""Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. "Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father's will. "But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. "Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. " Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. "But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven. "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. "For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; "and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' "He who loves father or mother more th

""Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. "But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues. "You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. "But when they deliver you up. Do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; "for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you. "Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. "And you will be hated by all for my names sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. "When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. "A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant abo

"And when He had called his twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness ad all kinds of disease. Now 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; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus: Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying; "Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans. "But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'"Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have recived, freely give. "Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts, "nor bag for your journey; nor two tunics,

"When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, "Son of David, have mercy on us!" And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him "Yes Lord." Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith let it be to you." And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, "See that no one knows it." But when they had departed, they spread the news about him in all that country. As they went out, behold, they brought to Him a man, mute and demon-possessed. And when the demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying, "It was never seen like this in Israel!" But the Pharisees said, " He casts out demons by the ruler of the demons." Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But

"Sedan kom Johannes lärjungar fram till honom och frågade: "Varför fastar inte dina lärjungar, när vi och fariseerna fastar?" Jesus svarade dem: "Bröllopsgästerna kan väl inte sörja medan brudgummen är hos dem? Men det ska komma dagar när brudgummen tas ifrån dem, och då kommer de att fasta. Ingen sätter en lapp av okrympt tyg på en gammal mantel. I så fall river lappen bort ännu mer från manteln och revan blir värre. Och man häller inte nytt vin i gamla säckar. I så fall sprängs säckarna och vinet rinner ut och säckarna förstörs. Nej, nytt vin häller man i nya säckar. Då bevaras både vin och säckar." Medan Jesus talade till dem, kom en synagogföreståndare och föll ner för honom och sade: "Min dotter har just dött. Men kom och lägg din hand på henne, så får hon liv igen." Då reste sig Jesus och följde med honom, tillsammans med sina lärjungar. Plötsligt kom en kvinna som hade haft blödningar i tolv år. Hon närmade sig Jesus bakifrån och rörde vid hörntofsen på hans mantel, för hon tänk
