3 “You can go now. But listen! I am sending you, and you will be like sheep among wolves.
4 Don’t carry any money, a bag, or sandals. Don’t stop to talk with people on the road.
5 Before you go into a house, say, ‘Peace be with this home.’
6 If the people living there love peace, your blessing of peace will stay with them. But if not, your blessing of peace will come back to you.
7 Stay in the peace-loving house. Eat and drink what the people there give you. A worker should be given his pay. Don’t leave that house to stay in another house.
8 “If you go into a town and the people welcome you, eat the food they give you.
9 Heal the sick people who live there, and tell them, ‘God’s kingdom is now very near you!’
