New TestamentMatthewThe Ministry of the Twelve · 10:5–1510:5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:10:6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.10:7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.10:9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,10:10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.10:11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.10:12 And when ye come into an house, salute it.10:13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
