Instructions for the Limited Mission

5

These twelve Yeshua sent out with the following instructions: "Don't go into the territory of the Goyim, and don't enter any town in Shomron,

6

but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Isra'el.

7

As you go, proclaim, `The Kingdom of Heaven is near,'

8

heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those afflicted with tzara'at, expel demons. You have received without paying, so give without asking payment.

9

Don't take money in your belts, no gold, no silver, no copper;

10

and for the trip don't take a pack, an extra shirt, shoes or a walking stick -- a worker should be given what he needs.

11

"When you come to a town or village, look for someone trustworthy and stay with him until you leave.

12

When you enter someone's household, say, `Shalom aleikhem!'

13

If the home deserves it, let your shalom rest on it; if not, let your shalom return to you.

14

But if the people of a house or town will not welcome you or listen to you, leave it and shake its dust from your feet!

15

Yes, I tell you, it will be more tolerable on the Day of Judgment for the people of S'dom and `Amora than for that town!
