Matthew 10:1-15 - The Twelve Commissioned And Sent Out

Matthew 10:1-15

1 And calling His twelve disciples, He gave them power over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and heal every disease, and every malady. 2 And these are the names of the apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus called Thaddeus; 4 Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, the one also having betrayed Him.

5 And Jesus sent out the twelve, commanding them, Go not in the way of the Gentiles, and enter not into a city of the Samaritans. 6 But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And going, preach, saying, That the kingdom of the heavens is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely you did receive, freely give. 9 Take not gold, nor silver, nor copper in your girdles; 10 nor valise for your journey, neither two coats, nor sandals, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food.

11 And into whatsoever city or village you may enter, investigate who in it is worthy; and there abide until you may go hence. 12 And going into a house, salute it. 13 And if the house may be worthy, let your peace come on it: but if it may be unworthy, let your peace return unto you. 14 And whosoever may not receive you, nor hear your words, going out from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. 15 Truly I say unto you, It will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city.

Mark 6:7-13

7 And He calls the twelve to Him, and began to send them out two by two; and He gave them authority over unclean spirits. 8 And He commanded them that they should take nothing for the way except staff only; no valise, no bread, no money in the girdle; 9 but having put on your sandals: and put not on two coats. 10 And He said to them, Into whatsoever house you may enter, there abide until you may go out from thence. 11 And whatsoever place may not receive you nor hear you, going forth thence, shake off the dust which is beneath your feet for a testimony unto them.

12 And having gone out they preached that they must repent; 13 and they cast out many demons; and anointed many sick with oil, and healed them.

Luke 9:1-6

1 And calling the twelve, He gave to them power and authority over all demons, and to heal diseases. 2 And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

3 And He said to them, Take nothing for the journey, neither staff, nor valise, nor bread, nor silver; nor to have two coats. 4 And into whatsoever house you may eaten there abide, and go out from thence. 5 And so many as may not receive you, going out from that city, knock off the dust of your feet for a testimony against them. 6 And going out, they continued to go through the villages, everywhere preaching the gospel, and healing.
