Jesus Has Pity for the People
Jesus went around visiting all towns and villages. He taught in the synagogues, preached the Good News about the Kingdom, and healed people with every kind of disease and sickness. As he saw the crowds, his heart was filled with pity for them, because they were worried and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. So he said to his disciples, "The harvest is large, but there are few workers to gather it in. Pray to the owner of the harvest that he will send out workers to gather in his harvest."
The Mission of the Twelve Apostles
Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and every sickness.
These twelve men were sent out by Jesus with the following instructions: "Do not go to any Gentile territory or any Samaritan towns. Instead, you are to go to the lost sheep of the people of Israel. Go and preach, 'The Kingdom of heaven is near!' Heal the sick, bring the dead back to live, heal those who suffer from dreaded skin diseases, and drive out demons. You have received without paying, so give without being paid."
- Matthew 9:35-10:1, 5-8
