1
Yeshua called his twelve talmidim and gave them authority to drive out unclean spirits and to heal every kind of disease and weakness.
2
These are the names of the twelve emissaries: First, Shim`on, called Kefa, and Andrew his brother, Ya`akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan his brother,
3
Philip and Bar-Talmai, T'oma and Mattityahu the tax-collector, Ya`akov Bar-Halfai and Taddai,
4
Shim`on the Zealot, and Y'hudah from K'riot, who betrayed him.
5
These twelve Yeshua sent out with the following instructions: "Don't go into the territory of the Goyim, and don't enter any town in Shomron,
6
but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Isra'el.
7
As you go, proclaim, `The Kingdom of Heaven is near,'
8
heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those afflicted with tzara'at, expel demons. You have received without paying, so give without asking payment.
9
Don't take money in your belts, no gold, no silver, no copper;
10
and for the trip don't take a pack, an extra shirt, shoes or a walking stick -- a worker should be given what he needs.
