Gospel                           Matthew 9.35 \u2013 10.8 <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew   <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/em>All    Glory to you, O Lord<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n

 <\/strong>Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and curing every disease and every sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, \u2018The harvest is plentiful, but the labourers are few; therefore, ask the Lord of the harvest to send out labourers into his harvest.\u2019<\/p>\n

Then Jesus summoned his twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to cure every disease and every sickness. These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, also known as Peter, and his brother Andrew; James son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax-collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed him.<\/p>\n

These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: \u2018Go nowhere among the Gentiles, and enter no town of the Samaritans, but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim the good news, \u201cThe kingdom of heaven has come near\u201d Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is the Gospel of the Lord                       <\/em><\/p>\n
