   no bag, no bread, and no money in their purse,   
   9 (Ac 12:8) but to wear sandals, and not put on two tunics.   
   10 He said to them, "Wherever you enter a house, remain there   
   until you depart from that place.   
   11 (Ne 5:13; Ac 18:6) And whoever will not receive you or hear you,   
   when you depart from there, shake the dust off your feet as a testimony   
   against them. Truly I say to you, it will be more tolerable   
   for Sodom and Gomorrah on the Day of Judgment than for that city."   
   12 (Mt 4:17; Eze 18:30) So they went out and preached that men should repent.   
   13 And they cast out many demons and anointed with oil many who were sick   
   and healed them.   
      
   [7] And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two   
   and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;   
   [8] And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save   
   a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in their purse:   
   [9] But be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.   
   [10] And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house,   
   there abide till ye depart from that place.   
   [11] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart   
   thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them.   
   Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in   
   the day of judgment, than for that city.   
   [12] And they went out, and preached that men should repent.   
   [13] And they cast out many devils, and anointed with oil many that were   
   sick, and healed them.   
      
   Matthew 10   
      
   The Mission of the Twelve Apostles   
   Mk 3:13-19; Lk 6:12-16   
      
   1 (Mk 3:13-15; 6:7-13) 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.   
   2 (Mt 4:18; 4:21) Now the names of the twelve apostles are these:   
   first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother;   
   James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;   
   3 (Mk 3:18; Ac 1:13; Mt 9:9) Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew,   
   the tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus; and Lebbaeus,   
   whose surname was Thaddaeus;   
   4 (Mt 26:14; Jn 13:2) Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot,   
   who also betrayed Him.   
      
   [1] And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power   
   against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of   
   sickness and all manner of disease.   
   [2] Now the names of the twelve apostles are these; The first, Simon, who is   
   called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his   
   brother;   
   [3] Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son   
   of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;   
   [4] Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.   
      
   The Commissioning of the Twelve Apostles   
   Mk 6:7-13; Lk 9:1-6   
   5 (Jn 4:9; 2Ki 17:24-41) 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 (Jer 50:6; Ps 119:176) But go rather to the lost sheep   
   of the house of Israel.   
   7 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) As you go, preach, saying,   
   'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'   
   8 (Ac 3:6) Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,   
   and cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.   
   9 (Lk 22:35) "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 (1Sa 25:6) 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 (Ac 13:51; Ne 5:13) 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 (Mt 12:36; 2Pe 2:9) 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.   
      
   [5] These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into   
   the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:   
   [6] But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.   
   [7] And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.   
   [8] Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils:   
   freely ye have received, freely give.   
   [9] Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,   
   [10] Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet   
   staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.   
   [11] And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is   
   worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.   
   [12] And when ye come into an house, salute it.   
   [13] And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be   
   not worthy, let your peace return to you.   
   [14] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye   
   depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.   
   [15] Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom   
   and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.   
      
   Coming Persecutions   
   Mk 13:9-13; Lk 21:12-17   
      
   16 (Lk 10:3; Ge 3:1) "Look, I am sending you out as sheep in the midst   
   of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.   
   17 (Mk 13:9; Mt 23:34; 5:22) But beware of men, for they will deliver you   
   up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.   
   18 (Mt 8:4) You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake,   
   for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.   
   19 (Ex 4:12; Mt 6:25) But when they deliver you up, take no thought of how   
   or what you will speak. For it will be given you at that time   
   what you will speak.   
   20 (Ac 4:8; 6:10) For it is not you who speak,   
   but the Spirit of your Father who speaks through you.   
   21 "The brother will deliver up the brother to death,   
   and the father the child. And the children will rise up   
   against their parents and cause them to be put to death.   
   22 (Mt 24:13; Mk 13:13; Mt 24:9) You will be hated by all men for My name's   
   sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.   
   23 (Mt 16:28; Ac 8:1) But when they persecute you in this city,   
   escape into another. For truly I say to you, you will not have gone   
   through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.   
   24 (Lk 6:40; Jn 13:16) "The disciple is not above his teacher,   
   nor the servant above his master.   
   25 (Mk 3:22; Mt 9:34) It is enough for the disciple that he be like   
   his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called   
   the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call   
   those of his household?   
      
   [16] Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye   
   therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.   
   [17] But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and   
   they will scourge you in their synagogues;   
   [18] And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a   
   testimony against them and the Gentiles.   
   [19] But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall   
   speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.   
   [20] For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which   
   speaketh in you.   
   [21] And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father   
   the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause   
   them to be put to death.
