Matthew 10:6-24
-
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.
-
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
-
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
-
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
-
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
-
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
-
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
-
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
-
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
