Amplified Bible

Matthew 10:8-14

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

9Do not take gold, or silver, or [even] copper money in your money belt,

10or a provision bag for your journey, or even two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for the worker deserves his support.

11Whatever city or village you enter, ask who in it is worthy [who welcomes you and your message], and stay at his house until you leave [that city].

12As you go into the house, give it your greeting [that is, ‘Peace be to this house’].

13If [the family living in] the house is worthy [welcoming you and your message], give it your [blessing of] peace [that is, a blessing of well-being and prosperity, the favor of God]. But if it is not worthy, take back your blessing of peace.

14Whoever does not welcome you, nor listen to your message, as you leave that house or city, shake the dust [of it] off your feet [in contempt, breaking all ties].
