Weymouth New Testament in Modern Speech, Matthew
Weymouth, Richard Francis
Bible. Matthew
010:019 But when they have delivered you up, have no anxiety as to how
you shall speak or what you shall say; for at that very time
it shall be given you what to say;
010:020 for it is not you who will speak: it will be the Spirit
of your Father speaking through you.
010:021 Brother will betray brother to death, and father, child;
and children will rise against their own parents and will put
them to death.
010:022 And you will be objects of universal hatred because you
are called by my name; but he who holds out to the End--
he will be saved.
010:023 Whenever they persecute you in one town, escape to the next;
for I solemnly tell you that you will not have gone the round
of all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
010:024 "The learner is never superior to his teacher, and the servant
is never superior to his master.
010:025 Enough for the learner to be on a level with his teacher,
and for the servant to be on a level with his master.
If they have called the master of the house Baal-zebul,
how much more will they slander his servants?
010:026 Fear them not, however; there is nothing veiled which will
not be uncovered, nor secret which will not become known.
010:027 What I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what is
whispered into your ear, proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.
010:028 "And do not fear those who kill the body, but cannot kill the soul;
but rather fear him who is able to destroy both soul and
body in Gehenna.
010:029 Do not two sparrows sell for a halfpenny? Yet not one of them
will fall to the ground without your Father's leave.
010:030 But as for you, the very hairs on your heads are all numbered.
010:031 Away then with fear; you are more precious than a
multitude of sparrows.
010:032 "Every man who acknowledges me before men I also will acknowledge
before my Father who is in Heaven.
010:033 But whoever disowns me before men I also will disown before
my Father who is in Heaven.
010:034 "Do not suppose that I came to bring peace to the earth:
I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
010:035 For I came to set a man against his father, a daughter against
her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
010:036 and a man's own family will be his foes.
010:037 Any one who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy
of me, and any one who loves son or daughter more than me
is not worthy of me;
010:038 and any one who does not take up his cross and follow where I
lead is not worthy of me.
010:039 To save your life is to lose it, and to lose your life for my
sake is to save it.
010:040 "Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me
receives Him who sent me.
