11`And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire ye who in it is worthy, and there abide, till ye may go forth.

12And as ye enter into a house salute it.

12And coming to the house salute it,

13And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

13and if indeed the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; and if it be not worthy, let your peace turn back to you.

14And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

14`And whoever may not receive you nor hear your words, coming forth from that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet,

24`A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a servant above his lord;

30and of you--even the hairs of the head are all numbered;

31Fear not therefore; ye are better than many sparrows.

31be not therefore afraid, than many sparrows ye are better.

32Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, I also will confess him before my Father who is in [the] heavens.

32`Every one, therefore, who shall confess in me before men, I also will confess in him before my Father who is in the heavens;

34Do not think that I have come to send peace upon the earth: I have not come to send peace, but a sword.

35For I have come to set a man at variance with his father, and the daughter with her mother, and the daughter-in-law with her mother-in-law;

35for I came to set a man at variance against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,

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

40`He who is receiving you doth receive me, and he who is receiving me doth receive Him who sent me,

41He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet, shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man, shall receive a righteous man's reward.
