Matthew 10:13

Verse 13 of 42. The 10th of 28 chapters in Matthew, in The Gospels.

9Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.

10Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

11Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you go on.

12As you enter into the household, greet it.

13If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn’t worthy, let your peace return to you.

14Whoever doesn’t receive you or hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake the dust off your feet.

15Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

16“Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

17But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.
