Polyglot Bible: Matthew: Matthew 10

This is a parallel Bible presentation of Matthew 10:1–42 in three textual traditions: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV) with Strong's concordance numbers, and the Latin Vulgate. The passage presents Jesus's commissioning discourse to his twelve apostles, whom he sends out to preach the kingdom of heaven, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out demons — explicitly restricting their mission to Israel rather than Gentiles or Samaritans. Jesus provides detailed practical instructions (travel light, accept hospitality, shake the dust off your feet at rejecting towns) alongside warnings of persecution before councils, synagogues, governors, and kings. The passage makes several notably demanding claims: that Jesus came not to bring peace but a sword, that allegiance to him must supersede family loyalties, and that confessing or denying him before others will be reciprocated by him before God. The text closes with a theology of reception — welcoming the disciples is equivalent to welcoming Christ himself — and promises reward even for small acts of hospitality done in a disciple's name.
