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

¹ AND calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power over impure spirits to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every infirmity. ² And the names of the twelve apostles are these; 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 Alpheus, and Lebbeus, called Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon, the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out and charged them, saying; Go not into a way of gentiles, and enter not into a city of Samaritans, ⁶ but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel; ⁷ and as you go, preach, saying, The kingdom of Heaven is at hand. ⁸ Cure the sick, cleanse lepers, cast out demons; you have received gratuitously, gratuitously give. ⁹ Take not gold, nor silver, nor copper for your purses, ¹⁰ nor a provision sack for the way, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor staves; for the laborer is worthy of his support;

¹¹ and into whatever city or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till you leave. ¹² And when you go into a house, salute it; ¹³ and if the house is worthy, your blessing shall come upon it; but if the house is not worthy, your blessing shall return to you. ¹⁴ And if any one does not receive you, nor hear your words, when you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ I tell you truly, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in a day of judgment, than for that city.

⁷ And he called the twelve, and sent them out two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits; ⁸ and charged them to take nothing for the way, except a staff only; not bread, nor a provision sack, nor copper in the girdle, ⁹ but to wear sandals, and not to put on two coats. ¹⁰ And he said to them, Where you enter into a house, there remain till you go out thence. ¹¹ And whatever place will not receive you, nor hear you, when you go out thence shake off the dust which is under your feet for a testimony to them.

¹² And going out, they preached that [men] should change their minds, ¹³ and cast out many demons, and anointed many sick persons with oil, and cured them.

¹ AND calling together the twelve, he gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases, ² and sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God, and to cure the sick.

³ And he said to them, Take for the way neither a staff nor a provision sack, nor bread, nor silver, and have not two coats apiece. ⁴ And into whatever house you enter, there remain and thence depart. ⁵ And whoever does not receive you, when you go out of that city shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony to them. ⁶ And they went out and passed through the villages, everywhere proclaiming the good news and performing cures.
