Matthew 10:1-13 ▼

1 And having called his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every weakness.

2 And the names of the twelve sent are these: first, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James, he of Zebedee and John his brother;

3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector; James, he of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, he surnamed Thaddeus;

4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, he also having delivered him up.

5 These twelve Jesus sent, having announced to them, saying, Go not in the way of the nations, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.

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

7 And going, proclaim, saying, That the kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.

8 Cure the sick, cleanse the leprous, rouse the dead, cast out demons; as a gift ye have received, as a gift give.

9 Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses;

10 Nor wallet for the way, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor rod: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

11 And to whatever city or town ye should come in, examine who in it is worthy; and there remain till ye go forth.

12 And entering into a house, do ye greet it.

13 And if the house should be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy let your peace return to you.
