Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
Matt 10:2

Now the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

Matt 10:5
&
These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in {the} way of {the} Gentiles, and do not enter {any} city of the Samaritans;
Matt 10:6
&
but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Matt 10:7

Matt 10:9
&

Matt 10:11
&
~"And whatever city or village you enter, inquire who is worthy in it, and stay at his house until you leave {that city.}

Matt 10:24
&
"A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a slave above his master.
Matt 10:25
