Matthew 9:32-10:4
English Standard Version
Jesus Heals a Man Unable to Speak
32 As they were going away, behold, a (A)demon-oppressed man who was mute (B)was brought to him. 33 And when the demon had been cast out, the mute man spoke. And the crowds (C)marveled, saying, “Never was anything like this seen in Israel.” 34 But the Pharisees said, “He casts out demons by the prince of demons.”
The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few
35 (D)And Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36 (E)When he saw the crowds, (F)he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, (G)like sheep without a shepherd. 37 (H)Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; 38 therefore (I)pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to (J)send out laborers into his harvest.”
The Twelve Apostles
10 (K)And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every affliction. 2 (L)The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, (M)who is called Peter, and (N)Andrew his brother; (O)James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and (P)Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;[a] 4 Simon the Zealot,[b] and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
