### Sending Out the Twelve Apostles
**Title**:
**Principle**: Jesus calls us.
[[#Verse 01]] Jesus called his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits so they could cast them out and heal every kind of disease and sickness.Â
[[#Verse 02]]Â Now these are the names of the twelve apostles:Â first, Simon(called Peter), and Andrew his brother; James son of Zebedee and John his brother;Â
[[#Verse 03]] Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector;James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;Â
[[#Verse 04]] Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.
[[#Verse 05]] Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them as follows: âDo not go on a road that leads to Gentile regions and do not enter any Samaritan town.Â
[[#Verse 06]] Go instead to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.Â
[[#Verse 07]] As you go, preach this message: âThe kingdom of heaven is near!âÂ
[[#Verse 08]] Heal the sick, raise the dead,cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.Â
[[#Verse 09]] Do not take gold, silver, or copper in your belts,Â
[[#Verse 10]] no bag for the journey, or an extra tunic, or sandals or staff, for the worker deserves his provisions.Â
[[#Verse 11]] Whenever you enter a town or village, find out who is worthy there and stay with them until you leave.Â
[[#Verse 12]]Â As you enter the house, greet those within it.Â
[[#Verse 13]]Â And if the house is worthy, let your peace come on it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.Â
[[#Verse 14]] And if anyone will not welcome you or listen to your message, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that house or that town.Â
[[#Verse 15]] I tell you the truth, it will be more bearable for the region of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town!
### Persecution of Disciples
**Title**:
**Principle**: Expect Persecution- Keep Proper Perspective.
[[#Verse 16]] âI am sending you out like sheep surrounded by wolves, so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.Â
[[#Verse 17]] Beware of people, because they will hand you over to councils and flog you in their synagogues.Â
[[#Verse 18]] And you will be brought before governors and kings because of me, as a witness to them and to the Gentiles.Â
[[#Verse 19]] Whenever they hand you over for trial, do not worry about how to speak or what to say, for what you should say will be given to you at that time.Â
[[#Verse 20]]Â For it is not you speaking, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
[[#Verse 21]] âBrother will hand over brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rise against parents and have them put to death.Â
[[#Verse 22]]Â And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved!Â
[[#Verse 23]] Whenever they persecute you in one town, flee to another! I tell you the truth, you will not finish going through all the towns of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
[[#Verse 24]] âA disciple is not greater than his teacher, nor a slave greater than his master.Â
[[#Verse 25]] It is enough for the disciple to become like his teacher, and the slave like his master. If they have called the head of the house âBeelzebul,â how much worse will they call the members of his household!
### Fear God, Not Man
**Title**:
**Principle**: Fear only God. Anything you fear more than God, you worship.
[[#Verse 26]] âDo not be afraid of them, for nothing is hidden that will not be revealed, and nothing is secret that will not be made known.Â
[[#Verse 27]] What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light, and what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops.Â
[[#Verse 28]] Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Instead, fear the one who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
[[#Verse 29]] Arenât two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Fatherâs will.Â
[[#Verse 30]]Â Even all the hairs on your head are numbered.Â
[[#Verse 31]]Â So do not be afraid;Â you are more valuable than many sparrows.
[[#Verse 32]] âWhoever, then, acknowledges me before people, I will acknowledge before my Father in heaven.Â
[[#Verse 33]] But whoever denies me before people, I will deny him also before my Father in heaven.
### Not Peace, but a Sword
**Title**:
**Principle**: God does not let us stay on the fence. We must decide.
[[#Verse 34]] âDo not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword!Â
[[#Verse 35]] For I have come to set _a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,_Â
[[#Verse 36]]Â _and_Â _a manâs enemies will be the members of his household_.
[[#Verse 37]] âWhoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.Â
[[#Verse 38]] And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me.Â
[[#Verse 39]] Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life because of me will find it.
### Rewards
**Title**:
**Principle**: God sees. God Rewards.
[[#Verse 40]] âWhoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives the one who sent me.Â
[[#Verse 41]] Whoever receives a prophet in the name of a prophet will receive a prophetâs reward. Whoever receives a righteous person in the name of a righteous person will receive a righteous personâs reward.Â
[[#Verse 42]] And whoever gives only a cup of cold water to one of these little ones in the name of a disciple, I tell you the truth, he will never lose his reward.â
