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

¹ And He called unto Him his twelve disciples, and gave them power over impure spirits, even to cast them out; and to cure all diseases and every malady whatsoever. ² Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; Philip, and Bartholomew; ³ Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus who was surnamed Thaddeus; ⁴ Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, even he that betrayed Him.

⁵ These twelve did Jesus send forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not among the gentiles, neither enter into any city of the Samaritans: ⁶ but go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand: and in confirmation of your doctrine heal the sick, ⁸ cleanse the leprous, raise the dead, cast out demons; and as ye have received freely, freely give. ⁹ Take not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses: take no bag for your journey, ¹⁰ nor two coats, nor shoes, nor weapons; for the laborer is worthy of his food.

¹¹ And into whatsoever city or town ye enter, inquire who in it is a worthy person, and there remain till ye leave the place. ¹² And when ye come into the house, salute them: ¹³ and if the family be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if they be not worthy, your salutation shall return to you. ¹⁴ And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hearken to your words; when ye come out of that house or city, shake off the very dust of your feet: ¹⁵ for I tell you verily, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha, in the day of judgement, than for that city.

⁷ And He calleth unto Him the twelve, and sent them forth two and two, and gave them power over impure spirits; ⁸ and ordered them to take nothing for their journey, but a staff only; no bag, nor bread, nor money in their purse: ⁹ but to tie on their sandals, and not to put on two coats. ¹⁰ And He said unto them, wheresoever ye enter into a house, there stay till ye leave that place. ¹¹ And whosoever will not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, it shall be more tolerable for Sodom or Gomorrah in the day of judgement, than for that city.

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

¹ And He called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases: ² and He sent them forth 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 bag, nor bread, nor money; nor two coats a piece. ⁴ And into whatever house ye enter, continue there, till ye leave that place. ⁵ And whosoever will not receive you, when ye depart from that city, shake off the very dust from your feet, for a testimony against them. ⁶ And they went from town to town, preaching the gospel and healing every where.
