Context of Matthew 10:3
1One day, Jesus asked his 12 disciples to come to him. He gave them authority over bad spirits so that they could send the spirits out of people. They could also make sick people well again from every kind of illness. 2These are the names of the 12 apostles: The first apostle is Simon, who was also called Peter. Then Simon's brother, who was called Andrew. Also James and his brother John, who were Zebedee's sons. There were Philip and Bartholomew. There were Thomas and Matthew. (Matthew's job was to take taxes from people.) And James who was the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus. 4There was also Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who later gave Jesus to his enemies. 5Jesus sent out these 12 disciples. Before they left, he said to them, ‘Do not go to any place where the people are Gentiles. And do not go to towns where only Samaritans live.
