Now the names of the twelve
| Apostles were these: first, Simon
called Peter, and his brother Andrew;
James the son of zabdi, and his
brother John; Philip and Bartholo-
NEW, Thomas and Matthew the tax
gatherer, James the son of Alphaeus,
and Judas the Iscariot, who also
betrayed Him.
Their Mission to the People
These twelve Jesus sent on a
mission, after giving them their
Instructions:
Gentiles, and enter no Samaritan
town; but, instead of that, go to the
lost sheep of Israers race. And as
you go, preach and say, The Kingdom
of the Heavens is close at hand Cure
the sick, raise the<dead to life, cleanse
received without payment, give
without payment.
Their Food promised
"Provide no gold, nor even silver
nor copper to carry in your pockets;
no bag for your journey, nor change
of linen, nor shoes, nor stick; for the
labourer deserves his food.
Where to lodge
whatever town or village you
enter, inquire ter some good mani and
make his house your home till you
leave the place. When you enter the
house, salute it; and if the house
deserves it, the peace you invoke shall
come upon it. If not, your peace shall
return to you. And whoever refuses
to receive you or even to listen to
your Message, as you leave that house
or town, shake off the very dust
from your feet. I solemnly tell you
that it Willie more endurable for the
land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the
day of Judgment than for that town.
Persecution foretoId
Remember it is who am sending
you out, as sheep into the midst of
wolves; prove yourselves as sagaeious
as serpents, and as innocent as doves.
But beware of men; for they will
deliver you up to appear before
Sanhedrins, and will fog you in their
synagogues; and you will even be put
on trial before governors and kings for
my sake, to bear witness to them and
to the Genti1es. But when they have
delivered you up, have no anxiety as
to how you shall speak or what you
shall say; foH at that very time it
shall be given you what to say; for 1t
is not you who will speak: it will be
the Spirit OF your Father speaking
through you. Brother will betray
brother to death, and father, child;
own parents and will put them to
death. And you will be objects of
universal hatred because you are
called by my name; but he who holds
out to the End-he will be saved.
Whenever they prosecute you in one
town, escape to the next; for I
solemnly tell you that you will not
hSVe gone the round of all the towns
of Israel before the Son of Man comes.
Like their Master they would
suffer
'@The learner is never superior to
hi nd he Ia
superior to his master. Enough for
the learner to be on a level with his
teacher, and for the servant to be on
a level with his master If they have
called the master of the house Baalze-
bul, how much more will they SANDER
his servants? Fear them not, however;
there is nothing yelled which will not
be uncovered, nor secret which will
not become known. What I tell you
in the dark, speak in the light; and
what is whispered into your ear,
proclaim upon the roofs of the houses.
No Need for Fear
"And do not fear those who kill the
body, but cannot kill the soul; but
rather fear him who is able to destroy
both soul and body in Gehenna. Do
not two sparrows sell for a falfpenny?
Yet not one of them will fall to the
ground without your Fathers leave.
But as for you, the very hairs on your
heads are all numbered. Away then
with fear; you are more precious than
multitude of sparrows.
The Necessity for open Ayowa1
Every man who acknowledges me
before men I also will acknowledge
before my Father who is in Heaven.
But whoever disowns me before men
also will disown before my Father
who is in Heaven
Conflict must precede Peace
DO not suppose that I came to
bring peace to the earth: did not
come to bring peace but sword. For
I came to set a man against his
