Matteus 10
Svenska Folkbibeln

Jesus sänder ut de tolv

10 Jesus kallade till sig sina tolv lärjungar och gav dem makt att driva ut orena andar och att bota alla slags sjukdomar och krämpor. 2 Detta är namnen på de tolv apostlarna: först Simon, som kallas Petrus, och hans bror Andreas, vidare Jakob, Sebedeus son, och hans bror Johannes, 3 Filippus och Bartolomeus, Thomas och Matteus, publikanen,[a] Jakob, Alfeus son, och Taddeus,[b] 4 Simon ivraren[c] och Judas Iskariot,[d] han som skulle förråda honom.

5 Dessa tolv sände Jesus ut, och han befallde dem: "Gå inte in på hedningarnas område eller in i någon samaritisk stad. 6 Gå i stället till de förlorade fåren av Israels hus. 7 Och där ni går fram skall ni predika: Himmelriket är nu här. 8 Bota sjuka, uppväck döda, gör spetälska rena och driv ut onda andar. Det ni har fått som gåva, ge det som gåva. 9 Skaffa er inte guld, silver eller koppar i era bälten, 10 inte lädersäck för resan, inte två livklädnader, inte sandaler eller stav. Ty arbetaren är värd sin mat. 11 När ni kommer in i en stad eller by, ta då reda på vem som är värdig, och stanna där tills ni lämnar den orten. 12 Och när ni kommer in i ett hus, så hälsa det. 13 Om huset är värdigt, skall den frid ni tillönskar komma över det. Men om det inte är värdigt, skall er frid vända tillbaka till er. 14 Och om man inte tar emot er eller lyssnar till era ord, så lämna det huset eller den staden och skaka av dammet från era fötter. 15 Amen säger jag er: För Sodoms och Gomorras land skall det på domens dag bli drägligare än för den staden.

Som får bland vargar

16 Se, jag sänder ut er som får mitt ibland vargar. Var därför listiga som ormar och oskyldiga som duvor. 17 Akta er för människorna. De skall utlämna er åt domstolar, och i sina synagogor skall de gissla[e] er. 18 Och ni kommer att föras inför landshövdingar och kungar för min skull, för att vittna inför dem och hedningarna. 19 Men när man utlämnar er, så bekymra er inte för hur ni skall tala eller vad ni skall säga. Det kommer att ges åt er i den stunden, 20 och då är det inte ni som talar, utan er Faders Ande kommer att tala genom er.

21 En bror skall utlämna sin bror till att dödas och en far sitt barn, och barn skall sätta sig upp mot sina föräldrar och döda dem. 22 Och ni skall bli hatade av alla för mitt namns skull. Men den som håller ut intill slutet skall bli frälst. 23 Och när man förföljer er i en stad, så fly till en annan. Amen säger jag er: Ni hinner inte igenom Israels städer, förrän Människosonen kommer.

24 En lärjunge är inte förmer än sin lärare och en tjänare inte förmer än sin herre. 25 Det är nog för lärjungen att det går med honom som med hans lärare, och för tjänaren att det går med honom som med hans herre. Har man kallat husets Herre för Beelsebul,[f] hur mycket mer skall man å inte kalla hans tjänare så.

26 Var alltså inte rädda för dem. Ty ingenting är dolt som inte skall uppenbaras, och ingenting är gömt som inte skall komma i dagen. 27 Vad jag säger till er i mörkret skall ni säga i ljuset, och vad ni hör viskas i ert öra skall ni ropa ut på taken. 28 Var inte rädda för dem som dödar kroppen men inte kan döda själen. Frukta i stället honom som kan fördärva både själ och kropp i Gehenna. 29 Säljs inte två sparvar för ett kopparmynt?[g] Och inte en enda faller till marken utan er Faders vilja.[h] 30 På er är till och med alla hårstrån räknade. 31 Var alltså inte rädda. Ni är mer värda än många sparvar. 32 Var och en som bekänner mig inför människorna, honom skall också jag bekänna inför min Fader i himlen. 33 Men var och en som förnekar mig inför människorna, honom skall också jag förneka inför min Fader i himlen.

Inte fred utan svärd

34 Tro inte att jag har kommit för att skapa fred på jorden. Jag har inte kommit med fred utan med svärd. 35 Jag har kommit för att skilja en son från sin far, en dotter från sin mor och en sonhustru från sin svärmor, 36 och en man får sina egna till fiender. 37 Den som älskar sin far eller mor mer än mig är mig inte värdig, och den som älskar sin son eller dotter mer än mig är mig inte värdig. 38 Den som inte tar sitt kors och följer mig är mig inte värdig. 39 Den som finner sitt liv skall mista det, och den som mister sitt liv för min skull skall finna det.

40 Den som tar emot er tar emot mig, och den som tar emot mig tar emot honom som har sänt mig. 41 Den som tar emot en profet därför att det är en profet, han skall få en profets lön. Och den som tar emot en rättfärdig man därför att det är en rättfärdig, han skall få en rättfärdig mans lön. 42 Och den som ger en av dessa små en bägare friskt vatten att dricka, därför att det är en lärjunge - amen säger jag er: Han skall inte gå miste om sin lön."

  1. Matteus 10:3 publikanen Som publikan, tulltjänsteman, stod han i den romerska statens tjänst. Härigenom kom publikanerna att bli föremål för folkets hat. "Publikaner och syndare" var ett stående uttryck som fariseerna använde (Mark 2:15f).

  3. Matteus 10:4 ivraren Det ord som används här och i Mark 3:18, "kananaios", kan betyda "från Kana". Sannolikare är dock att det är ett arameiskt ord och betyder "ivrare", zelot. Se också Luk 6:15, där motsvarande grekiska ord används. Denna benämning tyder på att han tillhörde sin tids religiösa aktivister, som ivrade för uppror mot romarna.

  5. Matteus 10:17 gissla Det hos judarna vanliga kroppsstraffet var gissling. Straffredskapet bestod av kalvskinnsremmar sammanbundna till en piska. Högst fyrtio slag fick utdelas (5 Mos 25:3). Den romerska gisslingen var långt råare än den judiska. Romarna bestraffade med gissel, vars ändar ofta var försedda med blyklumpar. En dödsdömd brukade torteras med gissel.
  6. Matteus 10:25 Beelsebul var i judendomen ett namn på de onda andarnas furste, djävulen (9:34). Ordet ställs vanligtvis samman med det hebreiska Baal-Zebub, som var ett namn på filisteernas gud i staden Ekron och betyder "flugornas herre" (2 Kung 1:2-16).

Matthew 10
New King James Version

The Twelve Apostles(A)

10 And (B)when He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. 2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, (C)who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and [a]Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 (D)Simon the [b]Cananite, and Judas (E)Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

Sending Out the Twelve(F)

5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: (G)“Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of (H)the Samaritans. 6 (I)But go rather to the (J)lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 (K)And as you go, preach, saying, (L)‘The kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, [d]cleanse the lepers, [e]raise the dead, cast out demons. (M)Freely you have received, freely give. 9 (N)Provide neither gold nor silver nor (O)copper in your money belts, 10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; (P)for a worker is worthy of his food.

11 (Q)“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. 12 And when you go into a household, greet it. 13 (R)If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. (S)But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14 (T)And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, (U)shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Assuredly, I say to you, (V)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

Persecutions Are Coming(W)

16 (X)“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. (Y)Therefore be wise as serpents and (Z)harmless[f] as doves. 17 But beware of men, for (AA)they will deliver you up to councils and (AB)scourge you in their synagogues. 18 (AC)You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. 19 (AD)But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For (AE)it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; 20 (AF)for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

21 (AG)“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. 22 And (AH)you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. (AI)But he who endures to the end will be saved. 23 (AJ)When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have (AK)gone through the cities of Israel (AL)before the Son of Man comes.

24 (AM)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. 25 It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If (AN)they have called the master of the house [g]Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! 26 Therefore do not fear them. (AO)For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.

Jesus Teaches the Fear of God(AP)

27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, (AQ)speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. 28 (AR)And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather (AS)fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in [h]hell. 29 Are not two (AT)sparrows sold for a [i]copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. 30 (AU)But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Confess Christ Before Men(AV)

32 (AW)“Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, (AX)him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven. 33 (AY)But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in heaven.

Christ Brings Division(AZ)

34 (BA)“Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. 35 For I have come to (BB)‘set[j] a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’; 36 and (BC)‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ 37 (BD)He 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 (BE)And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. 39 (BF)He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it.

A Cup of Cold Water(BG)

40 (BH)“He who receives you receives Me, and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me. 41 (BI)He 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 (BJ)And whoever gives one of these little ones only a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple, assuredly, I say to you, he shall by no means lose his reward.”

New International Version

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)(C)(D)(E)

10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits(F) and to heal every disease and sickness.(G)

2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.(H)

5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.(I) 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.(J) 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven(K) has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9 “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts(L)— 10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.(M) 11 Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. 12 As you enter the home, give it your greeting.(N) 13 If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. 14 If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.(O) 15 Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah(P) on the day of judgment(Q) than for that town.(R)

16 “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.(S) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.(T) 17 Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils(U) and be flogged in the synagogues.(V) 18 On my account you will be brought before governors and kings(W) as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. 19 But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it.(X) At that time you will be given what to say, 20 for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father(Y) speaking through you.

21 “Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents(Z) and have them put to death.(AA) 22 You will be hated by everyone because of me,(AB) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.(AC) 23 When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.(AD)

24 “The student is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his master.(AE) 25 It is enough for students to be like their teachers, and servants like their masters. If the head of the house has been called Beelzebul,(AF) how much more the members of his household!

26 “So do not be afraid of them, for there is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.(AG) 27 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. 28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One(AH) who can destroy both soul and body in hell. 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.[b] 30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.(AI) 31 So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.(AJ)

32 “Whoever acknowledges me before others,(AK) I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. 33 But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.(AL)

34 “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
    a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law(AM)—
36     a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’[c](AN)

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.(AO) 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.(AP) 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.(AQ)

40 “Anyone who welcomes you welcomes me,(AR) and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.(AS) 41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward. 42 And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.”(AT)

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

5 (G)These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of (H)the Samaritans, 6 (I)but go rather to (J)the lost sheep of (K)the house of Israel. 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, (L)‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’[c] 8 (M)Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,[d] cast out demons. (N)You received without paying; give without pay. 9 (O)Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics[e] or sandals or a staff, for (P)the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, (Q)greet it. 13 And if the house is (R)worthy, let (S)your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let (T)your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, (U)shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15 Truly, I say to you, (V)it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for (W)the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Persecution Will Come

16 (X)“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be (Y)wise as serpents and (Z)innocent as doves. 17 Beware of men, for (AA)they will deliver you over to courts and flog you (AB)in their synagogues, 18 (AC)and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, (AD)to bear witness before them and the Gentiles. 19 (AE)When (AF)they deliver you over, (AG)do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say, for (AH)what you are to say will be given to you in that hour. 20 (AI)For it is not you who speak, but (AJ)the Spirit of your Father speaking through you. 21 (AK)Brother will deliver brother over to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death, 22 (AL)and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. (AM)But the one who endures to the end will be saved. 23 When they (AN)persecute you in one town, (AO)flee to the next, for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel (AP)before the Son of Man comes.

24 (AQ)“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant[f] above his master. 25 It is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. (AR)If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign[g] those of his household.

Have No Fear

26 “So have no fear of them, (AS)for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known. 27 What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on (AT)the housetops. 28 And (AU)do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him (AV)who can destroy both soul and body in hell.[h] 29 Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?[i] And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. 30 But (AW)even the hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 Fear not, therefore; (AX)you are of more value than many sparrows. 32 (AY)So everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven, 33 but (AZ)whoever denies me before men, (BA)I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

Not Peace, but a Sword

34 (BB)“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. (BC)I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 (BD)For I have come (BE)to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 (BF)And a person's enemies will be those of his own household. 37 (BG)Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And (BH)whoever does not take his cross and (BI)follow me is not worthy of me. 39 (BJ)Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Rewards

40 (BK)“Whoever receives you receives me, and (BL)whoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 (BM)The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. 42 And (BN)whoever gives one of (BO)these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
