Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles
5 1These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of
2the Samaritans,
7
And proclaim as you go, saying,
6‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand. ’
8
7Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.
8You received without paying; give without pay.
9
9Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts,
10
no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals or a staff, for
10the laborer deserves his food.
11
And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart.
13
And if the house is
12worthy, let
13your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let
14your peace return to you.
14
And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words,
15shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.
15
Truly, I say to you,
16it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for
17the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
