Context of Matthew 10:7

5Jesus sent out these 12 disciples. Before they left, he said to them, ‘Do not go to any place where the people are Gentiles. And do not go to towns where only Samaritans live. 6Instead, you must go to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep with nobody to take care of them. While you travel, you must tell people about the kingdom of heaven. You must tell them that it has now become near. 8Make sick people well again. Cause dead people to become alive again. If people have a bad disease of the skin, make them well again. Send bad spirits out of people to leave them. God has been very kind to you, so you should be kind to other people. When you help people, do not ask them for money. 9Do not take any money in your purses.
