27And as Jesus passed on from thence, two blind men followed him, crying, and saying: Have mercy on us, Son of David. 28And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him. And Jesus says to them: Believe ye that I am able to do this? They say to him: Yea, Lord. 29Then he touched their eyes, saying: According to your faith be it done to you. 30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly charged them, saying: Take heed, let no one know it. 31But they, going out, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
32And as they were going out, behold, they brought to him a man dumb, possessed with a demon. 33And the demon being cast out, the dumb spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying: It was never so seen in Israel. 34But the Pharisees said: He casts out the demons through the prince of the demons.
35And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity. 36And seeing the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were harassed, and scattered[36], as sheep having no shepherd. 37Then he says to his disciples: The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few. 38Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest.
X. And calling to him his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, so as to cast them out, and to heal every sickness and every infirmity.
2And the names of the twelve apostles are these; first Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother; 3Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus surnamed Thaddeus; 4Simon the Cananite[4], and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
5These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying: Go not into the way to the Gentiles, and into a city of Samaritans enter not. 6But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7And as ye go, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8Heal the sick, raise the dead[8], cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely ye received, freely give. 9Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in your girdles; 10nor bag for the journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor staff; for the laborer is worthy of his living. 11And into whatever city or village ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye go thence. 12But when ye come into the house, salute it. 13And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you. 14And whoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye go out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet. 15Verily I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.
16Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves; be therefore wise as serpents, and simple as doves. 17But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to councils, and will scourge you in their synagogues; 18and before governors also and kings will ye be brought for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
19But when they deliver you up, take not thought how or what ye shall speak; for it shall be given you in that hour what ye shall speak. 20For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father that speaks in you.
21And the brother will deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child; and children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death. 22And ye will be hated by all, for my name's sake; but he that has endured to the end, the same shall be saved.
23But when they persecute you in this city, flee into the other; for verily I say to you, ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man come.
