Matthew - ch 10 v 1 - 20
- And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities.
- And the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,
- James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus,
- Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
- These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not.
- But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
- And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
- Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.
- Do not possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your purses:
- Nor scrip for your journey, nor two coats, nor shoes, nor a staff; for the workman is worthy of his meat.
- And into whatsoever city or town you shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till you go thence.
- And when you come into the house, salute it, saying: Peace be to this house.
- And if that house be worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it be not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
- And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words: going forth out of that house or city shake off the dust from your feet.
- Amen I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
- Behold I send you as sheep in the midst of wolves. Be ye therefore wise as serpents and simple as doves.
- But beware of men. For they will deliver you up in councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.
- And you shall be brought before governors, and before kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles:
- But when they shall deliver you up, take no thought how or what to speak: for it shall be given you in that hour what to speak.
- For it is not you that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaketh in you.
