³⁵And Jesus was going around all the towns and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and healing every^m disease and everyⁿ sickness. ³⁶And when he^* saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were weary and dejected, like sheep that did not have a shepherd. ³⁷Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. ³⁸Therefore ask the Lord of the harvest that he send out workers into his harvest.”

The Twelve Commissioned and Sent Out

10And summoning his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they could expel them^* and could heal every^a disease and every^b sickness. ²Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James^c the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, ³Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, ⁴Simon the Zealot,^d and Judas Iscariot—the one who also betrayed him.

dLiterally “the Cananean,” but according to BDAG 507 s.v., this term has no relation at all to the geographical terms for Cana or Canaan, but is derived from the Aramaic term for “enthusiast, zealot” (see Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13)
