5. Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions:Stay away from the Gentiles and don't go to any Samaritan town.
6. Go only to the people of Israel, because they are like a flock of lost sheep.
7. As you go, announce that the kingdom of heaven will soon be here.
8. Heal the sick, raise the dead to life, heal people who have leprosy, and force out demons. You received without paying, now give without being paid.
9. Don't take along any gold, silver, or copper coins.
10. And don't carry a travelling bag or an extra shirt or sandals or a walking stick.Workers deserve their food.
11. So when you go to a town or a village, find someone worthy enough to have you as their guest and stay with them until you leave.
12. When you go to a home, give it your blessing of peace.
