Matthew 10:10–18
10Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.↗
11Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.↗
12As you enter into the household, greet it.↗
13If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.↗
14Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.↗
15Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.↗
16“Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.↗
17But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.↗
18Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.↗
