Matthew 10:8-15 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

8. Heal those who are sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, expel demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

9. Do not procure gold or silver or copper for your belts.

10. Do not take a traveler’s bag for the road, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff, for the worker is deserving of his provisions.

11. And into whatever town or village you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there until you depart.

12. And when you enter into the house, greet it.

13. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14. And whoever does not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you are going out of that house or that town.

15. Truly I say to you, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
