WEB·Matthew 11

¹When Jesus had finished directing his twelve disciples, he departed from there to teach and preach in their cities.

KJVAnd^G2532 it came to pass^G1096^(G5633), when^G3753 Jesus^G2424 had made an end^G5055^(G5656) of commanding^G1299^(G5723) his^G846 twelve^G1427 disciples^G3101, he departed^G3327^(G5627) thence^G1564 to teach^G1321^(G5721) and^G2532 to preach^G2784^(G5721) in^G1722 their^G846 cities^G4172.

² Now when John heard in the prison the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples

KJVNow^G1161 when John^G2491 had heard^G191^(G5660) in^G1722 the prison^G1201 the works^G2041 of Christ^G5547, he sent^G3992^(G5660) two^G1417 of his^G846 disciples^G3101,

³ and said to him, “Are you he who comes, or should we look for another?”

KJVAnd said^G2036^(G5627) unto him^G846, Art^G1488^(G5748) thou^G4771 he that should come^G2064^(G5740), or^G2228 do we look^G4328^(G5719) for another^G2087?

⁴ Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see:

KJVJesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and^G2532 said^G2036^(G5627) unto them^G846, Go^G4198^(G5679) and shew^G518 John^G2491 again^G518^(G5657) those things which^G3739 ye do hear^G191^(G5719) and^G2532 see^G991^(G5719):

⁵ the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them.

KJVThe blind^G5185 receive their sight^G308^(G5719), and^G2532 the lame^G5560 walk^G4043^(G5719), the lepers^G3015 are cleansed^G2511^(G5743), and^G2532 the deaf^G2974 hear^G191^(G5719), the dead^G3498 are raised up^G1453^(G5743), and^G2532 the poor^G4434 have the gospel preached to them^G2097^(G5743).

⁶ Blessed is he who finds no occasion for stumbling in me.”

KJVAnd^G2532 blessed^G3107 is^G2076^(G5748) he, whosoever^G3739 shall^G4624 not^G3362 be offended^G4624^(G5686) in^G1722 me^G1698.

⁷ As these went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John, “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

KJVAnd^G1161 as^G5130 they departed^G4198^(G5740), Jesus^G2424 began^G756^(G5662) to say^G3004^(G5721) unto the multitudes^G3793 concerning^G4012 John^G2491, What^G5101 went ye^G1831^(G5627) out into^G1519 the wilderness^G2048 to see^G2300^(G5664)? A reed^G2563 shaken^G4531^(G5746) with^G5259 the wind^G417?

⁸ But what did you go out to see? A man in soft clothing? Behold, those who wear soft clothing are in kings’ houses.

KJVBut^G235 what^G5101 went ye out^G1831^(G5627) for to see^G1492^(G5629)? A man^G444 clothed^G294^(G5772) in^G1722 soft^G3120 raiment^G2440? behold^G2400^(G5628), they that wear^G5409^(G5723) soft^G3120 clothing are^G1526^(G5748) in^G1722 kings^G935' houses^G3624.

⁹ But why did you go out? To see a prophet? Yes, I tell you, and much more than a prophet.

KJVBut^G235 what^G5101 went ye out^G1831^(G5627) for to see^G1492^(G5629)? A prophet^G4396? yea^G3483, I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, and^G2532 more^G4055 than a prophet^G4396.

¹⁰ For this is he, of whom it is written, ‘Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.’

KJVFor^G1063 this^G3778 is^G2076^(G5748) he, of^G4012 whom^G3739 it is written^G1125^(G5769), Behold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 send^G649^(G5719) my^G3450 messenger^G32 before^G4253 thy^G4675 face^G4383, which^G3739 shall prepare^G2680^(G5692) thy^G4675 way^G3598 before^G1715 thee^G4675.

¹¹ Most certainly I tell you, among those who are born of women there has not arisen anyone greater than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he.

KJVVerily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Among^G1722 them that are born^G1084 of women^G1135 there hath^G1453 not^G3756 risen^G1453^(G5769) a greater than^G3187 John^G2491 the Baptist^G910: notwithstanding^G1161 he that is least^G3398 in^G1722 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is^G2076^(G5748) greater than^G3187 he^G846.

¹² From the days of John the Baptizer until now, the Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

KJVAnd^G1161 from^G575 the days^G2250 of John^G2491 the Baptist^G910 until^G2193 now^G737 the kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 suffereth violence^G971^(G5743), and^G2532 the violent^G973 take^G726 it^G846 by force^G726^(G5719).

¹³ For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.

KJVFor^G1063 all^G3956 the prophets^G4396 and^G2532 the law^G3551 prophesied^G4395^(G5656) until^G2193 John^G2491.

¹⁴ If you are willing to receive it, this is Elijah, who is to come.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1487 ye will^G2309^(G5719) receive^G1209^(G5664) it, this^G846 is^G2076^(G5748) Elias^G2243, which^G3588 was for^G3195^(G5723) to come^G2064^(G5738).

¹⁵ He who has ears to hear, let him hear.

KJVHe that hath^G2192^(G5723) ears^G3775 to hear^G191^(G5721), let him hear^G191^(G5720).

¹⁶ “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions

KJVBut^G1161 whereunto^G5101 shall I liken^G3666^(G5692) this^G5026 generation^G1074? It is^G2076^(G5748) like^G3664 unto children^G3808 sitting^G2521^(G5740) in^G1722 the markets^G58, and^G2532 calling^G4377^(G5723) unto their^G846 fellows^G2083,

¹⁷ and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned for you, and you didn’t lament.’

KJVAnd^G2532 saying^G3004^(G5723), We have piped^G832^(G5656) unto you^G5213, and^G2532 ye have^G3738 not^G3756 danced^G3738^(G5662); we have mourned^G2354^(G5656) unto you^G5213, and^G2532 ye have^G2875 not^G3756 lamented^G2875^(G5668).

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

KJVFor^G1063 John^G2491 came^G2064^(G5627) neither^G3383 eating^G2068^(G5723) nor^G3383 drinking^G4095^(G5723), and^G2532 they say^G3004^(G5719), He hath^G2192^(G5719) a devil^G1140.

¹⁹ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”

KJVThe Son^G5207 of man^G444 came^G2064^(G5627) eating^G2068^(G5723) and^G2532 drinking^G4095^(G5723), and^G2532 they say^G3004^(G5719), Behold^G2400^(G5628) a man^G444 gluttonous^G5314, and^G2532 a winebibber^G3630, a friend^G5384 of publicans^G5057 and^G2532 sinners^G268. But^G2532 wisdom^G4678 is justified^G1344^(G5681) of^G575 her^G846 children^G5043.

²⁰ Then he began to denounce the cities in which most of his mighty works had been done, because they didn’t repent.

KJVThen^G5119 began he^G756^(G5662) to upbraid^G3679^(G5721) the cities^G4172 wherein^G1722^G3739 most^G4118 of his^G846 mighty works^G1411 were done^G1096^(G5633), because^G3754 they repented^G3340^(G5656) not^G3756:

²¹ “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works had been done in Tyre and Sidon which were done in you, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

KJVWoe^G3759 unto thee^G4671, Chorazin^G5523! woe^G3759 unto thee^G4671, Bethsaida^G966! for^G3754 if^G1487 the mighty works^G1411, which^G3588 were done^G1096^(G5637) in^G1722 you^G5213, had been done^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 Tyre^G5184 and^G2532 Sidon^G4605, they would have repented^G3340^(G5656) long ago^G302^G3819 in^G1722 sackcloth^G4526 and^G2532 ashes^G4700.

²² But I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you.

KJVBut^G4133 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, It shall be^G2071^(G5704) more tolerable^G414 for Tyre^G5184 and^G2532 Sidon^G4605 at^G1722 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920, than^G2228 for you^G5213.

²³ You, Capernaum, who are exalted to heaven, you will go down to Hades. For if the mighty works had been done in Sodom which were done in you, it would have remained until today.

KJVAnd^G2532 thou^G4771, Capernaum^G2584, which^G3588 art exalted^G5312^(G5685) unto^G2193 heaven^G3772, shalt be brought down^G2601^(G5701) to^G2193 hell^G86: for^G3754 if^G1487 the mighty works^G1411, which^G3588 have been done^G1096^(G5637) in^G1722 thee^G4671, had been done^G1096^(G5633) in^G1722 Sodom^G4670, it would have remained^G302^G3306^(G5656) until^G3360 this day^G4594.

²⁴ But I tell you that it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom on the day of judgment, than for you.”

KJVBut^G4133 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, That^G3754 it shall be^G2071^(G5704) more tolerable^G414 for the land^G1093 of Sodom^G4670 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920, than^G2228 for thee^G4671.

²⁵ At that time, Jesus answered, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you hid these things from the wise and understanding, and revealed them to infants.

KJVAt^G1722 that^G1565 time^G2540 Jesus^G2424 answered^G611^(G5679) and said^G2036^(G5627), I thank^G1843^(G5731) thee^G4671, O Father^G3962, Lord^G2962 of heaven^G3772 and^G2532 earth^G1093, because^G3754 thou hast hid^G613^(G5656) these things^G5023 from^G575 the wise^G4680 and^G2532 prudent^G4908, and^G2532 hast revealed^G601^(G5656) them^G846 unto babes^G3516.

²⁶ Yes, Father, for so it was well-pleasing in your sight.

KJVEven so^G3483, Father^G3962: for^G3754 so^G3779 it seemed^G1096^(G5633) good^G2107 in thy^G4675 sight^G1715.

²⁷ All things have been delivered to me by my Father. No one knows the Son, except the Father; neither does anyone know the Father, except the Son and he to whom the Son desires to reveal him.

KJVAll things^G3956 are delivered^G3860^(G5681) unto me^G3427 of^G5259 my^G3450 Father^G3962: and^G2532 no man^G3762 knoweth^G1921^(G5719) the Son^G5207, but^G1508 the Father^G3962; neither^G3761 knoweth^G1921^(G5719) any man^G5100 the Father^G3962, save^G1508 the Son^G5207, and he^G2532 to^G3739 whomsoever^G1437 the Son^G5207 will^G1014^(G5741) reveal^G601^(G5658) him.

²⁸ “Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

KJVCome^G1205^(G5773) unto^G4314 me^G3165, all^G3956 ye that labour^G2872^(G5723) and^G2532 are heavy laden^G5412^(G5772), and I^G2504 will give^G373 you^G5209 rest^G373^(G5692).

²⁹ Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart; and you will find rest for your souls.

KJVTake^G142^(G5657) my^G3450 yoke^G2218 upon^G1909 you^G5209, and^G2532 learn^G3129^(G5628) of^G575 me^G1700; for^G3754 I am^G1510^(G5748) meek^G4235 and^G2532 lowly^G5011 in heart^G2588: and^G2532 ye shall find^G2147^(G5692) rest^G372 unto your^G5216 souls^G5590.

³⁰ For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”

KJVFor^G1063 my^G3450 yoke^G2218 is easy^G5543, and^G2532 my^G3450 burden^G5413 is^G2076^(G5748) light^G1645.

WEB·Matthew 10

¹He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.

KJVAnd^G2532 when he had called^G4341^(G5666) unto him his^G846 twelve^G1427 disciples^G3101, he gave^G1325^(G5656) them^G846 power^G1849 against unclean^G169 spirits^G4151, to^G5620 cast^G1544 them^G846 out^G1544^(G5721), and^G2532 to heal^G2323^(G5721) all manner^G3956 of sickness^G3554 and^G2532 all manner^G3956 of disease^G3119.

² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;

⁴ Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

KJVSimon^G4613 the Canaanite^G2581, and^G2532 Judas^G2455 Iscariot^G2469, who^G3588 also^G2532 betrayed^G3860^(G5631) him^G846.

⁵ Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.

KJVThese^G5128 twelve^G1427 Jesus^G2424 sent forth^G649^(G5656), and commanded^G3853^(G5660) them^G846, saying^G3004^(G5723), Go^G565^(G5632) not^G3361 into^G1519 the way^G3598 of the Gentiles^G1484, and^G2532 into^G1519 any city^G4172 of the Samaritans^G4541 enter ye^G1525^(G5632) not^G3361:

⁶ Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

KJVBut^G1161 go^G4198^(G5737) rather^G3123 to^G4314 the lost^G622^(G5756) sheep^G4263 of the house^G3624 of Israel^G2474.

⁷ As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’

KJVAnd^G1161 as ye go^G4198^(G5740), preach^G2784^(G5720), saying^G3004^(G5723),^G3754 The kingdom^G932 of heaven^G3772 is at hand^G1448^(G5758).

⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

KJVHeal^G2323^(G5720) the sick^G770^(G5723), cleanse^G2511^(G5720) the lepers^G3015, raise^G1453^(G5720) the dead^G3498, cast out^G1544^(G5720) devils^G1140: freely^G1432 ye have received^G2983^(G5627), freely^G1432 give^G1325^(G5628).

⁹ Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.

KJVProvide^G2932^(G5667) neither^G3361 gold^G5557, nor^G3366 silver^G696, nor^G3366 brass^G5475 in^G1519 your^G5216 purses^G2223,

¹⁰ Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

KJVNor^G3361 scrip^G4082 for^G1519 your journey^G3598, neither^G3366 two^G1417 coats^G5509, neither^G3366 shoes^G5266, nor^G3366 yet staves^G4464: for^G1063 the workman^G2040 is^G2076^(G5748) worthy^G514 of his^G846 meat^G5160.

¹¹ Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.

KJVAnd^G1161 into^G1519 whatsoever^G302^G3739 city^G4172 or^G2228 town^G2968 ye shall enter^G1525^(G5632), enquire^G1833^(G5657) who^G5101 in^G1722 it^G846 is^G2076^(G5748) worthy^G514; and there^G2546 abide^G3306^(G5657) till^G302^G2193 ye go thence^G1831^(G5632).

¹² As you enter into the household, greet it.

KJVAnd^G1161 when ye come^G1525^(G5740) into^G1519 an house^G3614, salute^G782^(G5663) it^G846.

¹³ If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.

KJVAnd^G2532 if^G1437^G3303 the house^G3614 be^G5600^(G5753) worthy^G514, let your^G5216 peace^G1515 come^G2064^(G5628) upon^G1909 it^G846: but^G1161 if^G3362 it be^G5600^(G5753) not^G3362 worthy^G514, let your^G5216 peace^G1515 return^G1994^(G5649) to^G4314 you^G5209.

¹⁴ Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3739 shall^G1209 not^G3362 receive^G1209^(G5667) you^G5209, nor^G3366 hear^G191^(G5661) your^G5216 words^G3056, when ye depart out^G1831^(G5740) of that^G1565 house^G3614 or^G2228 city^G4172, shake off^G1621^(G5657) the dust^G2868 of your^G5216 feet^G4228.

¹⁵ Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

KJVVerily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, It shall be^G2071^(G5704) more tolerable^G414 for the land^G1093 of Sodom^G4670 and^G2532 Gomorrha^G1116 in^G1722 the day^G2250 of judgment^G2920, than^G2228 for that^G1565 city^G4172.

¹⁶ “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

KJVBehold^G2400^(G5628), I^G1473 send^G649 you^G5209 forth^G649^(G5719) as^G5613 sheep^G4263 in^G1722 the midst^G3319 of wolves^G3074: be ye^G1096^(G5737) therefore^G3767 wise^G5429 as^G5613 serpents^G3789, and^G2532 harmless^G185 as^G5613 doves^G4058.

¹⁷ But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

KJVBut^G1161 beware^G4337^(G5720) of^G575 men^G444: for^G1063 they will deliver^G3860 you^G5209 up^G3860^(G5692) to^G1519 the councils^G4892, and^G2532 they will scourge^G3146^(G5692) you^G5209 in^G1722 their^G846 synagogues^G4864;

¹⁸ Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

KJVAnd^G2532 ye shall be brought^G71^(G5701) before^G1909 governors^G2232 and^G2532^G1161 kings^G935 for my^G1752 sake^G1700, for^G1519 a testimony^G3142 against them^G846 and^G2532 the Gentiles^G1484.

¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G3752 they deliver^G3860 you^G5209 up^G3860^(G5725), take^G3309 no^G3361 thought^G3309^(G5661) how^G4459 or^G2228 what^G5101 ye shall speak^G2980^(G5661): for^G1063 it shall be given^G1325^(G5701) you^G5213 in^G1722 that same^G1565 hour^G5610 what^G5101 ye shall speak^G2980^(G5692).

²⁰ For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

KJVFor^G1063 it is^G2075^(G5748) not^G3756 ye^G5210 that speak^G2980^(G5723), but^G235 the Spirit^G4151 of your^G5216 Father^G3962 which^G3588 speaketh^G2980^(G5723) in^G1722 you^G5213.

²¹ “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.

KJVAnd^G1161 the brother^G80 shall deliver up^G3860^(G5692) the brother^G80 to^G1519 death^G2288, and^G2532 the father^G3962 the child^G5043: and^G2532 the children^G5043 shall rise up^G1881^(G5695) against^G1909 their parents^G1118, and^G2532 cause^G2289 them^G846 to be put to death^G2289^(G5692).

²² You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

KJVAnd^G2532 ye shall^G2071^(G5704) be hated^G3404^(G5746) of^G5259 all^G3956 men for^G1223 my^G3450 name's sake^G3686: but^G1161 he that^G3778 endureth^G5278^(G5660) to^G1519 the end^G5056 shall be saved^G4982^(G5701).

²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel until the Son of Man has come.

KJVBut^G1161 when^G3752 they persecute^G1377^(G5725) you^G5209 in^G1722 this^G5026 city^G4172, flee ye^G5343^(G5720) into^G1519 another^G243: for^G1063 verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, Ye shall^G5055 not^G3364 have gone over^G5055^(G5661) the cities^G4172 of Israel^G2474, till^G2193 the Son^G5207 of man^G444 be^G302 come^G2064^(G5632).

²⁴ “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his lord.

KJVThe disciple^G3101 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 above^G5228 his master^G1320, nor^G3761 the servant^G1401 above^G5228 his^G846 lord^G2962.

²⁵ It is enough for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant like his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more those of his household!

KJVIt is enough^G713 for the disciple^G3101 that^G2443 he be^G1096^(G5638) as^G5613 his^G846 master^G1320, and^G2532 the servant^G1401 as^G5613 his^G846 lord^G2962. If^G1487 they have called^G2564^(G5656) the master of the house^G3617 Beelzebub^G954, how much^G4214 more^G3123 shall they call them of his^G846 household^G3615?

²⁶ Therefore don’t be afraid of them, for there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

KJVFear^G5399^(G5676) them^G846 not^G3361 therefore^G3767: for^G1063 there is^G2076^(G5748) nothing^G3762 covered^G2572^(G5772), that^G3739 shall^G601 not^G3756 be revealed^G601^(G5701); and^G2532 hid^G2927, that^G3739 shall^G1097 not^G3756 be known^G1097^(G5701).

²⁷ What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

KJVWhat^G3739 I tell^G3004^(G5719) you^G5213 in^G1722 darkness^G4653, that speak ye^G2036^(G5628) in^G1722 light^G5457: and^G2532 what^G3739 ye hear^G191^(G5719) in^G1519 the ear^G3775, that preach ye^G2784^(G5657) upon^G1909 the housetops^G1430.

²⁸ Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

KJVAnd^G2532 fear^G5399^(G5676)^G575 not^G3361 them which^G3588 kill^G615^(G5723) the body^G4983, but^G1161 are^G1410 not^G3361 able^G1410^(G5740) to kill^G615^(G5658) the soul^G5590: but^G1161 rather^G3123 fear^G5399^(G5676) him which^G3588 is able^G1410^(G5740) to destroy^G622^(G5658) both^G2532 soul^G5590 and^G2532 body^G4983 in^G1722 hell^G1067.

²⁹ “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin? Not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.

KJVAre^G4453 not^G3780 two^G1417 sparrows^G4765 sold^G4453^(G5743) for a farthing^G787? and^G2532 one^G1520 of^G1537 them^G846 shall^G4098 not^G3756 fall^G4098^(G5695) on^G1909 the ground^G1093 without^G427 your^G5216 Father^G3962.

³⁰ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

KJVBut^G1161 the very^G2532 hairs^G2359 of your^G5216 head^G2776 are^G1526^(G5748) all^G3956 numbered^G705^(G5772).

³¹ Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

KJVFear ye^G5399^(G5676) not^G3361 therefore^G3767, ye^G5210 are of more value^G1308^(G5719) than many^G4183 sparrows^G4765.

³² Everyone therefore who confesses me before men, I will also confess him before my Father who is in heaven.

KJVWhosoever^G3956^G3748 therefore^G3767 shall confess^G3670^(G5692)^G1722 me^G1698 before^G1715 men^G444,^G1722 him^G846 will I confess^G3670^(G5692) also^G2504 before^G1715 my^G3450 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

³³ But whoever denies me before men, I will also deny him before my Father who is in heaven.

KJVBut^G1161 whosoever^G3748 shall^G302 deny^G720^(G5667) me^G3165 before^G1715 men^G444, him^G846 will I also^G2504 deny^G720^(G5695) before^G1715 my^G3450 Father^G3962 which^G3588 is in^G1722 heaven^G3772.

³⁴ “Don’t think that I came to send peace on the earth. I didn’t come to send peace, but a sword.

KJVThink^G3543^(G5661) not^G3361 that^G3754 I am come^G2064^(G5627) to send^G906^(G5629) peace^G1515 on^G1909 earth^G1093: I came^G2064^(G5627) not^G3756 to send^G906^(G5629) peace^G1515, but^G235 a sword^G3162.

³⁵ For I came to set a man at odds against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.

KJVFor^G1063 I am come^G2064^(G5627) to set^G1369 a man^G444 at variance^G1369^(G5658) against^G2596 his^G846 father^G3962, and^G2532 the daughter^G2364 against^G2596 her^G846 mother^G3384, and^G2532 the daughter in law^G3565 against^G2596 her^G846 mother in law^G3994.

³⁶ A man’s foes will be those of his own household.

KJVAnd^G2532 a man's^G444 foes^G2190 shall be they of his own^G846 household^G3615.

³⁷ He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me isn’t worthy of me.

KJVHe that loveth^G5368^(G5723) father^G3962 or^G2228 mother^G3384 more than^G5228 me^G1691 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 worthy^G514 of me^G3450: and^G2532 he that loveth^G5368^(G5723) son^G5207 or^G2228 daughter^G2364 more than^G5228 me^G1691 is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 worthy^G514 of me^G3450.

³⁸ He who doesn’t take his cross and follow after me isn’t worthy of me.

KJVAnd^G2532 he^G3739 that taketh^G2983^(G5719) not^G3756 his^G846 cross^G4716, and^G2532 followeth^G190^(G5719) after^G3694 me^G3450, is^G2076^(G5748) not^G3756 worthy^G514 of me^G3450.

³⁹ He who seeks his life will lose it; and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

KJVHe that findeth^G2147^(G5631) his^G846 life^G5590 shall lose^G622^(G5692) it^G846: and^G2532 he that loseth^G622^(G5660) his^G846 life^G5590 for my^G1700 sake^G1752 shall find^G2147^(G5692) it^G846.

⁴⁰ “He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

KJVHe that receiveth^G1209^(G5740) you^G5209 receiveth^G1209^(G5736) me^G1691, and^G2532 he that receiveth^G1209^(G5740) me^G1691 receiveth^G1209^(G5736) him that sent^G649^(G5660) me^G3165.

⁴¹ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

KJVHe that receiveth^G1209^(G5740) a prophet^G4396 in^G1519 the name^G3686 of a prophet^G4396 shall receive^G2983^(G5695) a prophet's^G4396 reward^G3408; and^G2532 he that receiveth^G2983^(G5695) a righteous man^G1342 in^G1519 the name^G3686 of a righteous man^G1342 shall receive^G1209^(G5740) a righteous man's^G1342 reward^G3408.

⁴² Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you, he will in no way lose his reward.”

KJVAnd^G2532 whosoever^G3739^G1437 shall give to drink^G4222^(G5661) unto one^G1520 of these^G5130 little ones^G3398 a cup^G4221 of cold^G5593 water only^G3440 in^G1519 the name^G3686 of a disciple^G3101, verily^G281 I say^G3004^(G5719) unto you^G5213, he shall in no wise^G3364 lose^G622^(G5661) his^G846 reward^G3408.
