So that no one can say that you were baptized into my Faith. I baptized also the household of Stephanas. I do not know that I baptized any one else.

Cure the sick, raise the dead, make the lepers clean, drive out demons. You have received free of cost, give free of cost.

Then, if the house is worthy, let your blessing rest upon it, but, if it is unworthy, let your blessing return upon yourselves. If no one welcomes you, or listens to what you say, as you leave that house or that town, shake off its dust from your feet. I tell you, the doom of the land of Sodom and Gomorrah will be more bearable in the 'Day of Judgment' than the doom of that town. Remember, I am sending you out as my Messengers like sheep among wolves. So be as wise as serpents, and as blameless as doves.
