Matthew

Matthew 10:11–15

¹¹Whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy there and stay at his house^d until you move on. ¹²As you enter the home, greet its occupants.^e ¹³If the home is worthy, let your peace rest on it, but if it is not, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴And if anyone will not welcome you or heed your words, shake the dust off your feet when you leave that home or town. ¹⁵Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
