Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying; give without pay. | Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received! |
And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. | Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. |

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. | What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. |
Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. | Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword. |
And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. | If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. |
Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. | If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it. |
