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

¹ And he called his twelve disciples unto him, and gave them power over all unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sicknesses, and all manner of diseases. ² The names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon which is called also 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 Alpheus, and Lebbeus, otherwise called Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon of Canaan, and Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him.

⁵ These twelve did Jesus send, and commanded them, saying, "Go not into the ways that lead to the Gentiles, and in to the cities of the Samaritans enter ye not: ⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ Go and preach, saying that the kingdom of heaven is at hand. ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out the devils: Freely ye have received, freely give again. ⁹ Possess not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles, ¹⁰ nor yet scrip towards your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet a staff: for the workman is worthy to have his meat.

¹¹ Into whatsoever city, or town ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till ye go thence. ¹² And when ye come into a house, salute the same. 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 again. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor will hear your preaching, when ye depart out of that house, or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I say unto you, it shall be easier for the land of Sodom, and Gomorra, in the day of judgment, than for that city.

⁷ And he called the twelve, and began to send them, two and two, and gave them power over unclean spirits. ⁸ And commanded them, that they should take nothing unto their Journey, save a rod only: Neither scrip, neither bread, neither money in their purses: ⁹ but should be shod with sandals. And that they should not put on two coats. ¹⁰ And he said unto them, "Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide till ye depart thence. ¹¹ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust that is under your feet, for a witness unto them. I say verily unto you, it shall be easier for Sodom and Gomorra, at the day of judgment, than for that city."

¹² And they went out and preached, that they should repent: ¹³ and they cast out many devils. And they anointed many that were sick with oil and healed them.

¹ Then called he the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and that they might heal diseases. ² And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to cure the sick.

³ And he said to them, "Take no thing to succor you by the way: neither staff, nor scrip, neither bread neither money, neither have two coats. ⁴ And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart. 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 went out, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere.
