Matthew 10:5–15

⁵These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.

⁶But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

⁷And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

⁸Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.

⁹Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:

¹⁰Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.

¹¹And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.

¹²And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.

¹³And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.

¹⁴And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.

¹⁵Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
