As it is written in the prophet Isaiah, Here I send my messenger before your face to prepare the way for you:

Then he sent him off at once with the stern charge,

Then came his brothers and his mother, and standing outside they sent to call him;

And they begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country.

so the spirits begged him saying, "Send us into the swine, that we may enter them,"

And summoning the twelve he proceeded to send them out two by two; he gave them power over the unclean spirits,

For this Herod had sent and arrested John and bound him in prison on account of his marriage to Herodias the wife of his brother Philip;

so the king at once sent one of the guard with orders to bring his head. The man went and beheaded him in the prison,

send them off to the farms and villages round about to buy some food for themselves."

If I send them home without food they will faint on the road. Besides, some of them have come a long way."

(There were about four thousand of them.) Then he sent them away,

And Jesus sent him home, saying, "Do not go even into the village."

"Whoever receives one of these little ones in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives not me but him who sent me."

If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing that?' say, 'The Lord needs it,' and he will send it back immediately."

When the season came round he sent a servant to the vine dressers to collect from the vine dressers some of the produce of the vineyard,

but they took and flogged him and sent him off with nothing.

Once more he sent them another servant; him they knocked on the head and insulted.

He sent another, but they killed him. And so they treated many others; some they flogged and some they killed.

He had still one left, a beloved son; he sent him to them last, saying, 'They will respect my son.'

But they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to him for the purpose of catching him with a question.

while they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the miracles that endorsed it. (b) But they gave Peter and his companions a brief account of all these injunctions. And, after that, Jesus himself sent out by means of them from east to west the sacred and imperishable message of eternal salvation.
