Matthew 10:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 10:7

5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: ^a“Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of ^bthe Samaritans.

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.
