1. Then calling his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of weakness.
2. Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: the first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee and John his brother;
3. Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;
4. Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5. These twelve Jesus sent forth and commanded them, saying, Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans,
6. but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has come.
8. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons; freely ye have received, freely give.
9. Provide neither gold nor silver nor money in your girdles,
10. nor bag for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes nor a staff, for the workman is worthy of his food.
11. And into whatever city or town ye shall enter, search out with diligence who in it is worthy; and there abide until ye go from there.
12. And entering into the house, salute it.
13. And if the house is worthy, your peace shall come upon it; but if it is not worthy, your peace shall return to you.
14. And whosoever shall not receive you nor hear your words, depart out of that house or city and shake off the dust of your feet.
