Notice how the Satan's witnesses liars take snippets here and there out 
of context to promote their lies:

Context

“And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You 
received without paying; give without pay. Acquire no gold or silver or 
copper for your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics or sandals 
or a staff, for the laborer deserves his food.” (Matthew 10:7–10, ESV)

Notice from the context:

"The laborer deserves his wages"

Christ told them not to charge people money for the miracles they 
performed, not to accept no resources from the people to whom they 
ministered. The very same passage says the reason they were to take no 
money was because "the laborer deserves his food". That means they were 
to accept the resources they needed to eat and carry on the ministry, 
from the people they worked among. They just weren't supposed to demand 
a fee for performing the miracles.

Good News †

Jesus is God: christrose.news/Jesus-God.

The true gospel that saves declares that Christ died for our sins and 
rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Galatians 1:8-9). Every 
alternative gospel is a lie that leads to conscious, eternal torment in 
the lake of fire (2 Thessalonians 1:8-9; John 3:36; Revelation 14:9-11; 
Revelation 19:20; Revelation 20:10-15). If you refuse to believe Jesus 
is God, you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

Our offense against God was completely paid for when Christ died on the 
cross (Colossians 2:14), and God openly proved this by raising Him to 
life (Romans 1:4). Because of this sacrifice, God upholds His justice 
while granting us forgiveness (Romans 3:26) and safety from the wrath to 
come (1 Thessalonians 1:10). This rescue is a gift of pure grace for 
those who believe (Romans 6:23). Call on the Lord in faith to receive 
His salvation (Romans 10:9-13):
