Matthew 10:5-16
-
5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:
-
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
-
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
-
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
-
9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,
-
10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.
-
11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
-
12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.
-
13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
-
14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
-
15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
-
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
