Matthew 10:10-22 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. nor provisions for the journey, nor two tunics, nor shoes, nor a staff. For the laborer deserves his portion.

11. Now, into whatever city or town you will enter, inquire as to who is worthy within it. And stay there until you depart.

12. Then, when you enter into the house, greet it, saying, 'Peace to this house.'

13. And if, indeed, that house is worthy, your peace will rest upon it. But if it is not worthy, your peace will return to you.

14. And whoever has neither received you, nor listened to your words, departing from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.

15. Amen I say to 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 am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be as prudent as serpents and as simple as doves.

17. But beware of men. For they will hand you over to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.

18. And you shall be led before both rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.

19. But when they hand you over, do not choose to think about how or what to speak. For what to speak shall be given to you in that hour.

20. For it is not you who will be speaking, but the Spirit of your Father, who will speak in you.

21. And brother will hand over brother to death, and father will hand over son. And children will rise up against parents and bring about their deaths.

22. And you will be hated by all for the sake of my name. But whoever will have persevered, even to the end, the same shall be saved.
