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

⁵ Jesus made these twelve his missionaries, and gave them these instructions, don't go any where among the Gentiles, nor enter into any city of the Samaritans. ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ and wherever ye go, make this proclamation: the kingdom of heaven is nigh. ⁸ heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: what ye have received gratis, give gratis. ⁹ Provide neither gold nor silver, nor brass in your purses: ¹⁰ nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staves: for the workman deserves his maintenance.

¹¹ whatever city or town ye enter into, find out some house of repute, and there lodge till ye leave that place. ¹² As soon as ye enter into any house, salute the family. ¹³ if the family be worthy, your benediction shall have its effect; but if it be not worthy, it shall only redound to your own advantage. ¹⁴ if they should not receive you, nor mind your instructions: when ye depart out of that house, or city, shake off the pagan dust from your feet. ¹⁵ I declare unto you, the people of Sodom and Gomorrha shall find less severity in the day of judgment, than that city.
