¹He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.

²Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;

³ܘܦܝܠܝܦܘܤ ܘܒܪ ܬܘܠܡܝ ܘܬܐܘܡܐ ܘܡܬܝ ܡܟܤܐ ܘܝܥܩܘܒ ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ ܘܠܒܝ ܕܐܬܟܢܝ ܬܕܝ ܀

³Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, whose surname was NU omits “Lebbaeus, whose surname was” Thaddaeus;

⁴Simon the Canaanite; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

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.

⁶ܙܠܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܠܘܬ ܥܪܒܐ ܕܐܒܕܘ ܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܝܤܪܝܠ ܀

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

⁷ܘܟܕ ܐܙܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܟܪܙܘ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܕܩܪܒܬ ܡܠܟܘܬܐ ܕܫܡܝܐ ܀

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

⁸ܟܪܝܗܐ ܐܤܘ ܘܓܪܒܐ ܕܟܘ ܘܕܝܘܐ ܐܦܩܘ ܡܓܢ ܢܤܒܬܘܢ ܡܓܢ ܗܒܘ ܀

⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers TR adds “, raise the dead” , and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

⁹ܠܐ ܬܩܢܘܢ ܕܗܒܐ ܘܠܐ ܤܐܡܐ ܘܠܐ ܢܚܫܐ ܒܟܝܤܝܟܘܢ ܀

⁹ Don’t take any gold, nor silver, nor brass in your money belts.

¹⁰ܘܠܐ ܬܪܡܠܐ ܠܐܘܪܚܐ ܘܠܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܟܘܬܝܢܝܢ ܘܠܐ ܡܤܢܐ ܘܠܐ ܫܒܛܐ ܫܘܐ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܦܥܠܐ ܤܝܒܪܬܗ ܀

¹⁰ Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

¹¹ܠܐܝܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܐܘ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܫܐܠܘ ܡܢܘ ܫܘܐ ܒܗ ܘܬܡܢ ܗܘܘ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

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

¹²ܘܡܐ ܕܥܐܠܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܒܝܬܐ ܫܐܠܘ ܫܠܡܗ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܀

¹² As you enter into the household, greet it.

¹³ܘܐܢ ܗܘ ܕܫܘܐ ܒܝܬܐ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܢܐܬܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܢ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܫܠܡܟܘܢ ܥܠܝܟܘܢ ܢܦܢܐ ܀

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

¹⁴ܡܢ ܕܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܘܠܐ ܫܡܥ ܡܠܝܟܘܢ ܟܕ ܢܦܩܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܢ ܒܝܬܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܗܝ ܦܨܘ ܚܠܐ ܡܢ ܪܓܠܝܟܘܢ ܀

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.

¹⁵ܘܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐܪܥܐ ܕܤܕܘܡ ܘܕܥܡܘܪܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܢܝܚ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܕܝܢܐ ܐܘ ܠܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܝ ܀

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.

¹⁶ܗܐ ܐܢܐ ܡܫܕܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܐܝܟ ܐܡܪܐ ܒܝܢܝ ܕܐܒܐ ܗܘܘ ܗܟܝܠ ܚܟܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܚܘܘܬܐ ܘܬܡܝܡܐ ܐܝܟ ܝܘܢܐ ܀

¹⁶ “Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

¹⁷ܐܙܕܗܪܘ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܡܫܠܡܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܠܒܝܬ ܕܝܢܐ ܘܒܟܢܘܫܬܗܘܢ ܢܢܓܕܘܢܟܘܢ ܀

¹⁷ But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

¹⁸ܘܩܕܡ ܗܓܡܘܢܐ ܘܡܠܟܐ ܡܩܪܒܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܠܤܗܕܘܬܐ ܕܝܠܗܘܢ ܘܕܥܡܡܐ ܀

¹⁸ Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

¹⁹ܐܡܬܝ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܫܠܡܘܢܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܬܐܨܦܘܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܐܘ ܡܢܐ ܬܡܠܠܘܢ ܡܬܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܝܪ ܒܗܝ ܫܥܬܐ ܡܐ ܕܬܡܠܠܘܢ ܀

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.

²⁰ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܐܠܐ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܡܡܠܠܐ ܒܟܘܢ ܀

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

²¹ܢܫܠܡ ܕܝܢ ܐܚܐ ܠܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܡܘܬܐ ܘܐܒܐ ܠܒܪܗ ܘܢܩܘܡܘܢ ܒܢܝܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܗܝܗܘܢ ܘܢܡܝܬܘܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

²¹ “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

²²ܘܬܗܘܘܢ ܤܢܝܐܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܠܢܫ ܡܛܠ ܫܡܝ ܐܝܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܤܝܒܪ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܚܪܬܐ ܗܘ ܢܚܐ ܀

²² You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.

²³ܡܐ ܕܪܕܦܝܢ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܒܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܗܕܐ ܥܪܘܩܘ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܐܚܪܬܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܓܝܪ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܬܫܠܡܘܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܕܝܢܬܐ ܕܒܝܬ ܐܝܤܪܝܠ ܥܕܡܐ ܕܢܐܬܐ ܒܪܗ ܕܐܢܫܐ ܀

²³ But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the next, for most certainly I tell you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel, until the Son of Man has come.

²⁴ܠܝܬ ܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܪܒܗ ܘܠܐ ܥܒܕܐ ܡܢ ܡܪܗ ܀

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

²⁵ܤܦܩ ܠܗ ܠܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܕܢܗܘܐ ܐܝܟ ܪܒܗ ܘܠܥܒܕܐ ܐܝܟ ܡܪܗ ܐܢ ܠܡܪܗ ܕܒܝܬܐ ܩܪܘ ܒܥܠܙܒܘܒ ܚܕ ܟܡܐ ܠܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܀

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!

²⁶ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܡܕܡ ܕܟܤܐ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܓܠܐ ܘܕܡܛܫܝ ܕܠܐ ܢܬܝܕܥ ܀

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.

²⁷ܡܕܡ ܕܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܒܚܫܘܟܐ ܐܘܡܪܘܗܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܢܗܝܪܐ ܘܡܕܡ ܕܒܐܕܢܝܟܘܢ ܫܡܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܐܟܪܙܘ ܥܠ ܐܓܪܐ ܀

²⁷ What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in the ear, proclaim on the housetops.

²⁸ܘܠܐ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܩܛܠܝܢ ܦܓܪܐ ܢܦܫܐ ܕܝܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܠܡܩܛܠ ܕܚܠܘ ܕܝܢ ܝܬܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܢ ܡܢ ܕܡܫܟܚ ܕܠܢܦܫܐ ܘܠܦܓܪܐ ܢܘܒܕ ܒܓܗܢܐ ܀

²⁸ Don’t be afraid of those who kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul. Rather, fear him who is able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna. or, Hell.

²⁹ܠܐ ܬܪܬܝܢ ܨܦܪܝܢ ܡܙܕܒܢܢ ܒܐܤܪ ܘܚܕܐ ܡܢܗܝܢ ܒܠܥܕ ܡܢ ܐܒܘܟܘܢ ܠܐ ܢܦܠܐ ܥܠ ܐܪܥܐ ܀

²⁹ “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin An assarion is a small coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius. An assarion is approximately the wages of one half hour of agricultural labor. ? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father’s will,

³⁰ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܡܢܐ ܕܪܫܟܘܢ ܟܠܗܝܢ ܡܢܝܢ ܐܢܝܢ ܀

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

³¹ܠܐ ܗܟܝܠ ܬܕܚܠܘܢ ܡܢ ܨܦܪܐ ܤܓܝܐܬܐ ܡܝܬܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

³¹ Therefore don’t be afraid. You are of more value than many sparrows.

³²ܟܠܢܫ ܗܟܝܠ ܕܢܘܕܐ ܒܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܘܕܐ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

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

³³ܡܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܢܟܦܘܪ ܒܝ ܩܕܡ ܒܢܝܢܫܐ ܐܟܦܘܪ ܒܗ ܐܦ ܐܢܐ ܩܕܡ ܐܒܝ ܕܒܫܡܝܐ ܀

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

³⁴ܠܐ ܬܤܒܪܘܢ ܕܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܪܡܐ ܫܝܢܐ ܒܐܪܥܐ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܕܐܪܡܐ ܫܝܢܐ ܐܠܐ ܚܪܒܐ ܀

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

³⁵ܐܬܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܦܠܘܓ ܓܒܪܐ ܥܠ ܐܒܘܗܝ ܘܒܪܬܐ ܥܠ ܐܡܗ ܘܟܠܬܐ ܥܠ ܚܡܬܗ ܀

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.

³⁶ܘܒܥܠܕܒܒܘܗܝ ܕܓܒܪܐ ܒܢܝ ܒܝܬܗ ܀

³⁶ A man’s foes will be those of his own household. Micah 7:6

³⁷ܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܐܒܐ ܐܘ ܐܡܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܠܝ ܘܡܢ ܕܪܚܡ ܒܪܐ ܐܘ ܒܪܬܐ ܝܬܝܪ ܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܠܝ ܀

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 isn’t worthy of me.

³⁸ܘܟܠ ܕܠܐ ܫܩܠ ܙܩܝܦܗ ܘܐܬܐ ܒܬܪܝ ܠܐ ܫܘܐ ܠܝ ܀

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

³⁹ܡܢ ܕܐܫܟܚ ܢܦܫܗ ܢܘܒܕܝܗ ܘܡܢ ܕܢܘܒܕ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܛܠܬܝ ܢܫܟܚܝܗ ܀

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

⁴⁰ܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܠܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܘܡܢ ܕܠܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܠܡܢ ܕܫܠܚܢܝ ܡܩܒܠ ܀

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

⁴¹ܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܢܒܝܐ ܒܫܡ ܢܒܝܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܢܤܒ ܘܡܢ ܕܡܩܒܠ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܒܫܡ ܙܕܝܩܐ ܐܓܪܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܢܤܒ ܀ 42 ܘܟܠ ܕܡܫܩܐ ܠܚܕ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܙܥܘܪܐ ܟܤܐ ܕܩܪܝܪܐ ܒܠܚܘܕ ܒܫܡܐ ܕܬܠܡܝܕܐ ܐܡܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܐܢܐ ܠܟܘܢ ܕܠܐ ܢܘܒܕ ܐܓܪܗ ܀

⁴¹ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

⁴²

⁴² Whoever gives one of these little ones just a cup of cold water to drink in the name of a disciple, most certainly I tell you he will in no way lose his reward.”
