Jesus Calls Twelve Apostles to Preach and Bless Others

Matthew chapter 10, Jesus calls his apostles and gives them their charge:

5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

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

 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

 9 Provide neither gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses,

 10 Nor scrip for your journey, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves: for the workman is worthy of his meat.

 11 And into whatsoever city or town ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence.
