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

¹ And he called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. ² Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; ³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; ⁴ Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵ Jesus sent these twelve out, and commanded them, saying, "Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans. ⁶ Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And as you go, proclaim, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven is near.' ⁸ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. ⁹ Do not take any gold, nor silver, nor brass in your money belts. ¹⁰ Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

¹¹ And into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on. ¹² And as you enter into the household, greet it. ¹³ And if the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And whoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

⁷ And he called to himself the twelve, and began to send them out two by two; and he gave them authority over the unclean spirits. ⁸ And he commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a staff only: no bread, no wallet, no money in their purse, ⁹ but to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics. ¹⁰ And he said to them, "Wherever you enter into a house, stay there until you depart from there. ¹¹ Whoever will not receive you nor hear you, as you depart from there, shake off the dust that is under your feet for a testimony against them."

¹² So they went out and proclaimed that all should repent. ¹³ They cast out many demons, and anointed many with oil who were sick, and healed them.

¹ He called the twelve together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases. ² He sent them forth to proclaim the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

³ He said to them, "Take nothing for your journey?neither staffs, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; neither have two coats apiece. ⁴ Into whatever house you enter, stay there, and depart from there. ⁵ As many as do not receive you, when you depart from that city, shake off even the dust from your feet for a testimony against them." ⁶ They departed, and went throughout the villages, proclaiming the Good News, and healing everywhere.
