Matthew 10:2-14

2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John;

3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

5These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

6Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.

7As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9“Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts—

10no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.

11Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave.

12As you enter the home, give it your greeting.

13If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you.

14If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.
