Matthew 10:5-15 - Jesus Sends Out The Twelve Apostles
5 These men, the Twelve, Jesus sent forth, after giving them the following instructions. "Do not go among the Gentiles, or enter any Samaritan town, 6 "but rather be on your way to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 "As you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' 8 "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 9 "Take no gold or silver or coppers in your purses; 10 "not even a bag for the journey, or a change of clothes, or sandals, or even a stick; for the worker is worth his rations.
11 "Into whatever city or town you enter, inquire for some worthy person there, and stay with him until you leave. 12 "When you enter the house, salute it; 13 "and if the house is worthy let your blessing sit upon it; but if it be unworthy, let your blessing return to you. 14 "And whoever will not receive you or listen to your words, as you go out from that house or that city, shake off the very dust from your feet. 15 "I tell you solemnly it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the Day of Judgment than for that town.
