Matthew 10:11

9 Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.

10 Take no bag for the road, or second tunic, or sandals, or staff; for the worker is worthy of his provisions.

Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house until you move on.

12 As you enter the home, greet its occupants.

13 If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it; but if it is not, let your peace return to you.
