Matthew 10:7-12 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

7. When you go, preach this: ‘The kingdom of heaven is coming soon.’

8. Heal the sick. Give dead people life again. Heal those who have harmful skin diseases. Force demons to leave people. I give you these powers freely. So help other people freely.

9. Don’t carry any money with you—gold or silver or copper.

10. Don’t carry a bag. Take for your trip only the clothes and sandals you are wearing. Don’t take a walking stick. A worker should be given the things he needs.

11. “When you enter a city or town, find some worthy person there and stay in his home until you leave.

12. When you enter that home, say, ‘Peace be with you.’
