(Matthew 4:19) And he said to them: “Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.” (Matthew 10:7) As you go, preach, saying: ‘The Kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ (Matthew 10:11-13) “Into whatever city or village you enter, search out who in it is deserving, and stay there until you leave. 12 When you enter the house, greet the household. 13 If the house is deserving, let the peace you wish it come upon it; but if it is not deserving, let the peace from you return upon you.
