And proclaim as you go, saying, (A)‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’[a] (B)Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,[b] cast out demons. (C)You received without paying; give without pay. (D)Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10 no bag for your journey, or two tunics[c] or sandals or a staff, for (E)the laborer deserves his food. 11 And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12 As you enter the house, (F)greet it. 13 And if the house is (G)worthy, let (H)your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let (I)your peace return to you. 14 And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, (J)shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.
