The Mission of the Twelve

And he called to him his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every infirmity.

The Mission of the Twelve

no bag for your journey, nor two tunics, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the laborer deserves his food.

The Mission of the Twelve

And whatever town or village you enter, find out who is worthy in it, and stay with him until you depart.

The Mission of the Twelve

As you enter the house, salute it.

The Mission of the Twelve

And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.

The Mission of the Twelve

And if any one will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town.

The Mission of the Twelve

Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgment for the land of Sodom and Gomor'rah than for that town.

Coming Persecutions

"Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.

Coming Persecutions

Beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and flog you in their synagogues,

Coming Persecutions

and you will be dragged before governors and kings for my sake, to bear testimony before them and the Gentiles.

Coming Persecutions

When they deliver you up, do not be anxious how you are to speak or what you are to say; for what you are to say will be given to you in that hour;

The Mission of the Twelve

The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zeb'edee, and John his brother;

Coming Persecutions

for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.

Coming Persecutions

Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child, and children will rise against parents and have them put to death;

Coming Persecutions

and you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved.

Coming Persecutions

When they persecute you in one town, flee to the next; for truly, I say to you, you will not have gone through all the towns of Israel, before the Son of man comes.

Coming Persecutions

"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master;

Coming Persecutions

it is enough for the disciple to be like his teacher, and the servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Be-el'zebul, how much more will they malign those of his household.

Whom to Fear

"So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

Whom to Fear

What I tell you in the dark, utter in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim upon the housetops.

Whom to Fear

And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Whom to Fear

Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's will.

The Mission of the Twelve

Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphae'us, and Thaddae'us;

Whom to Fear

But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.

Whom to Fear

Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

Whom to Fear

So every one who acknowledges me before men, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven;

Whom to Fear

but whoever denies me before men, I also will deny before my Father who is in heaven.

Not Peace, but a Sword

"Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword.

Not Peace, but a Sword

For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;

Not Peace, but a Sword

and a man's foes will be those of his own household.

Not Peace, but a Sword

He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me;

Not Peace, but a Sword

and he who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

Not Peace, but a Sword

He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for my sake will find it.

The Mission of the Twelve

Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Rewards

"He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

Rewards

He who receives a prophet because he is a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward, and he who receives a righteous man because he is a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.

Rewards

And whoever gives to one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he shall not lose his reward."

The Mission of the Twelve

These twelve Jesus sent out, charging them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans,

The Mission of the Twelve

but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

The Mission of the Twelve

And preach as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

The Mission of the Twelve

Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You received without paying, give without pay.

The Mission of the Twelve

Take no gold, nor silver, nor copper in your belts,
