3. Matthew 9:37–10:8
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is abundant but the
laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers
for his harvest.”
Then he summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over
unclean spirits to drive them out and to cure every disease and every
illness. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon
called Peter, and his brother Andrew; James, the son of Zebedee, and
his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the
tax collector; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddeus; Simon the
Cananean, and Judas Iscariot who betrayed him.
Jesus sent out these twelve after instructing them thus, “Do not go
into pagan territory or enter a Samaritan town. Go rather to the lost
sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, make this proclamation: ‘The
kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse
lepers, drive out demons. Without cost you have received; without
cost you are to give.
