Key verse: 7
NIV
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve(A)(B)(C)(D)(E)
10 Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits(F) and to heal every disease and sickness.(G)
2 These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; 3 Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; 4 Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him.(H)
5 These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.(I) 6 Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel.(J) 7 As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven(K) has come near.’ 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy,[a] drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.
9 “Do not get any gold or silver or copper to take with you in your belts(L)— 10 no bag for the journey or extra shirt or sandals or a staff, for the worker is worth his keep.(M)

1. Jesus calls the Twelve (1-4)
Jesus prayed for harvest workers, then he called the Twelve disciples. These were the men whom he would pray for and teach and train until they could grow to be shepherds and Bible teachers for the shepherdless people. They must grow until they could be disciple-makers. Memorize their names. Perhaps each one could be a shepherd for people like himself.
2. Jesus trains the Twelve (5-10)
Jesus gave them spiritual authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal (1). He limited what they were to take with them and where they were to go, because this was a training mission. He sent them only to the lost sheep of Israel--later he would send them to the whole world. He did not want them to depend on material things--they must depend on God alone. He told them to preach the good news, 'The kingdom of heaven is near,' and to share God's love freely with all who were in need.
Prayer: Lord, teach me to depend on your word and your Spirit, not on my own ability or on material things. Help me to preach your gospel and share your love.
One Word: Disciples must obey Jesus
