ few.

38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

CHAP. X.

And when he had called unto 7 And he called _unto him_ the _him_ his twelve disciples, he twelve, and began to send them gave them power _against_ forth by two and two, and gave unclean spirits, to cast them them power over unclean out, and to heal all manner of spirits; sickness, and all manner of disease.

5 These twelve Jesus sent 8 And commanded them that they forth, and commanded them, should take nothing for saying, Go not into the way of _their_ journey, save a staff the Gentiles, and into _any_ only; no scrip, no bread, no city of the Samaritans, enter money in _their_ purse: ye not.

6 But go rather to the lost 9 But _be_ shod with sandals; sheep of the house of Israel. and not put on two coats.

7 And as ye go, preach, 10 And he said unto them, In saying, The kingdom of heaven what place soever ye enter is at hand. into a house, there abide till ye depart from that place.

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor bra.s.s in your purses; 10 Nor scrip for _your_ journey, neither two coats, neither shoes,(169) nor yet staves: (for the workman is worthy of his meat.) 11 And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

12 And when ye come into a house, salute it.

13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14 And whosoever shall not 11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your receive you, nor hear you, words, when ye depart out of when ye depart thence, shake that house, or city, shake off off the dust under your feet, the dust of your feet. for a testimony against them.

Verify, I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, then for that city.

15 Verily, I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city.

16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.(170) 18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak, for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against _their_ parents, and cause them to be put to death.

22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.

23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel till the Son of man be come.

24 The disciple is not above _his_ master, nor the servant above his lord.

25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord: if they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more _shall they call_ them of his household?

26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.

27 What I tell you in darkness, _that_ speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, _that_ preach ye upon the house-tops.

28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in h.e.l.l.

29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth; I came not to send peace, but a sword.

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

36 And a man's foes _shall be_ they of his own household.(171) 37 He that loveth father or mother more than me, is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me, is not worthy of me.

38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake, shall find it.

40 He that receiveth you, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me.

41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.

42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones, a cup of cold _water_ only, in the name of a disciple, verily, I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
