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

5 These twelve men Jesus despatched with the following instructions, "Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter a Samaritan town, 6 rather make your way to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And preach as you go, tell men, 'The Reign of heaven is near.' 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out daemons; give without paying, as you have got without paying; 9 you are not to take gold or silver or coppers in your girdle, 10 nor a wallet for the road, nor two shirts, nor sandals, nor stick ??the workman deserves his rations.

11 Whatever town or village you go into, find out a deserving inhabitant and stay with him till you leave. 12 When you enter the house, salute it; 13 if the household is deserving, let your peace rest on it; but if the household is undeserving, let your peace return to you. 14 Whoever will not receive you or listen to your message, leave that house or town and shake off the very dust from your feet. 15 I tell you truly, on the day of judgment it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorra than for that town.
