Jesus Send di Twelve Go Out
Dem call di twelve by name and send dem go without money and without extra cloth, enter towns wey fit shut door for dem face. Jesus talk am straight about flogging, court and family wey go turn against each other. But no sparrow dey fall without Papa, and dem don count di hair for dia head.
10 1Jesus call im twelve disciples come, e give dem power ontop unclean spirits, make dem fit drive dem comot and cure every kind sickness and every kind disease. 2Di name of di twelve apostles na dis one: di first na Simon wey dem dey call Peter, and Andrew im brother; James di pikin of Zebedee, and John im brother; 3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew di tax collector; James di pikin of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus; 4Simon di Zealot and Judas Iscariot, di one wey come sell Jesus give dem.
5Jesus send dis twelve go, e give dem dis word say: “No go for Gentile places, no enter any Samaria town. 6Instead, make una go meet di sheep wey lost for di house of Israel. 7As una dey go, make una preach dis message: ‘Di kingdom of our Papa don near.’ a a v7 “Di kingdom of our Papa” dey take di place of di word wey pipo sabi pass, “di kingdom of heaven”, wey Matthew dey use for im whole Gospel. Di two of dem dey talk about di same thing — how our Papa dey rule dey break enter di world. 8Make una cure di sick pipo, raise dead pipo, clean di ones wey get leprosy, drive demons comot. As una collect am for free, make una give am for free. 9No carry any gold or silver or copper for una belt, 10no travel bag, no second shirt, no sandals, no waka-stick—because di worker suppose collect im food. 11Any town or village wey una enter, make una find out who worthy for dia, and make una stay for im house till una comot. 12As una dey enter di house, make una greet am. 13If di house worthy, make una peace rest ontop am; but if e no worthy, make una peace come back to una. 14If anybody no gree welcome una or hear una word, make una shake di dust comot from una leg as una dey comot from dat house or dat town. 15I dey tell una true-true: e go easy for Sodom and Gomorrah pass dat town for judgement day.
16Look, I dey send una out like sheep wey dey among wolf; so make una sharp like snake, and gentle like dove. 17Make una dey watch pipo well; dem go hand una over to councils and dem go flog una for dia synagogues. 18Because of my name, dem go carry una go stand before governors and kings, make e be witness give dem and give di Gentiles. 19But wen dem hand una over, no dey worry ontop wetin una go talk or how una go talk am—because di thing wey una go talk go come give una for dat time, 20because no be una go dey talk, na di Spirit of your Papa go dey talk through una.
21Brother go sell brother make dem kill am, papa go do im own pikin like dat; pikin dem go rise against dia papa and mama and make dem kill dem. 22Everybody go hate una because of my name, but whoever hold strong reach di end go save. 23Wen dem persecute una for one town, run go di next one. I dey tell una true-true: una no go finish di towns of Israel before di Pikin of Man go come.
24Student no dey pass im teacher, and servant no dey pass im master. 25E don do for di student make e be like im teacher, and for di servant make e be like im master. If dem call di oga of di house Beelzebul, how much more di pipo of im house!
26So make una no fear dem. Nothing dey hide wey no go show, and nothing dey cover wey pipo no go come sabi. 27Wetin I tell una for dark, talk am for daylight; wetin dem whisper for una ear, make una shout am for ontop roof. 28No fear di ones wey fit kill di body but dem no fit kill di soul; instead, fear di One wey fit destroy body and soul together for hell.
29No be dem dey sell two sparrow for one small money? But even one of dem no dey fall for ground without your Papa know. 30And even di hair for una head, dem don count all of dem. 31So make una no fear; una worth pass plenty sparrow.
32So den, whoever gree tell pipo say e know me, I go also gree talk about am before my Papa wey dey for heaven. 33But whoever deny me before pipo, I go deny am before my Papa wey dey for heaven.
34No think say I come bring peace for di world; I no come bring peace, na sword I come bring. 35Because I come make man stand against im papa, pikin-girl against her mama, and wife-pikin against her husband mama, 36man own enemies go be di pipo of im own house. 37Whoever love papa or mama pass me no fit for me; and whoever love im son or pikin-girl pass me no fit for me. 38Whoever no gree carry im cross follow me no fit for me. 39Whoever find im life go lose am, but whoever lose im life because of me go find am.
40Whoever welcome una welcome me, and whoever welcome me welcome di One wey send me. 41Whoever welcome prophet because e be prophet go collect prophet own reward, and whoever welcome correct-and-holy pesin because e be correct-and-holy pesin go collect di reward of correct-and-holy pesin. 42And whoever give just one cup of cold water give one of dis small ones because e be my disciple, I dey tell una true-true, e no go lose im reward at all.”
