- 9:35And Jesus went about all the cities and the villages, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness.
- 9:36And seeing the crowds, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed and cast away like sheep not having a shepherd.
- 9:37Then He said to His disciples, The harvest is great, but the workers few;
- 9:38Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest that He would thrust out workers into His harvest.
- 10:1And He called His twelve disciples to Him and gave them authority over unclean spirits, so that they would cast them out and heal every disease and every sickness.
- 10:2And the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
- 10:3Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;
- 10:4Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
- 10:5These twelve Jesus sent forth, charging them, saying, Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into any city of the Samaritans.
- 10:6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
- 10:7And as you go, proclaim, saying, The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.
- 10:8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
- 10:9Do not acquire for yourselves gold nor silver nor copper for your belts;
- 10:10No bag for the journey nor two tunics nor sandals nor a staff; for the worker is worthy of his food.
- 10:11And into whatever city or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy; and there remain until you depart.
- 10:12And as you enter into the house, greet it.
- 10:13And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
- 10:14And whoever does not receive you nor hear your words, as you go out of that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.
- 10:15Truly I say to you, It will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.
