Where did this man get this wisdom from and these miracles...What's this wisdom that's been given him, that even miracles are
performed by his hands...Isn't this the carpenter?...Isn't this the carpenters son and his mother, the woman called Mary and his
brothers; James, Joseph, Simon and Jude? His sisters also, aren't they all here with us?
NARRATOR.
But Jesus said to them:
JESUS.
Only in his own country, among his relatives and in his own house is a prophet not honored.
NARRATOR.
He did not work many miracles there because of their lack of faith, although he did heal a few sick people by laying his hands on
them. He was amazed at their lack of faith and made a tour round the villages and taught.
Matthew 13:...53-58; Mark 6:1-6

NARRATOR.
He then summoned the twelve to him and began to send them out in pairs, giving them power and authority to cure all kinds of
diseases and over demons. These twelve Jesus sent out and instructed them:
JESUS.
Do not turn your steps into pagan territory and do not enter any Samaritan city, but rather go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.
As you go, proclaim that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons.
Freely you have received, freely give.
Don't take anything for your journey except a staff and the sandals you wear. No leather pouch for food, no bread or money; no gold
or silver, not even a few coppers for your purses. Don't carry spare sandals, staves or an extra tunic, because the workman is deserving
of his keep.
Whatever city or village you go into, ask for someone who is deserving and stay there until you go and leave from that place.
Whatever house you go into, stay there and from there, leave. As you enter his house; embrace it and if the house deserves it, let your
peace descend upon it. If it does not deserve it, let your peace return to you. If anyone does not listen to what you have to say, as your
leave from that house or town, shake the dust from under your feet as a testimony against them. I tell you most sincerely, it will be
more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah than it will be for that town. Remember, I am sending you out like sheep in the midst of
wolves. Therefore, be cunning as serpents and yet as harmless as doves.
Matthew 10:1,5-16; Mark 6:7-11; Luke 9:1-5

The Disciples Instructions
Home | Table of Contents | Index | Chronological Listing
JESUS.
Beware of men; for they will hand you over to Sanhedrins and they will scourge you in their synagogues. You will be dragged before
governors and kings for my sake to bear witness before them and the pagans. But when they hand you over, don't think about how or
what you will say. For what to say will be given you in that same hour. Because it is not you who will speak, but the Spirit of your
Father which speaks in you.
Brother will betray brother to death and the father, his child. Children will rise against their parents and cause them to be put to death.
You will be hated by all men on account of my name, but the man who has endured to the end, will be saved. When they persecute
you in one town, flee into another. For truly I say to you, you will not have gone the round of the towns of Israel before the Son of
Man comes.
The disciple is not superior to his teacher nor the slave to his master. It's enough that the disciple should be like his teacher and the
slave his master. If they have called the master of the house, Beelzebub, how much more will they call the members of his household.
Therefore, don't be afraid of them. For there's nothing that's covered, that will not be uncovered. Or hidden, that will not be made
