Matthew 10:1-8

1Summoning his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to drive them out and to heal every disease and sickness.

2These are the names of the twelve apostles: First, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

4Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5Jesus sent out these twelve after giving them instructions: “Don’t take the road that leads to the Gentiles, and don’t enter any Samaritan town.

6Instead, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

7As you go, proclaim, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’

8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those with leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
