35 Jesus went
about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and
proclaiming the good news of the kingdom and curing every disease
and every sickness. 36 When he saw
the crowds, he had
compassion for them because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a
shepherd. 37 Then he said
to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but
the laborers are few; 38 therefore ask
the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his
harvest.”
10:1 Then Jesus
summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean
spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every
sickness. 2 These are the
names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter,
and his brother Andrew; James son
of Zebedee and his brother John; 3 Philip and
Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax
collector; James son
of Alphaeus and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Cananaean and Judas
Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.
5 These twelve
Jesus sent out with the following
instructions: “Do not take a road leading to
gentiles, and do not enter a Samaritan town, 6 but
go rather to the lost sheep of the
house of Israel. 7 As you
go, proclaim the good
news, ‘The kingdom of heaven has come
near.’ 8 Cure the
sick; raise the dead; cleanse those with a skin disease; cast out
demons. You received without payment; give without
payment.
