Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

As you go, proclaim: 'The kingdom of heaven has come near.'

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

When you enter any town or village, find out who is worthy and stay there until you leave.

And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

As you enter the house, greet it.

And when ye come into an house, salute it.

If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that house or town and shake off the dust from your feet.

And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

When they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you should say, for what you are to say will be given to you at that time.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above the master.

The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.

Aren’t two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s care.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

But even the hairs of your head are all counted.

But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.

Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.

Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven.

Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

But whoever denies me before others, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

The one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and the one who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

And whoever gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is a disciple—truly I tell you, he will by no means lose his reward.

And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.
