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 everya disease and everyb sickness. 2Now these are the names of the twelve apostles: first Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, Jamesc 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.

5Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them saying, “Do not go on the road to the Gentiles, and do not enter into a city of the Samaritans, 6but go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as you* are going, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near!’ 8Heal those who are sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, expel demons. Freely you have received; freely give. 9Do not procure gold or silver or copper for your belts. 10Do not take a traveler’s bag for the road, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff, for the worker is deserving of his provisions.
