10:16 “I30 am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves,31 so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves. 10:17 Beware32 of people, because they will hand you over to councils33 and flog34 you in their synagogues.35 10:18 And you will be brought before governors and kings36 because of me, as a witness to them and the Gentiles. 10:19 Whenever37 they hand you over for trial, do not worry about how to speak or what to say,38 for what you should say will be given to you at that time.39 10:20 For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
10:21 “Brother40 will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against41 parents and have them put to death. 10:22 And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 10:23 Whenever42 they persecute you in one place,43 flee to another. I tell you the truth,44 you will not finish going through all the towns45 of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
10:24 “A disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a slave46 greater than his master. 10:25 It is enough for the disciple to become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house ‘Beelzebul,’ how much more will they defame the members of his household!
10:26 “Do47 not be afraid of them, for nothing is hidden48 that will not be revealed,49 and nothing is secret that will not be made known. 10:27 What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what is whispered in your ear,50 proclaim from the housetops.51 10:28 Do52 not be afraid of those who kill the body53 but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.54 10:29 Aren’t two sparrows sold for a penny?55 Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.56 10:30 Even all the hairs on your head are numbered. 10:31 So do not be afraid;57 you are more valuable than many sparrows.
10:32 “Whoever, then, acknowledges58 me before people, I will acknowledge59 before my Father in heaven. 10:33 But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.
10:34 “Do not think that I have come to bring60 peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword. 10:35 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, 10:36 and a man’s enemies will be the members of his household.61
10:37 “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 10:38 And whoever does not take up his cross62 and follow me is not worthy of me. 10:39 Whoever finds his life63 will lose it,64 and whoever loses his life because of me65 will find it.
10:40 “Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.66 10:41 Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. Whoever67 receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 10:42 And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, I tell you the truth,68 he will never lose his reward.”
11:1 When1 Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their towns.
11:2 Now when John2 heard in prison about the deeds Christ3 had done, he sent his disciples to ask a question:4 11:3 “Are you the one who is to come,5 or should we look for another?” 11:4 Jesus answered them,6 “Go tell John what you hear and see:7 11:5 The blind see, the8 lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have good news proclaimed to them. 11:6 Blessed is anyone9 who takes no offense at me.”
11:7 While they were going away, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: “What did you go out into the wilderness10 to see? A reed shaken by the wind?11 11:8 What12 did you go out to see? A man dressed in fancy clothes?13 Look, those who wear fancy clothes are in the homes of kings!14 11:9 What did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more15 than a prophet. 11:10 This is the one about whom it is written:
‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,16
who will prepare your way before you.’17
11:11 “I tell you the truth,18 among those born of women, no one has arisen greater than John the Baptist. Yet the one who is least19 in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he is. 11:12 From20 the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and forceful people lay hold of it.21 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John appeared.22 11:14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah, who is to come. 11:15 The one who has ears had better listen!23
11:16 “To24 what should I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another,25
11:17 ‘We played the flute for you, yet you did not dance;26
we wailed in mourning,27 yet you did not weep.’
11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’28 11:19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him,29 a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors30 and sinners!’31 But wisdom is vindicated32 by her deeds.”33
