Gospel: Matthew 10:7-15
7 As you go, preach, saying, 'The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!'
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,† and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.
9 Don't take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.
10 Take no bag for your journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the labourer is worthy of his food.
11 Into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and stay there until you go on.
12 As you enter into the household, greet it.
13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it isn't worthy, let your peace return to you.
14 Whoever doesn't receive you, nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or that city, shake off the dust from your feet.
15 Most certainly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgement than for that city.
†10:8: TR adds "raise the dead,"

Genesis 44:18-21a: 23b-29, 45:1-5
18 Then Judah came near to him, and said, "Oh, my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and don't let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, 'Have you a father, or a brother?'
20 We said to my lord, 'We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loves him.'
21a You said to your servants,
23b 'Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will see my face no more.'
24 When we came up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.
25 Our father said, 'Go again, buy us a little food.'
26 We said, 'We can't go down. If our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down: for we may not see the man's face, unless our youngest brother is with us.'
27 Your servant, my father, said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons:
28 and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces"; and I haven't seen him since.
29 If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my grey hairs with sorrow to Sheol.'*
*44:29: Sheol is the place of the dead.
