| 10:2 | And he sayed vnto them, the haruest is great, but the laborers are fewe. Praye therfore the Lorde of the harueste, to sende forth laborers into hys haruest. |
| 10:3 | Go youre wayes: beholde, I sende you forth as lambes among wolues. |

| 10:7 | And in the same house tary styll, eatynge and drinckynge suche as they haue. For the labourer is worthy of thys rewarde. Go not from house to house, |
| 10:8 | & into whatsoeuer citie ye enter, yf they receyue you, eate suche thynges as are set before you, |
| 10:9 | and heale the sycke that are there, and say vnto them: the kyngedome of God is come nye vnto you. |

| 10:11 | euen the very duste, whiche cleaueth on vs of your citie, we wype of agaynste you. Notwithstandynge marke this that the kyngdome of God was come nye vpon you. |
| 10:12 | Yea, and I saye to you, that it shalbe easier in that daye for Zodome then for that citie. |
| 10:13 | Wo be to the Chorazim, wo be to the Bethsaida. For yf the myracles had bene done in Tyre and Sidon, whiche haue bene done in you, they had a great whyle a gone repented, sittynge in hayre and ashes. |
| 10:14 | Neuerthelesse, it shalbe easyer for Tyre and Sidon at the iudgement, then for you. |
| 10:15 | And thou Capernaum, which arte exalted to heauen, shalt be thruste doune to hell. |
| 10:16 | He that heareth you, heareth me, and he that dispyseth you, despyseth me: & he that despyseth me, despiseth hym that sente me. |

| 10:22 | All thynges are geuen me of my father. And no man knoweth who the sonne is, but the father: neyther who the father is, saue the sonne, and he to whom the sonne wyll shewe hym. |
| 10:23 | And he turned to hys discyples, and sayed secretely: Happy are the eyes, which se that ye se. |

| 10:27 | And he aunswered and sayde: Loue thy Lorde God with all thy hert, and with al thy soule, and with all thy mynde, and thy neyghboure as thy selfe. |
| 10:28 | And he sayed to hym: Thou haste aunswered ryght. Thys do and thou shalte lyue. |

| 10:39 | And this woman had a syster called Marye whiche sate at Iesus fete, and hearde his preachynge. |
| 10:40 | And Martha was combred aboute muche seruynge, and stode and sayed: Mayster doest thou not care, that my syster hath lefte me to mynister alone? Byd her therfore, that she helpe me. |
| 10:41 | And Iesu aunswered & said vnto her: Martha, Martha, thou carest, and arte troubled aboute manye thinges, |
| 10:42 | verelye one is nedefull. Marye hath chosen her that good part whiche shall not be taken away from her. |
Matthew's Bible 1537
The Matthew Bible, also known as Matthew's Version, was first published in 1537 by John Rogers, under the pseudonym "Thomas Matthew". It combined the New Testament of William Tyndale, and as much of the Old Testament as he had been able to translate before being captured and put to death, with the translations of Myles Coverdale as to the balance of the Old Testament and the Apocrypha, except the Apocryphal Prayer of Manasses. It is thus a vital link in the main sequence of English Bible translations.
