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

¹ AND having called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease, and every malady. ² Now these are the names of the twelve apostles; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname is Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵ These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter not: ⁶ but go rather to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel. ⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is approaching. ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. ⁹ Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, ¹⁰ nor a scrip for the journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor stick: for the workman is worthy of his food.

¹¹ And into whatsoever city or village ye enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye depart. ¹² And when ye come into a family, salute it: ¹³ and if the family shall be deserving, your peace shall come upon it: and if it be not deserving, your peace shall return to you. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor attend to your discourses, go out of that house, or city, and shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

⁷ And called the twelve, and began to send them two and two, and gave them authority over unclean spirits. ⁸ And he commanded them, that they should take nothing for the journey, except a staff only; neither scrip, nor bread, nor even brass money in their purse: ⁹ wearing sandals, and not to be clothed with two coats. ¹⁰ And he said unto them, Wheresoever ye enter into a family, there abide until ye depart thence. ¹¹ And as many as shall not receive you, neither hearken to you, when ye go from thence, shake off the dust from beneath your feet, for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.

¹² And going forth, they preached, that men should repent. ¹³ And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many sick persons, and cured them.

¹ THEN calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. 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 the journey, neither staffs, nor satchel, nor bread, nor money, nor have two coats each. ⁴ And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence go out. ⁵ And whosoever shall not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. ⁶ And they went forth, and passed through the villages, preaching the gospel, and performing cures everywhere.
