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

⁵ These twelve did Jesus send, and commanded them, saying, "Go not into the ways that lead to the Gentiles, and in to the cities of the Samaritans enter ye not: ⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ Go and preach, saying that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out the devils: Freely ye have received, freely give again. ⁹ Possess not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles, ¹⁰ nor yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat.

¹¹ Into whatsoever city, or town ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence. ¹² And when ye come into a house, salute the same. ¹³ And if the house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it: but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you again. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor will hear your preaching, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for the land of Sodom, and Gomorra, in the day of judgment, than for that city.
