Context of Matthew 10:7

5Jesus sent out these twelve after giving them instructions: “Don’t take the road that leads to the Gentiles, and don’t enter any Samaritan town. 6Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9Don’t acquire gold, silver, or copper for your money-belts.
