Matthew 10:1-15 - The Twelve Commissioned And Sent Out

¹ And having called in his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every sickness and every disease. ² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, ³ Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus who was surnamed Thaddaeus, ⁴ Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, having ordered them, saying, Go not into a way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans, ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And while going, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has come near. ⁸ Heal those who are feeble, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely ye received, freely give. ⁹ Acquire no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts, ¹⁰ no bag for the road, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staffs, for the workman is worthy of his provision.

¹¹ And into whatever city or village ye may enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide until ye go forth. ¹² And while entering into the house, salute it. ¹³ And if indeed the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, while departing that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

⁷ And he summons the twelve, and began to send them forth in pairs. And he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. ⁸ And he commanded them that they should take up nothing for the way, except only a staff--no scrip, no bread, no copper in the belt-- ⁹ but shod with sandals, and, Do not wear two coats. ¹⁰ And he said to them, Wherever ye enter into a house, lodge there until ye depart from there. ¹¹ And as many as might not receive you nor hear you, as ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony to them. Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment than

¹² And having departed, they preached that men should repent. ¹³ And they cast out many demons, and anointed many feeble men with olive oil, and healed them.

¹ And having summoned the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases. ² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal those who were incapacitated.

³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staffs, nor bag, nor bread, nor silver, nor have two coats each. ⁴ And into whatever house ye may enter, remain there, and from there depart. ⁵ And as many as will not receive you, when departing from that city, also shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them. ⁶ And having departed, they passed through the villages, preaching the good-news, and healing everywhere.
