Matthew 10:9-15

9 1Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, 10or a 2bag for your journey, or even two 3tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for 4the worker is deserving of his 5support. 11And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay 6at his house until you leave that city. 12As you enter the 7house, 8give it your 9greeting. 13If the house is worthy, see that your blessing of peace comes upon it. But if it is not worthy, 10take back your blessing of peace. 14And whoever does not receive you nor listen to your words, as you leave that house or city, 11shake the dust off your feet. 15Truly I say to you, 12it will be more tolerable for the land of 13Sodom and Gomorrah on 14the day of judgment, than for that city.
