Matthew - ch 10 v 1 - 20
- And having called to him his twelve disciples, he gave them power over unclean spirits, so that they should cast them out, and heal every disease and every bodily weakness.
- Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
- Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus;
- Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.
- These twelve Jesus sent out when he had charged them, saying, Go not off into the way of the nations, and into a city of Samaritans enter ye not;
- but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
- And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn nigh.
- Heal the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons: ye have received gratuitously, give gratuitously.
- Do not provide yourselves with gold, or silver, or brass, for your belts,
- nor scrip for the way, nor two body coats, nor sandals, nor a staff: for the workman is worthy of his nourishment.
- But into whatsoever city or village ye enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there remain till ye go forth.
- And as ye enter into a house salute it.
- And if the house indeed be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
- And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, as ye go forth out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
- Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in judgment-day than for that city.
- Behold, I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore prudent as the serpents, and guileless as the doves.
- But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to sanhedrims, and scourge you in their synagogues;
- and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.
- But when they deliver you up, be not careful how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given to you in that hour what ye shall speak.
- For ye are not the speakers, but the Spirit of your Father which speaks in you.
