Compare all
6 aBut go rather to the blost sheep of the house of Israel.  
7 aAnd as you go, preach, saying, b‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’  
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,2 raise the dead, cast out demons. aFreely you have received, freely give.  
9 aProvide neither gold nor silver nor bcopper in your money belts,  
10 nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor staffs; afor a worker is worthy of his food.  
11 a“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.

Matthew 10:8

Freely ye have received, freely give - That is, they were not to sell their favors of healing, preaching, etc. They were not to make a money-making business of it, to bargain specifically to heal for so much, and to cast out devils for so much. This, however, neither then nor afterward precluded them from receiving a competent support. See Luke 10:7; I Corinthians 9:8-14; I Timothy 5:18.
