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

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, when he had charged them, saying, Go not away to gentiles, and enter not any city of the Samaritans; ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And, as ye go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. ⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons; freely ye received, freely give. ⁹ Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, in your girdles; ¹⁰ nor bag for the journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor a staff. For the laborer is worthy of his living.

¹¹ And into whatever city or town ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye leave the place. ¹² And as ye enter the house, salute it. ¹³ And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye go out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Truly do 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.
