Matthew 10:1-13 ▼

1 And hee called his twelue disciples vnto him, and gaue them power against vncleane spirits, to cast them out, and to heale euery sickenesse, and euery disease.

2 Nowe the names of the twelue Apostles are these. The first is Simon, called Peter, and Andrewe his brother: Iames the sonne of Zebedeus, and Iohn his brother.

3 Philippe and Bartlemewe: Thomas, and Matthewe that Publicane: Iames the sonne of Alpheus, & Lebbeus whose surname was Thaddeus:

4 Simon the Cananite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betraied him.

5 These twelue did Iesus send forth, & commaunded them, saying, Goe not into the way of of the Gentiles, and into the cities of the Samaritans enter yee not:

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

7 And as ye goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand.

8 Heale the sicke: cleanse the lepers: raise vp the dead: cast out the deuils. Freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.

9 Possesse not golde, nor siluer, nor money in your girdels,

10 Nor a scrippe for the iourney, neither two coates, neither shoes, nor a staffe: for the workeman is worthie of his meate.

11 And into whatsoeuer citie or towne ye shall come, enquire who is worthy in it, and there abide till yee goe thence.

12 And when yee 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 worthie, let your peace returne to you.
