3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James the [son] of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, who was surnamed Thaddaeus; 4Simon the Cananaean, and Judas the Iscariote, who also delivered him up.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded - To be properly qualified for a minister of Christ, a man must be, filled with the spirit of holiness; called to this particular work; instructed in its nature, etc.; and, commissioned to go forth, and testify the Gospel of the grace of God.

God would reach Gentiles (non-Jewish people) through the Jews (Isaiah 2:2–4; 42:6–7; 49:6; 60:3). Jews saw Samaritans as impure Jews (Luke 17:18) because they married gentiles during and after the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles (2 Kings 17:24–41).
