Gospel Matthew 9:35—10:1, 5a, 6-8

• 35And Jesus traveled throughout all of the cities and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every illness and every infirmity.

• 36Then, seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them, because they were distressed and were reclining, like sheep without a shepherd.

• 37Then he said to his disciples: “The harvest indeed is great, but the laborers are few.

• 38Therefore, petition the Lord of the harvest, so that he may sent out laborers to his harvest.”

• 10:1And having called together his twelve disciples, he gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out and to cure every sickness and every infirmity.

• Some verses are not read.

• 5Jesus sent these twelve, instructing them, saying: “Do not travel by the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter into the city of the Samaritans,

• 6but instead go to the sheep who have fallen away from the house of Israel.

• 7And going forth, preach, saying: ‘For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.’

• 8Cure the infirm, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons. You have received freely, so give freely.
