Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal
every kind of disease and illness. 2Here are the names of the twelve apostles:
first, Simon (also called Peter),
then Andrew (Peter’s brother),
James (son of Zebedee),
John (James’s brother),
3
Philip,
Bartholomew,
Thomas,
Matthew (the tax collector),
James (son of Alphaeus),
Thaddaeus,
4
Simon (the zealot),
Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him).
5
Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans, 6but only to the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep. 7Go and announce to them that the Kingdom
of Heaven is near. 8Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give
as freely as you have received!
9
“Don’t take any money in your money belts—no gold, silver, or even copper coins. 10Don’t carry a
traveler’s bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept
hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed.
11
“Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person and stay in his home until you
leave town. 12When you enter the home, give it your blessing. 13If it turns out to be a worthy home, let
your blessing stand; if it is not, take back the blessing. 14If any household or town refuses to welcome
you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave. 15I tell you the truth, the
wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be better off than such a town on the judgment day.
16
“Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as
doves. 17But beware! For you will be handed over to the courts and will be flogged with whips in the
synagogues. 18You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are my followers. But this
will be your opportunity to tell the rulers and other unbelievers about me. 19When you are arrested,
don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time.
20
For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
21
“A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will
rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed. 22And all nations will hate you because you
are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved. 23When you are persecuted in
one town, flee to the next. I tell you the truth, the Son of Man will return before you have reached all
the towns of Israel.”
