Matthew 10:1–9
1He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.↗
2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;↗
3Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;↗
4Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.↗
5Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying,“Don’t go among the Gentiles, and don’t enter into any city of the Samaritans.↗
6Rather, go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.↗
7As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’↗
8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give.↗
9Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts.↗
