Matthew 10:11-16 (ESV)

chapter 10

11. And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it and stay there until you depart.

12. As you enter the house, greet it.

13. And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14. And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet when you leave that house or town.

15. Truly, I say to you, it will be more bearable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town.

16. “Behold, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst of wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.
