Matthew 10
1
He 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.
2
Now 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;
3
Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
4
Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5
Jesus sent these twelve out and commanded them, saying, “Don’\+w t|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w go|strong="G1525"\+w* \+w among|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Gentiles|strong="G1484"\+w*, \+w and|strong="G2532"\+w* don’\+w t|strong="G3588"\+w* \+w enter|strong="G1525"\+w* \+w into|strong="G1519"\+w* \+w any|strong="G3361"\+w* \+w city|strong="G4172"\+w* \+w of|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w the|strong="G2532"\+w* \+w Samaritans|strong="G4541"\+w*.
