Gospel according to Matthew

Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;

Simon the Canaanite; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

Jesus sent these twelve out, and charged them, saying, "Don't go among the Gentiles, and don't enter into any city of the Samaritans.

Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

As you go, preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!'

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.

Don't take any gold, nor silver, nor brass in your money belts.

Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.

As you enter into the household, greet it.
