The Mission of the Twelve Apostles^(A)

10 He called His twelve disciples to Him and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.

The Commissioning of the Twelve Apostles^(A)

⁵ These twelve Jesus sent out, and commanded them, saying, “Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans. ⁶ But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. ⁷ As you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ ⁸ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.

⁹ “Provide neither gold nor silver nor copper for your purses, ¹⁰ nor bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor shoes, nor even staffs. For the workman is worthy of his keep.

¹¹ “In whatever city or town you enter, inquire in it who is worthy. And live there until you leave. ¹² When you come into a house, greet it. ¹³ If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. ¹⁴ Whoever will not receive you, nor hear your words, when you depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. ¹⁵ Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the Day of Judgment than for that town.

9 Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases. ² And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. ³ He said to them, “Take nothing for your journey: no staff, no bag, no bread, no money. And do not take two tunics apiece. ⁴ Whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. ⁵ Whoever will not receive you, when you go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet as a testimony against them.” ⁶ So they departed and went through the towns, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere.
