Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

^5 (A)These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of ^(B)the Samaritans,

^9 (A)Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, ¹⁰ no bag for your journey, or two tunics^[a] or sandals or a staff, for ^(B)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, ^(C)greet it. ¹³ And if the house is ^(D)worthy, let ^(E)your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let ^(F)your peace return to you. ¹⁴ And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, ^(G)shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

9 ^(A)And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases,

^3 (A)And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, ^(B)no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.^{[a] 4} And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. ⁵ And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town ^(C)shake off the dust from your feet ^(D)as a testimony ^(E)against them.”

^4 (A)Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and ^(B)greet no one on the road. ⁵ Whatever house you enter, first say, ^(C)‘Peace be to this house!’ ⁶ And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, ^(D)it will return to you. ⁷ And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for ^(E)the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. ⁸ Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. ⁹ Heal the sick in it and say to them, ^(F)‘The kingdom of God has come near to you.’ ¹⁰ But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, ^11 (G)‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that ^(H)the kingdom of God has come near.’
