Luke 10:4-12

4 "¹Carry no money belt, no bag, no shoes; and greet no one on the way.

5 "Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house.'

6 "If a man of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.

7 "Stay in that house, eating and drinking what they give you; for ²the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not keep moving from house to house.

8 "Whatever city you enter and they receive you, ³eat what is set before you;

9 and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, '⁴The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

10 "But whatever * city you enter and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say,

11 '⁵Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that ⁶the kingdom of God has come near.'

12 "I say to you, ⁷it will be more tolerable in that day for ⁸Sodom than for that city.
