⁹你們腰袋裡不要帶金、銀、銅錢；

¹⁰路上不要帶行囊，也不要帶兩件衣裳，不要帶鞋或手杖，因為作工的理當得到供應。

¹⁰ Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

¹¹你們無論進哪一座城哪一個村，都要打聽誰配接待你們，就住在那裡，直到離去。

¹¹ Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.

¹²到他家裡的時候，要向他們問安；

¹⁶使徒會遭受迫害（可13:11~13；路21:12~17）“現在，我差派你們出去，好像羊進到狼群中間；所以你們要像蛇一樣機警，像鴿子一樣純潔。

²⁹ “Aren’t two sparrows sold for an assarion coin An assarion is a small coin worth one tenth of a drachma or a sixteenth of a denarius. An assarion is approximately the wages of one half hour of agricultural labor. ? Not one of them falls on the ground apart from your Father’s will,

⁴⁰ He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

⁴¹因先知的名接待先知的，必得先知所得的賞賜；因義人的名接待義人的，必得義人所得的賞賜。

⁴¹ He who receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward. He who receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man will receive a righteous man’s reward.

⁴²無論誰因門徒的名，只把一杯涼水給這些微不足道的人中的一個喝，我實在告訴你們，他決不會得不到他的賞賜。”
