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

¹ And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness. ² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus; ⁴ Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into the way of the nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not; ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. ⁸ Heal the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously. ⁹ Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts, ¹⁰ nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.

¹¹ But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth. ¹² And as ye enter into a house salute it. ¹³ And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.

⁷ And he calls the twelve to him; and he began to send them out two and two, and gave to them power over the unclean spirits; ⁸ and he commanded them that they should take nothing for the way, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their belt; ⁹ but be shod with sandals, and put not on two body-coats. ¹⁰ And he said to them, Wheresoever ye shall enter into a house, there remain till ye shall go thence. ¹¹ And whatsoever place shall not receive you nor hear you, departing thence, shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them.

¹² And they went forth and preached that they should repent; ¹³ and they cast out many demons, and anointed with oil many infirm, and healed them.

¹ And having called together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases, ² and sent them to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

³ And he said to them, Take nothing for the way, neither staff, nor scrip, nor bread, nor money; nor to have two body-coats apiece. ⁴ And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide and thence go forth. ⁵ And as many as may not receive you, going forth from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a witness against them. ⁶ And going forth they passed through the villages, announcing the glad tidings and healing everywhere.
