Matthew 10:5–15

⁵These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into the way of the nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not; ⁶but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh. ⁸Heal the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously. ⁹Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts, ¹⁰nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment. ¹¹But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth. ¹²And as ye enter into a house salute it. ¹³And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
