10:6 Go instead to the lost sheep of the
house of
Israel.
7 As you
go,
preach this
message: ‘
The kingdom of
heaven is
near!’ 8 Heal the
sick,
raise the
dead,
cleanse lepers,
cast out demons.
Freely you
received,
freely give.
9 Do
not take gold,
silver,
or copper in your belts;
10 no bag for the
journey;
or an
extra tunic or sandals or staff;
for the worker deserves his provisions.
11 Whenever you
enter a
town or village,
find out who is worthy there and
stay with them until you
leave.
12 As you
enter the house,
greet those within
it.
13 And if the house is worthy, let
your peace come on it,
but if it is not worthy, let
your peace return to you.
14 And if
anyone will
not welcome you or listen to
your message,
shake the dust off your feet as
you leave that house or that
town.
15 I
tell you the
truth,
it will
be more bearable for the
region of
Sodom and Gomorrah on the
day of
judgment than for
that town!
