Matthew 10:1-7 ▼

1 AND having called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease, and every malady.

2 Now these are the names of the twelve apostles; The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the tax-gatherer; James son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname is Thaddeus;

4 Simon the Cananite, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

5 These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter not:

6 but go rather to the sheep that are lost of the house of Israel.

7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is approaching.
