katapi HOME Matthew 10:5-15 - The Commissioning of the Twelve  Mt.10.5-15 (Hill of Hattin?)- Mk.6.7-13, Lk.9.1-6 | NEB Contents | notes

10 5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: 'Do not take the road to gentile lands, and do not enter any Samaritan town; 10 6 but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 10 7 And as you go proclaim the message: "The kingdom of Heaven is upon you." 10 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out devils. You received without cost; give without charge.
10 9 'Provide no gold, silver, or copper to fill your purse, 10 10 no pack for the road, no second coat, no shoes, no stick; the worker earns his keep.
10 11 'When you come to any town or village, look for some worthy person in it, and make your home there until you leave. 10 12 Wish the house peace as you enter it, 10 13 so that, if it is worthy, your peace may descend on it; if it is not worthy, your peace can come back to you. 10 14 If anyone will not receive you or listen to what you say, then as you leave that house or that town shake the dust of it off your feet. 10 15 I tell you this: on the day of judgement it will be more bearable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.
