Matthäus 10 | English Standard Version

The Twelve Apostles

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 affliction. 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 Zealot,* and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

5 These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing 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 proclaim 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 Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics* or sandals or 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 there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, greet 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 anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Persecution Will Come

16 “Behold, I am sending 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 over to courts and flog you in their synagogues, 18 and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 When they deliver you over, 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 brother over 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 the one 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.

Have No Fear

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, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on 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 apart from your Father. 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 everyone 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.

Not Peace, but a Sword

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the 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 person’s enemies will be those of his own household. 37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Rewards

40 “Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”

يسوع يرسل الاثني عشر رسولاً

1 ثُمَّ دَعَا إِلَيْهِ تَلامِيذَهُ الاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ، وَأَعْطَاهُمْ سُلْطَانَاً عَلَى الأَرْوَاحِ النَّجِسَةِ لِيَطْرُدُوهَا وَيَشْفُوا كُلَّ مَرَضٍ وَعِلَّةٍ. 2 وَهَذِهِ أَسْمَاءُ الِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَسُولاً: سِمْعَانُ الَّذِي دُعِيَ بُطْرُسَ، وَأَنْدَرَاوُسُ أَخُوهُ، وَيَعْقُوبُ بْنُ زَبَدِي، وَيُوحَنَّا أَخُوهُ؛ 3 فِيلِبُّسُ، وَبَرْثُلْمَاوُسُ؛ تُومَا، وَمَتَّى جَابِي الضَّرَائِبِ؛ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حَلْفَى، وَتَدَّاوُسُ؛ 4 سِمْعَانُ الْقَانَوِيُّ؛ وَيَهُوذَا الإِسْخَرْيُوطِيُّ الَّذِي خَانَهُ. 5 هؤُلاءِ الاِثْنَا عَشَرَ رَسُولاً، أَرْسَلَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقَدْ أَوْصَاهُمْ قَائِلاً: «لا تَسْلُكُوا طَرِيقاً إِلَى الأُمَمِ، وَلا تَدْخُلُوا مَدِينَةً سَامِرِيَّةً. 6 بَلِ اذْهَبُوا بِالأَوْلَى إِلَى الْخِرَافِ الضَّالَّةِ، إِلَى بَيْتِ إِسْرَائِيلَ. 7 وَفِيمَا أَنْتُمْ ذَاهِبُونَ، بَشِّرُوا قَائِلِينَ: قَدِ اقْتَرَبَ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ. 8 اشْفُوا الْمَرْضَى، وَأَقِيمُوا الْمَوْتَى، وَطَهِّرُوا الْبُرْصَ، وَاطْرُدُوا الشَّيَاطِينَ. مَجَّاناً أَخَذْتُمْ، فَمَجَّاناً أَعْطُوا! 9 لَا تَحْمِلُوا فِي أَحْزِمَتِكُمْ ذَهَباً وَلا فِضَّةً وَلا نُحَاساً، 10 وَلا تَأْخُذُوا لِلطَّرِيقِ زَاداً وَلا ثَوْبَيْنِ وَلا حِذَاءً وَلا عَصاً: فَإِنَّ الْعَامِلَ يَسْتَحِقُّ طَعَامَهُ. 11 وَكُلَّمَا دَخَلْتُمْ مَدِينَةً أَوْ قَرْيَةً، فَابْحَثُوا فِيهَا عَمَّنْ هُوَ مُسْتَحِقٌّ، وَأَقِيمُوا هُنَاكَ حَتَّى تَرْحَلُوا. 12 وَعِنْدَمَا تَدْخُلُونَ بَيْتاً، أَلْقُوا السَّلامَ عَلَيْهِ. 13 فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتُ مُسْتَحِقّاً فِعْلاً، فَلْيَحِلَّ سَلامُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ. وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ مُسْتَحِقّاً، فَلْيَرْجِعْ سَلامُكُمْ لَكُمْ 14 وَإِنْ كَانَ أَحَدٌ لَا يَقْبَلُكُمْ وَلا يَسْمَعُ كَلامَكُمْ فِي بَيْتٍ أَوْ مَدِينَةٍ، فَاخْرُجُوا مِنْ هُنَاكَ، وَانْفُضُوا الْغُبَارَ عَنْ أَقَدَامِكُمْ. 15 الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ حَالَةَ مَدِينَتَيْ سَدُومَ وَعَمُورَةَ سَوْفَ تَكُونُ فِي يَوْمِ الدَّيْنُونَةِ أَخَفَّ وَطْأَةً مِنْ حَالَةِ تِلْكَ الْمَدِينَةِ. 16 هَا أَنَا أُرْسِلُكُمْ مِثْلَ الْخِرَافِ بَيْنَ الذِّئَابِ، فَكُونُوا مُتَنَبِّهِينَ كَالْحَيَّاتِ وَمُسَالِمِينَ كالْحَمَامِ. 17 احْذَرُوا مِنَ النَّاسِ! فَإِنَّهُمْ سَيُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ إِلَى الْمَحَاكِمِ، وَيَجْلِدُونَكُمْ فِي مَجَامِعِهِمْ؛ 18 وَتُسَاقُونَ لِلْمُثُولِ أَمَامَ الْحُكَّامِ وَالْمُلُوكِ مِنْ أَجْلِي: فَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ شَهَادَةً لِي لَدَى الْيَهُودِ وَالأُمَمِ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ. 19 فَحِينَ يُسَلِّمُونَكُمْ، لَا تَهْتَمُّوا كَيْفَ تَتَكَلَّمُونَ أَوْ مَاذَا تَقُولُونَ. فَإِنَّكُمْ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ يُعْطَى لَكُمْ مَا تَقُولُونَ. 20 فَلَسْتُمْ أَنْتُمُ الْمُتَكَلِّمِينَ، بَلْ رُوحُ أَبِيكُمْ هُوَ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ فِيكُمْ. 21 وَسَوْفَ يُسَلِّمُ الأَخُ أَخَاهُ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ، وَالأَبُ وَلَدَهُ. وَيَتَمَرَّدُ الأَوْلادُ عَلَى وَالِدِيهِمْ، وَيَقْتُلُونَهُمْ! 22 وَتَكُونُونَ مَكْرُوهِينَ لَدَى الْجَمِيعِ مِنْ أَجْلِ اسْمِي. وَلَكِنَّ الَّذِي يَثْبُتُ إِلَى النِّهَايَةِ، هُوَ الَّذِي يَخْلُصُ. 23 فَإِذَا اضْطَهَدُوكُمْ فِي مَدِينَةٍ مَا، فَاهْرُبُوا إِلَى غَيْرِهَا. فَإِنِّي الْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: لَنْ تَفْرَغُوا مِنْ مُدُنِ إِسْرَائِيلَ إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتِيَ ابْنُ الإِنْسَانِ. 24 لَيْسَ التِّلْمِيذُ أفْضَلَ مِنَ الْمُعَلِّمِ، وَلا الْعَبْدُ أفْضَلَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ. 25 يَكْفِي التِّلْمِيذَ أَنْ يَصِيرَ مِثْلَ مُعَلِّمِهِ، وَالْعَبْدَ مِثْلَ سَيِّدِهِ! إِنْ كَانُوا قَدْ لَقَّبُوا رَبَّ الْبَيْتِ بِبَعْلَزَبُولَ، فَكَمْ بِالأَوْلَى يُلَقِّبُونَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ؟ 26 فَلا تَخَافُوهُمْ: لأَنَّهُ مَا مِنْ مَحْجُوبٍ لَنْ يُكْشَفَ، وَمَا مِنْ خَفِيٍّ لَنْ يُعْلَنَ! 27 مَا أَقُولُهُ لَكُمْ فِي الظَّلامِ، قُولُوهُ فِي النُّورِ؛ وَمَا تَسْمَعُونَهُ هَمْساً، نَادُوا بِهِ عَلَى السُّطُوحِ. 28 لَا تَخَافُوا الَّذِينَ يَقْتُلُونَ الْجَسَدَ، وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يَعْجِزُونَ عَنْ قَتْلِ النَّفْسِ، بَلْ بِالأَحْرَى خَافُوا الْقَادِرَ أَنْ يُهْلِكَ النَّفْسَ وَالْجَسَدَ جَمِيعاً فِي جَهَنَّمَ. 29 أَمَا يُبَاعُ عُصْفُورَانِ بِفَلْسٍ وَاحِدٍ؟ وَمَعَ ذَلِكَ لَا يَقَعُ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى الأَرْضِ دُونَ عِلْمِ أَبِيكُمْ. 30 وَأَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَحَتَّى شَعْرُ رُؤُوسِكُمْ كُلُّهُ مَعْدُودٌ. 31 فَلا تَخَافُوا إِذَنْ! أَنْتُمْ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عَصَافِيرَ كَثِيرَةٍ. 32 كُلُّ مَنْ يَعْتَرِفُ بِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، أَعْتَرِفُ أَنَا أَيْضاً بِهِ أَمَامَ أَبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. 33 وَكُلُّ مَنْ يُنْكِرُنِي أَمَامَ النَّاسِ، أُنْكِرُهُ أَنَا أَيْضاً أَمَامَ أَبِي الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ. 34 لَا تَظُنُّوا أَنِّي جِئْتُ لأُرْسِيَ سَلاماً عَلَى الأَرْضِ. مَا جِئْتُ لأُرْسِيَ سَلاماً، بَلْ سَيْفاً. 35 فَإِنِّي جِئْتُ لأَجْعَلَ الإِنْسَانَ عَلَى خِلافٍ مَعَ أَبِيهِ، وَالْبِنْتَ مَعَ أُمِّهَا، وَالْكَنَّةَ مَعَ حَمَاتِهَا. 36 وَهَكَذَا يَصِيرُ أَعْدَاءَ الإِنْسَانِ أَهْلُ بَيْتِهِ. 37 مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَبَاهُ أَوْ أُمَّهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي، فَلا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي. وَمَنْ أَحَبَّ ابْنَهُ أَوِ ابْنَتَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنِّي، فَلا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي. 38 وَمَنْ لَا يَحْمِلْ صَلِيبَهُ وَيَتْبَعْنِي، فَهُوَ لَا يَسْتَحِقُّنِي. 39 مَنْ يَتَمَسَّكْ بِحَيَاتِهِ، يَخْسَرْهَا؛ وَمَنْ يَخْسَرْ حَيَاتَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي، فَإِنَّهُ يَرْبَحُهَا. 40 مَنْ يَقْبَلْكُمْ، يَقْبَلْنِي؛ وَمَنْ يَقْبَلْنِي، يَقْبَلِ الَّذِي أَرْسَلَنِي. 41 مَنْ يُرَحِّبْ بِنَبِيٍّ لِكَوْنِهِ نَبِيًّا، فَإِنَّهُ يَنَالُ مُكَافَأَةَ نَبِيٍّ؛ وَمَنْ يُرَحِّبْ بِرَجُلٍ صَالِحٍ لِكَوْنِهِ صَالِحاً، فَإِنَّهُ يَنَالُ مُكَافَأَةَ بَارٍّ. 42 وَأَيُّ مَنْ سَقَى وَاحِداً مِنْ هؤُلاءِ الصِّغَارِ وَلَوْ كَأْسَ مَاءٍ بَارِدٍ، فَقَطْ لأَنَّهُ تِلْمِيذٌ لِي، فَالْحَقَّ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ: إِنَّ مُكَافَأَتَهُ لَنْ تَضِيعَ أَبَداً».
