Chapter 10 of Matthew—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Jesus 1summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to 2heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
  2. 3Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, 4Simon, who is called Peter, and 5Andrew his brother; and [a]6James the son of Zebedee, and [b]John his brother;
  3. 7Philip and [c]Bartholomew; 8Thomas and 9Matthew the tax collector; [d]10James the son of Alphaeus, and 11Thaddaeus;
  4. Simon the [e]Zealot, and 12Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.
  5. 13These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: “Do not [f]go [g]in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the 14Samaritans;
  6. but rather go to 15the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
  7. And as you go, [h]preach, saying, ‘16The kingdom of heaven [i]is at hand.’
  8. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
  9. 17Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts,
  10. or a [j]bag for your journey, or even two [k]coats, or sandals, or a staff; for 18the worker is worthy of his [l]support.
  11. And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay [m]at his house until you leave that city.
  12. As you enter the [n]house, 19give it your [o]greeting.
  13. If the house is worthy, [p]give it your blessing of peace. But if it is not worthy, [q]take back your blessing of peace.
  14. Whoever does not receive you, nor heed your words, as you go out of that house or that city, 20shake the dust off your feet.
  15. Truly I say to you, 21it will be more tolerable for the land of 22Sodom and Gomorrah in 23the day of judgment than for that city.
  16. ¶ “24Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so [r]be 25shrewd as serpents and 26innocent as doves.
  17. But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the 27courts and scourge you 28in their synagogues;
  18. and you will even be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
  19. 29But when they hand you over, 30do not worry about how or what you are to say; for it will be given you in that hour what you are to say.
  20. For 31it is not you who speak, but it is the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.
  21. ¶ “32Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and 33children will rise up against parents and [s]cause them to be put to death.
  22. 34You will be hated by all because of My name, but 35it is the one who has endured to the end who will be saved.
  23. ¶ “But whenever they 36persecute you in [t]one city, flee to [u]the next; for truly I say to you, you will not finish going through the cities of Israel 37until the Son of Man comes.
  24. ¶ “38A [v]disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.
  25. It is enough for the disciple that he become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. 39If they have called the head of the house [w]40Beelzebul, how much more will they malign the members of his household!
  26. ¶ “Therefore do not 41fear them, 42for there is nothing concealed that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.
  27. 43What I tell you in the darkness, speak in the light; and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim 44upon the housetops.
  28. Do not fear those who kill the body but are unable to kill the soul; but rather 45fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [x]46hell.
  29. 47Are not two sparrows sold for a [y]cent? And yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.
  30. But 48the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
  31. So do not fear; 49you are more valuable than many sparrows.
  32. ¶ “Therefore 50everyone who [z]confesses Me before men, I will also confess [aa]him before My Father who is in heaven.
  33. But 51whoever [ab]denies Me before men, I will also deny him before My Father who is in heaven.
  34. ¶ “52Do not think that I came to [ac]bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
  35. For I came to 53SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;
  36. and 54A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD.
  37. ¶ “55He 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 56he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.
  39. 57He who has found his [ad]life will lose it, and he who has lost his [ae]life for My sake will find it.
  40. ¶ “58He who receives you receives Me, and 59he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.
  41. 60He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
  42. And 61whoever in the name of a disciple gives to one of these [af]little ones even a cup of cold water to drink, truly I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”

    The NWT adds words to the text that are not in the greek Manuscripts to fit it's own doctrinal position for example

    Compare the wording of the NWT and the NKJV at Colossians 1:15-17

    NKJV says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16 For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. 17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.

    NWT says

    15 He is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn OF all creation;16 because by means of him all OTHER things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the things visible and the things invisible,whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities. All OTHER things have been created through him and for him. 17 Also, he is before all OTHER things,and by means of him all OTHER things were made to exist,

    The word “other” is not in the Greek but they add it Why? So they can decieve their followers into thinking that Christ was created by the Father and that he then created other things, that is not what the Greek says.

      Truth is from God and those that follow him. As for lies? John8:44

      Kiamia, I noticed you used a modern version of kjv to make your point about the nwt.

      Why didn’t you use the original kjv of col1:15?

      Is it because it disproves your point? It proves the opposite of what you wrote?

      Here is kjv col1:15 ¶” Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn OF every creature:“

      Now I appeal to your Christian nature to correct your mistake as God is watching each of us, and let us bless the God of Jesus his father.

      Kjv 1Pe 1:3  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ….

    Joshua, Jehovah’s Witnesses have never denied the deity of the Messiah in his prehuman existence. While on Earth he was fully 100% human. I do not mean he was a mere human, he was not affected by Adam’s unfaithful behavior, he was sinless.

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
