Matthew 10: 34 - 42
|
34 | "Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. |
35 | 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; |
36 | and a man's foes will be those of his own household. |
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 is not worthy of me; |
38 | and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. |
39 | He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it. |
40 | "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me. |
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. |
42 | 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."
1 | And when Jesus had finished instructing his twelve disciples, he went on from there to teach and preach in their cities. |
