Yeshua sent out these twelve and ordered them, “Do not go to the Gentiles, and do not enter into any Samaritan town.
But go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
As you go, proclaim, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near!’
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with tza'arat, drive out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
Do not get gold or silver or copper for your money belts,
or a bag for the journey, or two shirts, or sandals, or a walking stick; for the worker is entitled to his food.
“Whatever town or village you shall enter, find out who in it is worthy and stay there until you leave.
As you come into the house, greet it.
If the household is worthy, let your shalom come upon it. But if it’s not worthy, let your shalom return to you.
And whoever will not receive you or listen to your words, as you leave that house or that town, shake the dust off your feet.
Amen, I tell you, it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the Day of Judgment than for that town.
“Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
But beware of men, for they will hand you over to the courts and flog you in their synagogues.
You will be brought before governors and kings because of Me, as a witness to them and to the Gentiles.
But when they hand you over, do not worry about how or what you should say, for it shall be given to you in that hour what you should say.
For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against their parents and have them put to death.
And you will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end shall be saved.
Whenever they persecute you in one city, flee to the next. Amen, I tell you, you will never finish going through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
“A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.
It is enough for the disciple to become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house beelzebul, how much more the members of his household!
