Matthew 10:2-11
New King James Version
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, (A)who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and [a]Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus; 4 (B)Simon the [b]Cananite, and Judas (C)Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
Sending Out the Twelve(D)
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: (E)“Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of (F)the Samaritans. 6 (G)But go rather to the (H)lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 (I)And as you go, preach, saying, (J)‘The kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, [d]cleanse the lepers, [e]raise the dead, cast out demons. (K)Freely you have received, freely give. 9 (L)Provide neither gold nor silver nor (M)copper in your money belts, 10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; (N)for a worker is worthy of his food.
11 (O)“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out.
