5 Jesus sent out these 12 after giving them instructions: “Don’t take the road leading to other nations, and don’t enter any Samaritan town.
6 Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 As you go, announce this: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with skin diseases, drive out demons. You have received free of charge; give free of charge.
9 Don’t take along gold, silver, or copper for your money-belts.
10 Don’t take a traveling bag for the road, or an extra shirt, sandals, or a walking stick, for the worker is worthy of his food.
11 “When you enter any town or village, find out who is worthy, and stay there until you leave.
