Matthew 10:5-12
New American Standard Bible
5 (A)These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, “Do not go on a road [a]to Gentiles, and do not enter a city of (B)Samaritans; 6 but rather go to (C)the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, [b]preach, saying, ‘(D)The kingdom of heaven [c]has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give. 9 (E)Do not acquire gold, or silver, or copper for your money belts, 10 or a [d]bag for your journey, or even two [e]tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for (F)the worker is deserving of his [f]support. 11 And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay [g]at his house until you leave that city. 12 As you enter the [h]house, (G)give it your [i]greeting.

Sending Out the Twelve(A)
5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: (B)“Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of (C)the Samaritans. 6 (D)But go rather to the (E)lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 (F)And as you go, preach, saying, (G)‘The kingdom of heaven [a]is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, [b]cleanse the lepers, [c]raise the dead, cast out demons. (H)Freely you have received, freely give. 9 (I)Provide neither gold nor silver nor (J)copper in your money belts, 10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; (K)for a worker is worthy of his food.
11 (L)“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.
