Matthew 10:2-14

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

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

4Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.

5These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.

6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

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

9Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper in your money belts,

10nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.

11“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out.

12And when you go into a household, greet it.

13If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
