Matthew 10:1-13 ▼

1 And calling His twelve disciples, He gave them power over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and heal every disease, and every malady.

2 And these are the names of the apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus called Thaddeus;

4 Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, the one also having betrayed Him.

5 And Jesus sent out the twelve, commanding them, Go not in the way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans.

6 But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7 And going, preach, saying, That the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.

8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely you did receive, freely give.

9 Take not gold, nor silver, nor copper in your girdles;

10 nor valise for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

11 And into whatsoever city or village you may enter, investigate who in it is worthy; and there abide until you may go hence.

12 And going into a house, salute it.

13 And if the house may be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it may be unworthy, let your peace return unto you.
