Matthew 10:2-10 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

2. Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these: the First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother,

3. James of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus,

4. Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5. Jesus sent these twelve, instructing them, saying: "Do not travel by the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into the city of the Samaritans,

6. but instead go to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.

7. And going forth, preach, saying: 'For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.'

8. Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.

9. Do not choose to possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your belts,

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