⁵Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them saying, “Do not go on the road to the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans, ⁶but go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷And as you^* are going, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near!’ ⁸Heal those who are sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, expel demons. Freely you have received; freely give. ⁹Do not procure gold or silver or copper for your belts. ¹⁰Do not take a traveler’s bag for the road, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff, for the worker is deserving of his provisions. ¹¹And into whatever town or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you depart. ¹²And when you^* enter into the house, greet it. ¹³And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴And whoever does not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you^* are going out of that house or that^e town. ¹⁵Truly I say to you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
