Matthew 10:1-15 - The Twelve Commissioned And Sent Out

¹ And he called to him his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they might cast them out, and care every disease and every infirmity. ² Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: the first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphseus, and Lebbceus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus; ⁴ Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also delivered him up.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth after he had charged them, saying: Go not into the road that leads to the Gentiles, and enter not a city of the Samaritans. ⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And as you go, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. ⁸ Cure the sick, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. ⁹ Provide for yourselves neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, to put into your purses, ¹⁰ nor bag for your journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staffs: for the laborer is worthy of his support.

¹¹ Whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there make your home till you go away. ¹² When you go into a house, salute it: 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. ¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah, in the day of judgment, than for that city.

⁷ And he called to him the twelve, and began to send them out, two and two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits. ⁸ And he commanded them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, no bread, no money in their purses; ⁹ but to be shod with sandals, and not to put on two coats. ¹⁰ And he said to them: Wherever you enter a house, there make your home till you depart from that place. ¹¹ And whoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when you go out from that place, shake off the dust under your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say to you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹² And they went out and preached that men should repent; ¹³ and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many that were sick, and cured them.

¹ And he called his twelve disciples to him, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure dis eases: ² and he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³ And he said to them: Take nothing for your journey, neither staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; nor have two coats each. ⁴ And whatever house you enter, there remain, and thence depart. ⁵ And whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off even the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. ⁶ And they departed, and went through every village, preaching the gospel, and per forming cures everywhere.
