Matthew 10:1-8

Jesus Appoints the Twelve

^aAnd summoning His twelve disciples, Jesus gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to ^bheal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
2 ^aNow the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, ^bSimon, who is called Peter, and ^bAndrew his brother; and ^cJames the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 ^aPhilip and ¹Bartholomew; ^bThomas and ^cMatthew the tax collector; ^dJames the son of Alphaeus, and ^eThaddaeus; 4 Simon the ¹Zealot, and ^aJudas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

The Twelve Disciples Sent Out

5 ^aThese twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying, “Do not ¹go ²in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the ^bSamaritans; 6 but rather go to ^athe lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, ¹preach, saying, ‘^aThe kingdom of heaven ²is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
