Carry no money |
Go out and proclaim that the kingdom of God is near. Carry no purse, no bag, and no staff. Whatever house you enter, stay there until you leave. Whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them. |

Lighting a lamp |
No one after lighting a lamp puts it under a measuring bowl, but on a lampstand. |

If your right hand is causing your downfall, cut it off and throw it away; it is better for you to enter life maimed than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
