Matthew 10:5-7

EasyEnglish Bible

Jesus sends out his 12 apostles

⁵ Jesus sent out these 12 disciples. Before they left, he said to them, ‘Do not go to any place where the people are Gentiles. And do not go to towns where only Samaritans live.^{[a] 6} Instead, you must go to the people of Israel. They are like lost sheep with nobody to take care of them. ⁷ While you travel, you must tell people about the kingdom of heaven. You must tell them that it has now become near.
