3
Go your ways. Behold, I send you out as lambs in the midst of wolves.
4
Carry no purse, nor wallet, nor sandals. Greet no one on the way.
5
Into whatever house you enter, first say, `Peace be to this house.`
6
If a son of peace is there, your peace will rest on him; but if not, it will return to you.
7
Remain in that same house, eating and drinking the things they give, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Don`t go from house to house.
8
Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.
9
Heal the sick who are therein, and tell them, `The kingdom of God has come near to you.`
10
But into whatever city you enter, and they don`t receive you, go out into the streets of it and say,
11
`Even the dust from your city that clings to us, we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this, that the kingdom of God has come near to you.`
12
I tell you, it will be more tolerable in that day for Sodom than for that city.
