Matthew 10: 7-15 - 'You received without charge: give without charge.'

Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:

- 1509 (in 'Heal the Sick') - "Heal the sick!" The Church has received this charge from the Lord and strives to carry it out by taking care of the sick as well as by accompanying them with her prayer of intercession. She believes in the life-giving presence of Christ, the physician of souls and bodies. This presence is particularly active through the sacraments, and in an altogether special way through the Eucharist, the bread that gives eternal life and that St. Paul suggests is connected with bodily health.

- 2121-2122 (in 'Irreligion') - Peter thus held to the words of Jesus: "You received without pay, give without pay." It is impossible to appropriate to oneself spiritual goods and behave toward them as their owner or master, for they have their source in God. One can receive them only from him, without payment...The minister should ask nothing for the administration of the sacraments beyond the offerings defined by the competent authority, always being careful that the needy are not deprived of the help of the sacraments because of their poverty." The competent authority determines these "offerings" in accordance with the principle that the Christian people ought to contribute to the support of the Church's ministers. "The laborer deserves his food." (abbreviated).

- 2443 (in 'Love for the Poor') - God blesses those who come to the aid of the poor and rebukes those who turn away from them: "Give to him who begs from you, do not refuse him who would borrow from you"; "you received without pay, give without pay." It is by what they have done for the poor that Jesus Christ will recognize his chosen ones (abbreviated).

0:00.0	Hi everyone. Welcome back to daily gospel exegesis. As always, what we want to do is look at the gospel
0:18.5	reading from today's Mass and have a go at doing an
0:22.1	exegesis on the text, so really diving into the text of the scripture. So today we're looking
0:27.4	at Matthew chapter 10 verses 7 to 15. Jesus instructed the 12 as follows. As you go, proclaim that the kingdom of heaven is close at hand.
0:41.1	Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils. You received without charge, give without charge.
0:51.3	Provide yourselves with no gold or silver, not even with a few coppers for your purses,
0:58.0	with no have a sack for the journey or spare tunic or footwear or a staff, for the workman deserves his keep.
1:07.0	Whatever town or village you go into, ask for someone trustworthy and stay with him until you leave.
1:14.7	As you enter his house, salute it, and if the house deserves it, let your peace descend upon it.
1:22.4	If it does not, let your peace come back to you.
1:26.9	And if anyone does not welcome you or listen to what you
1:30.0	have to say, as you walk out of the house or town, shake the dust from your feet. I tell you solemnly,
1:38.2	on the day of judgment, it will not go as hard with the land of Sodom and Gomorrah as with that town.
1:47.6	So this is probably a familiar passage to you because this, the start of Matthew
1:53.1	chapter 10 where Jesus lists the 12 apostles and then he starts to give them instructions,
1:57.8	which is what we're hearing today.
2:00.1	So Matthew's version and Mark's version together, they're both read quite a few times in the
2:04.7	liturgical year.
2:05.8	So these words might be pretty familiar to you because we've already looked at them a few
2:09.8	times on the podcast.
2:11.7	But let's dive into it.
2:12.9	So what's the context?
