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

¹ And, having called to Him His twelve disciples, He gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness. ² Now 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 tax-collector; James the son of Alpaeus, and Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent forth, having charged them, saying, "Go not into any way of the gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans; ⁶ but go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And, while going, preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven has come nigh.' ⁸ Heal the sick; raise the dead; cleanse the lepers; cast oat demons; freely ye received, freely give. ⁹ Procure neither gold, nor silver, nor brass, for your girdles; ¹⁰ nor wallet for your journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer is worthy of his food.

¹¹ "And into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till ye go forth. ¹² And, as ye are coming into the house, salute it: ¹³ and, if, indeed, the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but, if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And, whosoever does not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye are going forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust, of your feet. ¹⁵ Verily I say to 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 calleth to Him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two, and was giving them authority over the unclean spirits; ⁸ and He charged them that they should take nothing for the way, except a staff only; no bread, no wallet, no money in their girdle; ⁹ but to go shod with sandals; and He said, put not on two coats. ¹⁰ And He said to them, "Wheresoever ye enter into a house, there abide, till ye depart thence. ¹¹ And whatsoever place does not receive you, and they hear you not, going forth thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony to them."

¹² And, going forth, they preached that men should repent. ¹³ And they were casting out many demons, and were anointing with oil many sick people, and were healing them.

¹ And, having called together the twelve, He gave them power and authority over all the demons, and to heal diseases; ² and He sent them forth to preach the Kingdom of God, and to heal the sick;

³ and He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey??either staff, nor wallet, nor bread, nor money; and not to have two coats. ⁴ "And into whatsoever house ye enter, there abide, and thence depart. ⁵ And as many as do not receive you, going out from that city, shake off the dust from your feet for a testimony against them." ⁶ And, going forth, they were passing through the several villages, proclaiming the good news, and healing everywhere.
