1 And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.
2 Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
4 Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who was false to him.
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,
6 But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,
7 And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.
8 Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.
9 Take no gold or silver or copper in your pockets;
10 Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.
11 And into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.
12 And when you go in, say, May peace be on this house.
13 And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.
14 And whoever will not take you in, or give ear to your words, when you go out from that house or that town, put off its dust from your feet.
15 Truly I say to you, It will be better for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of God's judging than for that town.
16 See, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Be then as wise as snakes, and as gentle as doves.
17 But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;
18 And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
19 But when you are given up into their hands, do not be troubled about what to say or how to say it: for in that hour what you are to say will be given to you;
20 Because it is not you who say the words, but the Spirit of your Father in you.
21 And brother will give up brother to death, and the father his child: and children will go against their fathers and mothers, and put them to death.
22 And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.
23 But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.
24 A disciple is not greater than his master, or a servant than his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!
26 Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.
27 What I say to you in the dark, say in the light: and what comes to your ear secretly, say publicly from the house-tops.
28 And have no fear of those who put to death the body, but are not able to put to death the soul. But have fear of him who has power to give soul and body to destruction in hell.
29 Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:
30 But the hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Then have no fear; you are of more value than a flock of sparrows.
32 To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.
33 But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.
34 Do not have the thought that I have come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.
35 For I have come to put a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:
36 And a man will be hated by those of his house.
37 He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.
38 And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.
39 He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.
40 He who gives honour to you gives honour to me; and he who gives honour to me gives honour to him who sent me.
41 He who gives honour to a prophet, in the name of a prophet, will be given a prophet's reward; and he who gives honour to an upright man, in the name of an upright man, will be given an upright man's reward.
42 And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not go without his reward.
1 A, ka oti te karanga e ia ana akonga tekau ma rua, ka hoatu ki a ratou he mana hei pei i nga wairua poke, hei whakaora hoki i nga mate katoa me nga turorotanga katoa.
2 Na ko nga ingoa enei o nga apotoro kotahi tekau ma rua; te tuatahi ko Haimona, e kiia nei ko Pita, raua ko tona teina ko Anaru; ko Hemi tama a Heperi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani;
3 Ko Piripi raua ko Patoromu; ko Tamati raua ko Matiu pupirikana; ko Hemi tama a Arapiu, ko Tariu;
4 Ko Haimona Kanaani raua ko Hura Ikariote, nana nei ia i tuku.
5 Ko tenei tekau ma rua i tonoa e Ihu, i ako ia i a ratou, i mea, Kaua e haere ki tetahi ara o nga tauiwi, kaua ano hoki e tomo ki tetahi pa o nga Hamari:
6 Engari me haere ki nga hipi ngaro o te whare o Iharaira.
7 Me kauwhau haere hoki, me ki, Kua tata te rangatiratanga o te rangi.
8 Whakaorangia nga turoro, meinga kia ma nga repera, whakaarahia nga tupapaku, peia nga rewera; ka riro noa nei i a koutou, me hoatu noa e koutou.
9 Kaua he koura ma koutou, kaua he hiriwa, kaua he parahi ki roto ki o koutou whitiki;
10 Kaua ano he putea mo te ara; kaua e takiruatia nga koti, kaua he hu, kaua ano he tokotoko; ka ea hoki i te kaimahi tana kai.
11 A, ka tomo koutou ki tetahi pa, ki tetahi kainga ranei, ui atu, ko wai te tangata pai o reira; a hei reira noho ai a haere noa.
12 A, no ka tomo ki tetahi whare, me oha atu.
13 A, ki te pai te whare, kia tau ta koutou rangimarie ki reira; a, ki te kahore e pai, kia hoki ta koutou rangimarie ki a koutou.
14 Ki te kahore hoki tetahi e manako ki a koutou, ki te kore e whakarongo ki a koutou kupu, ka haere koutou ki waho o taua whare, o taua pa ranei, ka whakangahoro i te puehu o o koutou waewae.
15 He pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, Erangi to te whenua o Horoma raua ko Komora a te ra whakawa e mama i to taua pa.
16 Nana, ka tonoa nei koutou e ahau ano he hipi ki roto ki nga wuruhi: na, kia rite ki te nakahi te mahara, ki te kukupa hoki te mahaki.
17 Kia tupato ia i nga tangata: tera hoki koutou e tukua e ratou ki nga runanga, a tera koutou e whiua i roto i o ratou whare karakia;
18 A ka kawea koutou ki nga kawana, ki nga kingi, mo te whakaaro ki ahau, hei mea whakaatu ki a ratou, ki nga tauiwi hoki.
19 A, no ka tukua koutou e ratou, kaua e manukanuka ki te pehea, ki te aha, e korero ai koutou; ka hoatu ki a koutou i taua wa ta koutou e korero ai.
20 Ehara hoki i a koutou nga korero, engari ko te Wairua o to koutou Matua te korero ana i roto i a koutou.
21 Na ka tukua te tuakana e te teina ki te mate, te tama hoki e te papa; ka whakatika nga tamariki ki nga matua, ka mea kia whakamatea.
22 A ka kinongia koutou e nga tangata katoa, he mea hoki mo toku ingoa; ko te tangata ia e u ana a taea noatia te mutunga, ka ora ia.
23 Na, ki te whakatoia koutou i tenei pa, rere atu ki tetahi: he pono hoki taku e mea nei ki a koutou, E kore e poto i a koutou nga pa o Iharaira te haere, ko te Tama a te tangata kua tae mai.
24 Kahore e nui ake te akonga i tona kaiwhakaako, kahore hoki te pononga e nui ake i tona rangatira.
25 Heoi ma te akonga ko ia kia rite ki tona kaiwhakaako, ma te pononga kia rite ki tona rangatira. Ki te kiia e ratou te rangatira o te whare ko Perehepura, tera noa ake ta ratou mo nga tangata o tona whare.
26 Na kaua e wehi i a ratou: kahore hoki he mea i hipokina e mahue te hura; he mea ranei i huna e mahue te mohio.
27 Ko taku e korero nei ki a koutou i te pouri, me korero e koutou i te marama: ko ta o koutou taringa e rongo ai, me kauwhau ki runga i nga whare.
28 A kaua e wehi i te hunga e whakamate nei i te tinana, a e kore nei e ahei te whakamate i te wairua; engari ia ko ta koutou e wehi ai, ko ia e kaha nei ki te whakangaro i te wairua raua tahi ko te tinana ki roto ki Kehena.
29 Kahore ianei e hokona nga pihoihoi e rua ki te patene kotahi? a, ki te kahore to koutou Matua e mea, e kore tetahi o raua e taka ki te whenua:
30 Otiia ko nga makawe o o koutou matenga kua oti katoa te tatau.
31 No reira kaua e wehi: erangi ra koutou i nga pihoihoi maha.
32 Na, ki te whakaae tetahi ki ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakaaetia ia e ahau i te aroaro o toku Matua i te rangi.
33 A, ki te whakakahore tetahi i ahau i te aroaro o nga tangata, ka whakakahoretia hoki ia e ahau i te aroaro o toku Matua i te rangi.
34 Kei mea i haere mai ahau ki te kawe mai i te rangimarie ki te whenua: kihai ahau i haere mai ki te kawe mai i te rangimarie, engari i te hoari.
35 I haere mai hoki ahau ki te mea i te tangata kia whawhai ki tona papa, i te tamahine ki tona whaea, i te hunaonga wahine ki tona hungawai wahine:
36 A ko o te tangata hoariri ko nga tangata ano o tona whare.
37 Ki te nui ake te aroha o tetahi ki tona papa, whaea ranei, i tona ki ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku; ki te nui ake hoki te aroha o tetahi ki tana tama, tamahine ranei, i tona ki ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku.
38 Ki te kore hoki tetahi e mau ki tona ripeka, e aru i muri i ahau, e kore ia e tikangatia maku.
39 Ko te tangata i whiwhi ki te ora e mate ano ia: a, kite mate tetahi mona i whakaaro ki ahau, ka whiwhi ano ia ki te ora.
40 Ki te manako tetahi ki a koutou, e manako ana ia ki ahau, a, ki te manako tetahi ki ahau, e manako ana ia ki toku kaitono mai.
41 Ki te manako tetahi ki te poropiti i runga i te ingoa o te poropiti, ka riro i a ia te utu o te poropiti; a, ki te manako tetahi ki te tangata tika i runga i te ingoa o te tangata tika, e riro i a ia te utu o te tangata tika.
42 A, ki te whakainumia e tetahi tetahi o enei mea nonohi, ahakoa kotahi ano te kapu wai matao, i runga i te ingoa o te akonga, he pono taku e mea nei ki a koutou, e kore rawa ia e hapa i tona utu.
