Jesus Sends Out the Twelve^(A)^(B)^(C)^(D)^(E)

10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits^(F) and to heal every disease and sickness.^(G)

²These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; ³Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; ⁴Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.^(H)

⁵These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.^(I) ⁶Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.^(J) ⁷As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven^(K) has come near.’ ⁸Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,^[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.

⁹“Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts^(L)— ¹⁰no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.^(M) ¹¹Whatever town or village you enter, search there for some worthy person and stay at their house until you leave. ¹²As you enter the home, give it your greeting.^(N) ¹³If the home is deserving, let your peace rest on it; if it is not, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet.^(O) ¹⁵Truly I tell you, it will be more bearable for Sodom and Gomorrah^(P) on the day of judgment^(Q) than for that town.^(R)

¹⁶“I am sending you out like sheep among wolves.^(S) Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves.^(T) ¹⁷Be on your guard; you will be handed over to the local councils^(U) and be flogged in the synagogues.^(V) ¹⁸On my account you will be brought before governors and kings^(W) as witnesses to them and to the Gentiles. ¹⁹But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it.^(X) At that time you will be given what to say, ²⁰for it will not be you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father^(Y) speaking through you.

²¹“Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rebel against their parents^(Z) and have them put to death.^(AA) ²²You will be hated by everyone because of me,^(AB) but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.^(AC) ²³When you are persecuted in one place, flee to another. Truly I tell you, you will not finish going through the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.^(AD)
