- 1. And hee called his twelue disciples vnto him, and gaue them power against vncleane spirits, to cast them out, and to heale euery sickenesse, and euery disease.
- 2. Nowe the names of the twelue Apostles are these. The first is Simon, called Peter, and Andrewe his brother: Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn his brother.
- 3. Philippe and Bartlemewe: Thomas, and Matthewe that Publicane: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, & Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus:
- 4. Simon the Cananite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him.
- 5. These twelue did Iesus send forth, & commaunded them, saying, Goe not into the way of of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter yee not:
- 6. But goe rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.
- 7. And as ye goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand.
- 8. Heale the sicke: cleanse the lepers: raise vp the dead: cast out the deuils. Freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.
- 9. Possesse not golde, nor siluer, nor money in your girdels,
- 10. Nor a scrippe for the iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor a staffe: for the workeman is worthie of his meate.
- 11. And into whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till yee goe thence.
- 12. And when yee come into an house, salute the same.
- 13. And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthie, let your peace returne to you.
- 14. And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your woordes, when yee depart out of that house, or that citie, shake off the dust of your feete.
- 15. Truely I say vnto you, it shall be easier for them of the lande of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgement, then for that citie.
- 16. Behold, I send you as sheepe in the middes of the wolues: be yee therefore wise as serpents, and innocent as doues.
- 17. But beware of men, for they will deliuer you vp to the Councils, and will scourge you in their Synagogues.
- 18. And ye shal be brought to the gouernours and Kings for my sake, in witnes to them, and to the Gentiles.
- 19. But when they deliuer you vp, take no thought howe or what ye shall speake: for it shall be giuen you in that houre, what ye shall say.
- 20. For it is not yee that speake, but the spirite of your father which speaketh in you.
- 21. And the brother shall betray the brother to death, and the father the sonne, and the children shal rise against their parents, and shall cause them to die.
- 22. And yee shall be hated of all men for my Name: but he that endureth to the end, he shall be saued.
- 23. And when they persecute you in this citie, flee into another: for verely I say vnto you, yee shall not goe ouer all the cities of Israel, till the Sonne of man be come.
- 24. The disciple is not aboue his master, nor the seruant aboue his Lord.
- 25. It is ynough for the disciple to bee as his master is, and the seruaunt as his Lorde. If they haue called the master of the house Beel-zebub, howe much more them of his housholde?
- 26. Feare them not therefore: for there is nothing couered, that shall not be disclosed, nor hid, that shall not be knowen.
- 27. What I tell you in darkenesse, that speake yee in light: and what yee heare in the eare, that preach yee on the houses.
- 28. And feare yee not them which kill the bodie, but are nor able to kill the soule: but rather feare him, which is able to destroy both soule and bodie in hell.

- 30. Yea, and all the heares of your head are nombred.
- 31. Feare ye not therefore, yee are of more value then many sparowes.
- 32. Whosoeuer therefore shall confesse me before men, him will I confesse also before my Father which is in heauen.
- 33. But whosoeuer shall denie me before me, him will I also denie before my Father which is in heauen.
- 34. Thinke not that I am come to sende peace into the earth: I came not to send peace, but the sworde.
- 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 lawe.
- 36. And a mans enemies shall be they of his owne housholde.
- 37. He that loueth father or mother more then me, is not worthie of me; he that loueth sonne, or daughter more then mee, is not worthie of me.
- 38. And hee that taketh not his crosse, and followeth after me, is not worthie of me.
- 39. He that will finde his life, shall lose it: & he that loseth his life for my sake, shal finde it.
- 40. He that receiueth you, receiueth me: and hee that receiueth mee, receiueth him that hath sent me.
- 41. Hee that receiueth a Prophet in the name of a Prophet, shall receiue a Prophetes rewarde: and hee that receiueth a righteous man, in the name of a righteous man, shall receiue the rewarde of a righteous man.
- 42. And whosoeuer shall giue vnto one of these litle ones to drinke a cuppe of colde water onely, in the name of a disciple, verely I say vnto you, he shall not lose his rewarde.
