Jesus Sends His Apostles on a Mission(Mk. 3:13-19; 6:7-13; Lk. 6:12-16; 9:1-6)

¹Jesus called his twelve followers together. He gave them power over evil spirits and power to heal every kind of disease and sickness. ²These are the names of the twelve apostlesa:

Simon (also called Peter),
Andrew, the brother of Peter,
James, the son of Zebedee,
John, the brother of James,
³Philip,
Bartholomew,
Thomas,
Matthew, the tax collector,b
James, the son of Alphaeus,
Thaddaeus,
⁴Simon, the Zealotc,
Judas Iscariot (the one who handed Jesus over to his enemies).

⁵Jesus sent the twelve men out with these instructions: "Don't go to the non-Jewish people. And don't go into any town where the Samaritansd live. ⁶But go to the people of Israele. They are like sheep that are lost. ⁷When you go, tell them this: 'God's kingdomf is now very nearg.' ⁸Heal the sick. Bring the dead back to life. Heal the people who have leprosyh. And force demonsi out of people. I give you these powers freely, so help others freely. ⁹Don't carry any money with you - gold or silver or copper. ¹⁰Don't carry a bag. Take only the clothes and sandals you are wearing. And don't take a walking stick. A worker should be given what he needs.
¹¹"When you enter a city or town, find some worthy person there and stay in his home until you leave. ¹²When you enter that home, say, 'Peace be with you.' ¹³If the people in that home welcome you, they are worthy of your peace. May they have the peace you wished for them. But if they don't welcome you, they are not worthy of your peace. Take back the peace you wished for them. ¹⁴And if the people in a home or a town refuse to welcome you or listen to you, then leave that place and shake the dust off your feetj. ¹⁵I can assure you that on the judgment day it will be worse for that town than for the people of Sodomk and Gomorrahl.

Jesus Warns About Troubles(Mk. 13:9-13; Lk. 21:12-17) ¹⁶"Listen! I am sending you, and you will be like sheep among wolves. So be smart like snakes. But also be like doves and don't hurt anyone. ¹⁷Be careful! There are people who will arrest you and take you to be judged. They will whip you in their synagoguesm. ¹⁸You will be taken to stand before governors and kings. People will do this to you because you follow me. You will tell about me to those kings and governors and to the non-Jewish people. ¹⁹When you are arrested, don't worry about what to say or how you should say it. At that time you will be given the words to say. ²⁰It will not really be you speaking; the Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.
²¹"Brothers will turn against their own brothers and hand them over to be killed. Fathers will hand over their own children to be killed. Children will fight against their own parents and will have them killed. ²²Everyone will hate you because you follow me. But the one who remains faithful to the end will be saved. ²³When you are treated badly in one city, go to another city. I promise you that you will not finish going to all the cities of Israel before the Son of Mann comes again.
²⁴"Students are not better than their teacher. Servants are not better than their master. ²⁵Students should be happy to be treated the same as their teacher. And servants should be happy to be treated the same as their master. If those people call me 'the ruler of demons,' and I am the head of the family,o then it is even more certain that they will insult you, the members of the family!

Fear God, Not People(Lk. 12:2-7) ²⁶"So don't be afraid of those people. Everything that is hidden will be shown. Everything that is secret will be made known. ²⁷I tell you all this secretlyp, but I want you to tell it publiclyq. Whatever I tell you privatelyr, you should shout for everyone to hears.
²⁸"Don't be afraid of people. They can kill the body, but they cannot kill the soul. The only one you should fear is God, the one who can send the body and the soul to be destroyed in hell. ²⁹When birds are sold, two small birds cost only a penny. But not even one of those little birds can die without your Father knowing it. ³⁰God even knows how many hairs are on your head. ³¹So don't be afraid. You are worth more than a whole flock of birds.

Don’t Be Ashamed of Your Faith(Lk. 12:8-9) ³²"If you stand before others and are willing to say you believe in me, then I will tell my Father in heaven that you belong to me. ³³But if you stand before others and say you do not believe in me, then I will tell my Father in heaven that you do not belong to me.

Following Jesus May Bring You Trouble(Lk. 12:51-53; 14:26-27) ³⁴"Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace. I came to bring troublet. ³⁵I have come to make this happen:

'A son will turn against his father.
A daughter will turn against her mother.
A daughter-in-law will turn against her mother-in-law.
³⁶Even members of your own family will be your enemies.'u

³⁷"Those who love their father or mother more than they love me are not worthy of me. And those who love their son or daughter more than they love me are not worthy of me. ³⁸Those who will not accept the crossv that is given to them when they follow me are not worthy of me. ³⁹Those who try to keep the life they have will lose it. But those who give up their life for me will find true life.

God Will Bless Those Who Welcome You(Mk. 9:41) ⁴⁰"Whoever accepts you also accepts me. And whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me. ⁴¹Whoever accepts a prophetw because he is a prophet will get the same reward a prophet gets. And whoever accepts a godly person just because that person is godly will get the same reward a godly person gets. ⁴²Whoever helps any of these little ones because they are my followers will definitely get a reward, even if they only give them a cup of cold water."

^aapostle A follower of Jesus chosen to represent him in a special way. During his earthly ministry, Jesus named twelve men as apostles. They had the specific responsibility and authority to represent him and proclaim his message throughout the world. Later, he appeared to Paul and gave him a similar commission, especially to non-Jewish people. Barnabas, Paul’s missionary companion, and James, the brother of Jesus, are also called apostles, as well as several others in the New Testament. Some of these occurrences of the word, however, have the more general sense of “messenger” or “representative.”
^btax collector A Jew hired by the Romans to collect taxes. Tax collectors often cheated, and the other Jews hated them.
^cZealot A term used to describe Jews who had an enthusiastic desire or “zeal” to maintain the purity of Judaism - the land, the Temple, observance of the law and the traditions. This desire included a willingness to do whatever necessary to protect this purity against any outside threat, such as Roman control. This kind of spirit eventually brought about the formation of a group of Jewish patriots known as the Zealots. (Note that in Mt. 10:4 and Mk. 3:18 “Zealot” is used to translate the Aramaic term, “Cananaean,” which had the same meaning.)
^dSamaritans During New Testament times, the people who lived in Samaria, the region north of Judea. They were part Jewish and followed the Law of Moses, but the Jews of Judea did not accept them as pure descendants of Israel.
^eIsrael Another name for Jacob (see Gen. 32:24-28) and for the nation God chose to accomplish his plan of blessing the world through the Messiah (see “Messiah”). The people of Israel were the descendants of Jacob’s twelve sons. In the New Testament this name is sometimes used in a broader sense to mean all of God’s people.
^fGod’s kingdom The “reign” or “rule” of God over all people who submit to him by accepting Jesus as the Messiah (the appointed king), who represents God’s kingdom on earth. Jesus was the perfect example of submission to the will of God. When people give control of their lives to Jesus, they become part of God’s kingdom and begin to enjoy the blessings he has promised his people from the beginning. (Note that in Matthew this term also translates the Greek word “kingdom” by itself or the phrase, “the kingdom of the heavens,” which was used by Jews as a way to avoid saying the divine name.)
^g10:7 is now very near Or “is coming soon” or “has come.”
^hleprosy A very bad skin disease. The word in the text has a broad sense, which may include many different types of skin disease.
ⁱdemon An evil spirit from the devil.
^j10:14 shake the dust off your feet A warning. It would show that they were finished talking to these people.
^kSodom A city that God destroyed, together with the city of Gomorrah, because the people living there were so evil. See Gen. 19.
^lGomorrah A city that God destroyed, together with the city of Sodom, because the people living there were so evil. See Gen. 19.
^msynagogue A place in many cities where Jews gathered for prayer, study of the Scriptures, and other public meetings.
ⁿSon of Man The name that Jesus most often used for himself. The phrase in Hebrew or Aramaic means “human being” or “mankind,” but in Dan. 7:13-14 it is used of a future savior and king, and this was later understood to be the Messiah, the one God would send to save his people.
^o10:25 call me … family Literally, “call the head of the household Beelzebul.” See verse 9:34.
^p10:27 secretly Literally, “in the dark.”
^q10:27 publicly Literally, “in the light.”
^r10:27 privately Literally, “in the ear.”
^s10:27 for everyone to hear Literally, “on the housetops.”
^t10:34 trouble Literally, “a sword.”
^uMicah 7:6
^vcross The wooden post that Romans used to execute criminals. It is a symbol of shame, suffering and death. Just as Jesus was willing to suffer death on a cross for all people, so he asks his followers to be willing to give up their lives for him.
^wprophet A person who speaks a message from God. Many of the books in the Old Testament are messages spoken or written by “the prophets,” who were some of those God chose to speak for him. God often used dreams or visions to tell or show his prophets what they should say.
