7. And remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the worker is worthy of his pay. Do not move from house to house.
8. And into whatever town you enter and they welcome you, eat whatever is set before you,
9. and heal the sick in it, and say to them, “The kingdom of God has come near to you.”
10. But into whatever town you enter and they do not welcome you, go out into its streets and say,
11. “Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you! Nevertheless know this: that the kingdom of God has come near!”
12. I tell you that it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town!
13. Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes!
14. But it will be more bearable for Tyre and for Sidon in the judgment than for you!
15. And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? No! You will be brought down to Hades!
16. The one who listens to you listens to me, and the one who rejects you rejects me. But the one who rejects me rejects the one who sent me.”

20. Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are inscribed in heaven.”
21. At that same time he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to young children. Yes, Father, for this was pleasing before you.
22. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wants to reveal him.”
