Mt 10:5: 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:

Mt 10:6: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

Mt 10:7: And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Mt 10:8: Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Mt 10:9: Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

Mt 10:10: Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

Mt 10:11: And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.

Mt 10:12: And when ye come into an house, salute it.

Mt 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.

Mt 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.

Mt 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.
