Matthew 10:5-15

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

5 aThese twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of bthe Samaritans, 6 cbut go rather to dthe lost sheep of ethe house of Israel. 7And proclaim as you go, saying, f‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 gHeal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers,
Leprosy was a term for several skin diseases; see Leviticus 13
cast out demons. iYou received without paying; give without pay.
9 jAcquire no gold or silver or copper for your belts, 10no bag for your journey, or two tunics
Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin
or sandals or a staff, for lthe laborer deserves his food.
11And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart. 12As you enter the house, mgreet it. 13And if the house is nworthy, let oyour peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let pyour peace return to you. 14And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, qshake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town. 15Truly, I say to you, rit will be more bearable on the day of judgment for sthe land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

Luke 9:1-6

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

1 tAnd he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 uand he sent them out to vproclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 3 wAnd he said to them, Take nothing for your journey, xno staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics.
Greek chiton, a long garment worn under the cloak next to the skin
4And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town zshake off the dust from your feet aaas a testimony abagainst them.” 6 acAnd they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
