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

¹ Then calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of weakness. ² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: 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 Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; ⁴ Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying, Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans, 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 come. ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons; freely ye have received, freely give. ⁹ Provide neither gold nor silver nor money in your girdles, ¹⁰ nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes nor a staff, for the workman is worthy of his food.

¹¹ And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, search out with diligence who in it is worthy; and there abide until ye go from there. ¹² And entering into the house, salute it. ¹³ And if the house is worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it is not worthy, your peace shall return to you. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear your words, depart 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 those of Sodom and those of Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

⁷ And he called unto him the twelve and began to send them forth by two and two and gave them power over the unclean spirits ⁸ and commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey except a staff only: no provision bag, no bread, no money in their purse; ⁹ but be shod with sandals and not put on two coats. ¹⁰ And he said unto them, In whatever place ye enter into a house, there abide until ye depart from that place. ¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear you, when ye depart from there, shake off the dust under your feet in testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha 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 they were healed.

¹ Then he called his twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all the demons and to cure diseases. ² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

³ And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey: neither staves nor provision bag, neither bread, neither money, neither have two coats apiece. ⁴ And whatever house ye enter into, abide there and depart from there. ⁵ And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them. ⁶ And they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing every where.
