| 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. | The Mission of the Twelve Mt.10.1-4 | Mk.3.13-19 | Lk.6.12-16 |
| The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zeb'edee, and John his brother; | |
| Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; | |
| Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. | |
| These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, | The Commissioning of the Twelve Mt.10.5-15 | Mk.6.7-13 | Lk.9.1-6 |
| but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. | |
| And preach as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' | |
| Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay. | |
| Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, | |
| no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food. | |
| And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart. | |
| As you enter the house, salute it. | |
| And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. | |
| 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. | |
| Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomor'rah than for that town. | |
| "Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. | Coming Persecutions Mt.10.16-25 | Mk.13.9-13 | Lk.21.12-17 |
| Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues, | |
| and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles. | |
| 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; | |
| for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. | |
| Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death; | |
| and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. | |
| 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. | |
| "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master; | |
| 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 Be-el'zebul, how much more will they malign those of his household. | |
| "So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. | Whom to Fear Mt.10.26-31 | Lk.12.2-7 |
| What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops. | |
| 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. | |
| Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will. | |
| But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. | |
| Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. | |
| So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven; | Confessing Christ before Men Mt.10.32-33 | Lk.12.8-9 |
| but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven. | |
| "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. | Not Peace, but a Sword Mt.10.34-39 | Lk.12.51-53 | Lk.14.26-27 |
| 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; | |
| and a man's foes will be those of his own household. | - and a man's foes will be those of his own household. Mt.10.36 | Mic.7.6 |
| 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; | |
| and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. | |
| He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. | |
| "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. | Rewards Mt.10.40-42 | Mk.9.41 |
| 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. | |
| 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." | |
