5 Yeshua sent out those twelve, instructing them, “Don’t go onto the roads non-Jews use, or into the city of Samaria, 6 but rather go to the lost sheep who are Yisrael’s descendants. 7 As you go, announce to the people that the heavenly kingdom is close. 8 Heal those who need it, bring the dead back to life, get rid of leprosy, and drive evil spirits away. You apprentices received free of charge, so give free of charge. 9 Don’t accept any money for your wallets, 10 [ref]and don’t take a backpack, or a change of clothes or footwear, or a staff, because a worker deserves to be fed.

11 “Whatever city or village you apprentices arrive at, look around to discover who’s godly, and stay with them until you leave. 12 When you enter a home, bless it, 13 and if the house is worthy of it, your peace is to come into it, but if not, your peace is to return to you. 14 [ref]If there’s any that don’t accept you or don’t want to hear your messages, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or city, as a sign that you apprentices accept no responsibility for them. 15 [ref]I can assure you that it’ll be more tolerable for the towns of Sodom and Amorah (Gomorrah) on the day of judgement than it will be for those places.
