¹And having called to [him] his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.

¹A privolajúc si svojich dvanástich učeníkov dal im právo a moc nad nečistými duchmi, aby ich vyháňali a uzdravovali každý neduh a každú chorobu.

²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother;

²A mená tých dvanástich apoštolov sú tieto: prvý Šimon, zvaný Peter, a Andrej, jeho brat, a Jakob Zebedeov a Ján, jeho brat.

³Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus;

³Filip, Bartolomej, Tomáš, colný Matúš, Jakob Alfeov, Lebeus, ktorému bolo dané prímeno Taddeus,

⁴Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.

⁴Šimon Kananitský a Judáš Iškariotský, ktorý ho i zradil.

⁵These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into [the] way of [the] nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;

⁵Týchto dvanástich poslal Ježiš a prikázal im: Na cestu pohanov neodídite a do mesta Samaritánov nevojdite;

⁶but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁶ale radšej iďte k ztrateným ovciam domu Izraelovho.

⁷And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.

⁷Iďte a kážte hovoriac, že sa priblížilo nebeské kráľovstvo.

⁸Heal [the] infirm, [raise the dead], cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.

⁸Nemocných uzdravujte, malomocných očisťujte, mŕtvych krieste, démonov vyháňajte; darmo ste dostali, darmo dajte.

⁹Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,

⁹Neberte so sebou zlata ani striebra ani obecného kovu do svojich opaskov

¹⁰nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

¹⁰ani kapsy na cestu ani po dvoje sukieň ani sandálov ani palice, lebo robotník je hoden svojho pokrmu.

¹¹But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.

¹¹A do ktoréhokoľvek mesta alebo mestečka vojdete, dopýtajte sa, kto by v ňom bol toho hodný; a tam zostaňte, dokiaľ nevyjdete.

¹²And as ye enter into a house salute it.

¹²A vchádzajúc do domu pozdravte ho.

¹³And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

¹³A keď bude dom hodný, nech prijde naň váš pokoj; a keď nebude hodný, nech sa váš pokoj navráti k vám.

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

¹⁴A ktokoľvek by vás neprijal ani nepočul vašich slov, idúc z toho domu alebo z toho mesta vytraste prach svojich nôh.

¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.

¹⁵Ameň vám hovorím, že znesiteľnejšie bude zemi Sodomänov a Gomoranov v deň súdu než tomu mestu.

¹⁶Behold, *I* send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.

¹⁶Hľa, ja vás posielam ako ovce medzi vlkov. Tedy buďte opatrní jako hadi a prostí jako holubi.

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

¹⁷Vystríhajte sa ľudí, lebo vás budú vydávať staväjúc vás pred vysoké cirkevné rady a vo svojich synagógach vás budú bičovať,

¹⁸and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁸áno i pred vladárov i pred kráľov budete vodení pre mňa, na svedoctvo im aj pohanom.

¹⁹But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.

¹⁹A keď vás vydajú, nestarajte sa o to, jako alebo čo by ste mali hovoriť. Lebo vám bude dané v tú hodinu, čo budete mať hovoriť.

²⁰For *ye* are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.

²⁰Lebo nie ste to vy, ktorí hovoríte, ale vašeho Otca Duch, ktorý hovorí vo vás.

²¹But brother shall deliver up brother to death, and father child; and children shall rise up against parents and shall put them to death;

²¹Lebo brat brata vydá na smrť a otec dieťa, a povstanú deti na rodičov a usmrtia ich.

²²and ye shall be hated of all on account of my name. But he that has endured to [the] end, *he* shall be saved.

²²A budete nenávidení od všetkých pre moje meno, ale ten, kto zotrvá do konca, bude spasený.

²³But when they persecute you in this city, flee to the other; for verily I say to you, Ye shall not have completed the cities of Israel until the Son of man be come.

²³A keď vás budú prenasledovať v tomto meste, utečte do iného; lebo ameň vám hovorím, že nedokončíte miest Izraelových, dokiaľ neprijde Syn človeka.

²⁴The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the bondman above his lord.

²⁴Učeník nie je nad svojho učiteľa ani sluha nad svojho pána;

²⁵[It is] sufficient for the disciple that he should become as his teacher, and the bondman as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more those of his household?

²⁵dosť je učeníkovi, aby bol ako jeho učiteľ, a sluha, aby bol ako jeho pán. Ak domáceho pána nazvali Belzebúbom, čím väčšmi jeho domácich!

²⁶Fear them not therefore; for there is nothing covered which shall not be revealed, and secret which shall not be known.

²⁶Teda nebojte sa ich! Lebo nič nie je skryté, čo by nemalo byť odkryté, ani tajné, čo by sa nemalo zvedieť.

²⁷What I say to you in darkness speak in the light, and what ye hear in the ear preach upon the houses.

²⁷Čo vám hovorím vo tme, povedzte na svetle, a to, čo počujete v ucho, hlásajte na domoch.

²⁸And be not afraid of those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul; but fear rather him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

²⁸A nebojte sa tých, ktorí vraždia telo a ktorí nemôžu zavraždiť dušu; ale sa radšej bojte toho, ktorý môže i dušu i telo zatratiť v pekle.

²⁹Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall to the ground without your Father;

²⁹Či sa nepredávajú dva vrabce za groš? Ale ani jeden z nich nepadne na zem bez vášho Otca.

³⁰but of you even the hairs of the head are all numbered.

³⁰Ale vám sú ešte aj len všetky vlasy na hlave spočítané!

³¹Fear not therefore; *ye* are better than many sparrows.

³¹Tedy nebojte sa, vy ste drahší nad mnoho vrabcov.

³²Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, *I* also will confess him before my Father who is in [the] heavens.

³²Každého tedy, kto mňa vyzná pred ľuďmi, vyznám i ja pred svojím Otcom, ktorý je v nebesiach.

³³But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will *I* also deny before my Father who is in [the] heavens.

³³A kto by mňa zaprel pred ľuďmi, toho i ja zapriem pred svojím Otcom, ktorý je v nebesiach.

³⁴Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword.

³⁴Nedomnievajte sa, že som prišiel dať pokoj na zem; neprišiel som dať pokoj, ale meč.

³⁵For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law;

³⁵Lebo som prišiel rozdeliť človeka proti jeho otcovi a dcéru proti jej materi a nevestu proti jej svokre,

³⁶and they of his household [shall be] a man's enemies.

³⁶a nepriateľmi človeka budú jeho domáci.

³⁷He who loves father or mother above me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.

³⁷Ten, kto má radšej otca alebo mater ako mňa, nie je ma hodný; a kto má radšej syna, alebo dcéru ako mňa, nie je ma hodný;

³⁸And he who does not take up his cross and follow after me is not worthy of me.

³⁸a kto neberie svojho kríža a nejde za mnou, nie je ma hodný.

³⁹He that finds his life shall lose it, and he who has lost his life for my sake shall find it.

³⁹Kto najde svoju dušu, ztratí ju, a kto pre mňa ztratí svoju dušu, najde ju.

⁴⁰He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.

⁴⁰Kto vás prijíma, mňa prijíma, a kto mňa prijíma, prijíma toho, ktorý ma poslal.

⁴¹He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.

⁴¹Kto prijíma proroka v mene proroka, dostane odplatu proroka, a kto prijíma spravedlivého v mene spravedlivého, dostane odplatu spravedlivého.

⁴²And whosoever shall give to drink to 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.

⁴²A ktokoľvek by napojil jedného z týchto malých čo len pohárom čerstvej vody, v mene učeníka, ameň vám hovorím, že neztratí svojej odplaty.
