Matthew 10:1-7

The Twelve Apostles

1 1And 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 affliction.
2 2The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, 3who is called Peter, and 4Andrew his brother; 5James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and 6Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;[a]
4 Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles

5 7These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them, "Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of 8the Samaritans,
6 9but go rather to 10the lost sheep of 11the house of Israel.
7 And proclaim as you go, saying, 12'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'
