The Mission of the Twelve

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not take a road leading to gentiles, and do not enter a Samaritan town,^(A)

⁵² And he sent messengers ahead of him. On their way they entered a village of the Samaritans to prepare for his arrival,^(A)

⁵³ but they did not receive him because his face was set toward Jerusalem.

⁴⁸ The Jews answered him, “Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan and have a demon?”^(A)
