Matthew 10:8-14 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

8. Heal the sick. Bring the dead back to life. Heal the people who have leprosy. And force demons out of people. I give you these powers freely, so help others freely.

9. Don’t carry any money with you—gold or silver or copper.

10. Don’t carry a bag. Take only the clothes and sandals you are wearing. And don’t take a walking stick. A worker should be given what he needs.

11. “When you enter a city or town, find some worthy person there and stay in his home until you leave.

12. When you enter that home, say, ‘Peace be with you.’

13. If the people in that home welcome you, they are worthy of your peace. May they have the peace you wished for them. But if they don’t welcome you, they are not worthy of your peace. Take back the peace you wished for them.

14. And if the people in a home or a town refuse to welcome you or listen to you, then leave that place and shake the dust off your feet.
