Matthew 10:5-11

5Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans,

6but only to the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep.

7Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near.

8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!

9“Don’t take any money in your money belts—no gold, silver, or even copper coins.

10Don’t carry a traveler’s bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed.

11“Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person and stay in his home until you leave town.
