Scriptures

New King James Version (NKJV)

Matthew 10

¹⁰ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; for a worker is worthy of his food.
¹¹ Now whatever city or town you enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and stay there till you go out.
¹² And when you go into a household, greet it.
¹³ If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
¹⁵ Assuredly, I say to 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 in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.
¹⁷ But beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you in their synagogues.
¹⁸ You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
¹⁹ But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak;
