马太福音10:1-15
耶稣拣选十二使徒
1耶稣叫了十二个门徒来,给他们权柄,能驱赶污灵和医治各样的疾病。
2这十二使徒的名字如下:头一个叫西门(又称彼得),还有他弟弟安得烈,西庇太的儿子雅各和雅各的弟弟约翰,
3腓力和巴多罗买,多马和税吏马太,亚勒腓的儿子雅各,和达太,
4激进党的西门,还有出卖耶稣的加略人犹大。
耶稣差遣十二使徒
5耶稣差遣这十二个人出去,吩咐他们说:”外邦人的路,你们不要走;撒玛利亚人的城,你们不要进;
6宁可*往以色列家迷失的羊那里去。
7要边走边传,说’天国近了’.
8要医治病人,使死人复活,使麻疯病人洁净,把鬼赶出去。*你们白白地得来,也要白白地给人。
9腰袋里不要带金银铜钱;
10途中不要带行囊,不要带两件内衣,也不要带鞋子和手杖,因为工人得饮食是应当的。
11你们无论进哪一城,哪一村,要打听那里谁是合适的人,就住在他家,直住到离开的时候。
12进他家时,要向那家请安。
13那家若配得平安,你们所求的平安就临到那家;若不配得,你们所求的平安仍归你们。
14凡不接待你们,不听你们话的人,你们离开那家,或是那城的时候,要跺掉你们脚上的尘土。
15我实在告诉你们,在审判的日子,所多玛和蛾摩拉地方所受的,比那城还容易受呢!”
The Twelve Harvest Hands
1-4 The prayer was no sooner prayed than it was answered. Jesus called twelve of his followers and sent them into the ripe fields. He gave them power to kick out the evil spirits and to tenderly care for the bruised and hurt lives. This is the list of the twelve he sent: Simon (they called him Peter,or”Rock”),Andrew, his brother, James, Zebedee’s son, John, his brother,Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew,the tax man, James, son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon, the Canaanite, Judas Iscariot (who later turned on him).
5-8 Jesus sent his twelve harvest hands outwith this charge:
“Don’t begin by traveling to some far-off place to convert unbelievers. And don’t try to be dramatic by tackling some public enemy. Go to the lost, confused people right here in the neighborhood. Tell them that the kingdom is here. Bring health to the sick. Raise the dead. Touch the untouch- ables. Kick out the demons. You have been treated generously, so live generously.
9-10 “Don’t think you have to put on a fund-raising campaign before you start. You don’t need a lot of equipment. You are the equipment, and all you need to keep that going is three meals a day. Travel light
11 “When you enter a town or village, don’t insist on staying in a luxury inn. Get a modest place with some modest people, and be content there until you leave.
12-15 “When you knock on a door, be courteous in your greeting. If they welcome you, be gentle in your conversation. If they don’t welcome you, quietly withdraw. Don’t make a scene. Shrug your shoulders and be on your way. You can be sure that on Judgment Day they’ll be mighty sorry-but it’s no concern of yours now.
