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

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.
