Matthew 10:5-15 - Jesus Sends Out The Twelve Apostles

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth after he had charged them, saying: Go not into the road that leads to the Gentiles, and enter not a city of the Samaritans. ⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And as you go, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. ⁸ Cure the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. ⁹ Provide for yourselves neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, to put into your purses, ¹⁰ nor bag for your journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staffs: for the laborer is worthy of his support.

¹¹ Whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there make your home till you go away. ¹² When you go into a house, salute it: ¹³ and if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you. ¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city.
