Matthew 10:9-15
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
9 (A)Do not take gold or silver or copper for your belts; 10 (B)no sack for the journey, or a second tunic, or sandals, or walking stick. The laborer deserves his keep. 11 (C)Whatever town or village you enter, look for a worthy person in it, and stay there until you leave. 12 As you enter a house, wish it peace. 13 If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; if not, let your peace return to you.[a] 14 [b](D)Whoever will not receive you or listen to your words—go outside that house or town and shake the dust from your feet. 15 Amen, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.(E)
