Matthew 10:1-13 ▼

1 And when he had called his twelue disciples vnto hym he gaue them power agaynst vncleane spirites, to cast them out, and to heale all maner of sicknesse, and all maner of disease.

2 The names of the twelue Apostles are these. The first, Simon, whiche is called Peter, and Andrewe his brother, Iames, the sonne of Zebedee, & Iohn his brother,

3 Philip, & Bartholomewe, Thomas and Matthewe, which had ben a Publicane, Iames, ye sonne of Alphee, & Lebbeus, whose surname was Taddeus,

4 Simon the Cananite, & Iudas Iscariot, which also betrayed hym.

5 Iesus sent foorth these twelue, who he comaunded, saying. Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the citie of the Samaritanes enter ye not.

6 But go rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.

7 As ye go, preache, saying: The kyngdome of heauen is at hande.

8 Heale the sicke, cleanse ye lepers, rayse the dead, cast out deuyls. Freely ye haue receaued, freely geue.

9 Possesse not golde, nor syluer, nor brasse in your purses,

10 Nor yet scrippe, towardes your iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor yet a staffe. For the workman is worthy of his meate.

11 But to whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, inquire who is worthy in it, and there abyde, tyll ye go thence.

12 And when ye come into an house, salute the same.

13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace returne to you again.
