Matthew 10:5-15

5Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them as follows: “Do not go to Gentile regions and do not enter any Samaritan town.

6Go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near!’

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

9Do not take gold, silver, or copper in your belts,

10no bag for the journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals or staff, for the worker deserves his provisions.

11Whenever you enter a town or village, find out who is worthy there and stay with them until you leave.

12As you enter the house, give it greetings.

13And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14And if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your message, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or that town.

15I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
