Matthew 9: 35-10:8
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.” |
10:1 And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to cure every sickness and every infirmity. 10:2 Now the names of the twelve Apostles are these: the First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, 10:3 James of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, and James of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, 10:4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. 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.
