Matthew 10:1-8

1Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority and power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

2Now these are the names of the twelve apostles (special messengers, personally chosen representatives): first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3Philip and Bartholomew (Nathanael); Thomas and Matthew (Levi) the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot);

4Simon the Cananaean (Zealot), and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

5Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them: “Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not go into a city of the Samaritans;

6but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7And as you go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’

8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
