9 Do not choose to possess gold, nor silver, nor money in your belts,

nor valise for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.
11 Now, into whatever city or town you will enter, inquire as to who is worthy within it. And stay there until you depart.
And into whatsoever city or village you may enter, investigate who in it is worthy; and there abide until you may go hence.
12 Then, when you enter into the house, greet it, saying, ‘Peace to this house.’
And going into a house, salute it.
13 And if, indeed, that house is worthy, your peace will rest upon it. But if it is not worthy, your peace will return to you.
And if the house may be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it may be unworthy, let your peace return unto you.

19 But when they hand you over, do not choose to think about how or what to speak. For what to speak shall be given to you in that hour.
And when they may deliver you, be not solicitous how or what you may speak: for it will be given unto you in that hour what you may say.

24 The disciple is not above the teacher, nor is the servant above his master.
The disciple is not above his teacher, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is sufficient for the disciple that he be like his teacher, and the servant, like his master. If they have called the Father of the family, ‘Beelzebub,’ how much more those of his household?
It is sufficient for the disciple that he may be as his teacher, and the servant, as his lord: if they call the landlord Beelzebul, how much more the inmates of his house?

31 Therefore, do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows.
Then fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Therefore, everyone who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father, who is in heaven.
Therefore every one who shall confess me before the people, I will also confess him before my Father, who is in the heavens.
33 But whoever will have denied me before men, I also will deny before my Father, who is in heaven.
But whosoever may deny me before the people, I will also deny him before my Father who is in the heavens.

For I came to divide a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:
36 And the enemies of a man will be those of his own household.
and the enemies of a man will be the inmates of his own house.
37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever loves son or daughter above me is not worthy of me.
He that loveth father and mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.

The one receiving you will receive me, and the one receiving me will receive Him that sent me.
41 Whoever receives a prophet, in the name of a prophet, shall receive the reward of a prophet. And whoever receives the just in the name of the just shall receive the reward of the just.
The one receiving a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive the reward of a prophet; and the one receiving a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive the reward of a righteous man.
42 And whoever shall give, even to one of the least of these, a cup of cold water to drink, solely in the name of a disciple: Amen I say to you, he shall not lose his reward.”
And whosoever may give one of these little ones only a cup of cold water, in the name of a disciple, truly I say unto you, He can not lose his reward.
