And when hee had called vnto him his twelue disciples, he gaue them power against vncleane spirits, to cast them out, and to heale all maner of sickenesse, and all maner of disease.

Now the names of the twelue Apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, Iames the sonne of Zebedee, and Iohn his brother:

Philip, and Bartholomew, Thomas, and Matthew the Publicane, Iames the sonne of Alpheus, and Lebbeus, whose surname was Thaddeus:

Simon the Canaanite, and Iudas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.

These twelue Iesus sent foorth, and commanded them, saying, Goe not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not:

But goe rather to the lost sheepe of the house of Israel.

And as yee goe, preach, saying, The kingdome of heauen is at hand:

Heale the sicke, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out deuils: freely ye haue receiued, freely giue.

Prouide neither gold, nor siluer, nor brasse in your purses:

Nor scrippe for your iourney, neither two coats, neither shooes, nor yet staues: (for the workeman is worthy of his meat.)

And into whatsoeuer city or towne ye shall enter, inquire who in it is worthy, and there abide till yee goe thence.

And when ye come into an house, salute it.

And if the house be worthy, let your peace come vpon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace returne to you.

And whosoeuer shall not receiue you, nor heare your words: when yee depart out of that house, or city, shake off the dust of your feete.

Uerely I say vnto you, it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of iudgment, then for that citie.
