2. Matthew 9:35-36
And Jesus went throughout all the cities
and villages, teaching in their synagogues
and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom
and healing every disease and every
affliction. When he saw the crowds, he had
compassion for them, because they were
harassed and helpless, like sheep without a
shepherd.

3. Matthew 9:37-10:1
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest
is plentiful, but the laborers are few;
therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the
harvest to send out laborers into his
harvest.” And 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.

5. Matthew 10:5-8
These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing
them, “Go nowhere among the Gentiles
and enter no town of the Samaritans, but
go rather to the lost sheep of the house of
Israel. And proclaim as you go, saying, The
kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the
sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out
demons. You received without paying; give
without pay.

6. Matthew 10:9-12
Acquire no gold or silver or copper for your
belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics
or sandals or a staff, for the laborer
deserves his food. And whatever town or
village you enter, find out who is worthy in
it and stay there until you depart. As you
enter the house, greet it.

7. Matthew 10:13-15
And if the house is worthy, let your peace
come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let
your peace return to you. And if anyone
will not receive you or listen to your words,
shake off the dust from your feet when you
leave that house or town. Truly, I say to
you, it will be more bearable on the day of
judgment for the land of Sodom and
Gomorrah than for that town.
