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

⁶ale radšej iďte k ztrateným ovciam domu Izraelovho.

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

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

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

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

¹²A vchádzajúc do domu pozdravte ho.

¹² As you enter into the household, greet it.

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

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

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

¹⁴ Whoever doesn’t receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

³⁶a nepriateľmi človeka budú jeho domáci.

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

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

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

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

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

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