^9 (A)Provide neither gold nor silver nor ^(B)copper in your money belts, ¹⁰ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; ^(C)for a worker is worthy of his food.

^11 (D)“Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out. ¹² And when you go into a household, greet it. ^13 (E)If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. ^(F)But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. ^14 (G)And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, ^(H)shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Assuredly, I say to you, ^(I)it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!

⁸ He commanded them to take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bag, no bread, no copper in their money belts— ⁹ but ^(A)to wear sandals, and not to put on two tunics.

^10 (B)Also He said to them, “In whatever place you enter a house, stay there till you depart from that place. ^11 (C)And ^[a]whoever will not receive you nor hear you, when you depart from there, ^(D)shake off the dust under your feet as a testimony against them. ^[b]Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city!”

^4 (A)Carry neither money bag, knapsack, nor sandals; and ^(B)greet no one along the road. ^5 (C)But whatever house you enter, first say, ‘Peace to this house.’ ⁶ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on it; if not, it will return to you. ^7 (D)And remain in the same house, ^(E)eating and drinking such things as they give, for ^(F)the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house. ⁸ Whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat such things as are set before you. ^9 (G)And heal the sick there, and say to them, ^(H)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ¹⁰ But whatever city you enter, and they do not receive you, go out into its streets and say, ^11 (I)‘The very dust of your city which clings to ^[a]us we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near you.’ ^12 [b]But I say to you that ^(J)it will be more tolerable in that Day for Sodom than for that city.

Supplies for the Road

^35 (A)And He said to them, “When I sent you without money bag, knapsack, and sandals, did you lack anything?”
