Matthew 10:7-16

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.

15Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

16“Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
