The Twelve Apostles

1 And awhen He had called His twelve disciples to Him, He gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease.  
2 Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, awho is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;  
3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus, and Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thaddaeus;  
4 aSimon the1 Cananite, and Judas bIscariot, who also betrayed Him.  

Sending Out the Twelve

5 These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying: a“Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of bthe Samaritans.  
6 aBut go rather to the blost sheep of the house of Israel.  
7 aAnd as you go, preach, saying, b‘The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’  
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers,2 raise the dead, cast out demons. aFreely you have received, freely give.

Matthew 10:1

Matthew 10:1 The Call and Charge to the Apostles SUMMARY OF MATTHEW 10: The Twelve Apostles. The Charge. To Whom Sent. How to Go. What to Preach. How to Act If Received or Rejected. Persecution. Prudence Required. Trials to Be Met. Need Have No Care for a Defense. Fear Not Men, but God. The Father's Care. Not Peace, but a Sword. Loving Christ More Than Father or Mother. No Kind Act Lost. He had called unto [him] his twelve disciples. Compare Mark 3:13-19 Lu 9:1-6. The twelve had already been called, and had attended the Lord for some time. They were now commissioned and sent forth as apostles. This must be connected directly with the last three verses of the preceding chapter, which should belong to Chapter 10. He gave them power. To do the same kind of works of mercy which Jesus had done, and thus to carry out his mission. Works of mercy and love are inseparable from the true preaching of the gospel.
