ut they,
going out, spread abroad his fame in all that country.
(32)And as they were going out, behold, they brought to him a man
dumb, possessed with a demon. (33)And the demon being cast out, the
dumb spoke. And the multitudes marveled, saying: It was never so seen
in Israel. (34)But the Pharisees said: He casts out the demons through
the prince of the demons.
(35)And 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. (36)And seeing the
multitudes, he was moved with compassion for them, because they were
harassed, and scattered[9:36], as sheep having no shepherd. (37)Then
he says to his disciples: The harvest indeed is great, but the
laborers are few. (38)Pray therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he
will send forth laborers into his harvest.

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.
(2)And 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; (3)Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the
publican; James the son of Alpheus, and Lebbeus surnamed Thaddeus;
(4)Simon the Cananite[10:4], and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed
him.
(5)These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying: Go not
into the way to the Gentiles, and into a city of Samaritans enter not.
(6)But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (7)And as
ye go, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. (8)Heal the
sick, raise the dead[10:8], cleanse lepers, cast out demons. Freely ye
received, freely give. (9)Provide not gold, nor silver, nor brass in
your girdles; (10)nor bag for the journey, nor two coats, nor sandals,
nor staff; for the laborer is worthy of his living. (11)And into
whatever city or village ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy;
and there abide till ye go thence. (12)But when ye come into the
house, salute it. (13)And if the house be worthy, let your peace come
upon it; but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.
(14)And 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. (15)Verily
I say to you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and
Gomorrah in the day of judgment
