December 3, 2011, Gospel

9:35	And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.
9:36	Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.
9:37	Then he said to his disciples: “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.
9:38	Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest.”

10:5	Jesus sent these twelve, instructing them, saying: “Do not travel by the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into the city of the Samaritans,
10:6	but instead go to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.
10:7	And going forth, preach, saying: ‘For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.’
10:8	Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.
