Matthew 10

¹And he got together his twelve disciples and gave them the power of driving out unclean spirits, and of making well all sorts of disease and pain.

²Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

³Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

⁴Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who was false to him.

⁵These twelve Jesus sent out and gave them orders, saying, Do not go among the Gentiles, or into any town of Samaria,

⁶But go to the wandering sheep of the house of Israel,

⁷And, on your way, say, The kingdom of heaven is near.

⁸Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.

⁹Take no gold or silver or copper in your pockets;

¹⁰Take no bag for your journey and do not take two coats or shoes or a stick: for the workman has a right to his food.

¹¹And into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.

¹²And when you go in, say, May peace be on this house.

¹³And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.
