Matthew 10:7
5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.
6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.
As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
9 Do not carry any gold or silver or copper in your belts.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
