The 12 apostles find out they're the 12 apostles

Well, I'm sure by now most of you know about the rapidly growing tent village east of Capernaum. Those are the people who followed us from the bush and are now waiting to hear more. Their number grows day by day, as do suspicions. Rome, in fact, Zee informed me just this morning that some members of his ancient order have even traveled here. It would seem as if we were building an army master. Well, that's one way of looking at it, but the other way of looking at it is my way. In the right way you want to say yes Simon, those people are like those in all the regions,

they

are not an army yet,

they

do not need to be rescued and you are going to help me rescue them.

Different types of risk, you see, it is not sustainable for Me to do all the preaching, all the healing and ministering. I called you to Simon's house today and thank you Eden for hosting because our ministry will only grow and we want it to grow. Until the end of time there will be many more followers. And since those who are not here will all have roles and responsibilities, the majority will be student disciples, but I have chosen you twelve as my

apostles

. You are sending us an apostle, it is the same as a messenger, one who knows what Matthew means, that is why.

I ask you, you are my leaders and for this Mission that I have for you, it is best that you disperse and not concentrate in one place. I don't understand I'm going to go home to Nazareth for a while and while I'm there. I am sending them in all directions, two by two, specifically to our people, just in all directions, Rabbi, yes, but not to the Gentiles, not yet, that will come in time, but to the lost sheep of the House of Israel, just as Joshua led the 12 tribes. to take the Promised Land you will proclaim as you advance that the Kingdom of Heaven is near and while you are on this mission you will heal the sick and lame by anointing them with oil you will cast out demons you will CLICK why are they?

You all look at me like that. Could you repeat that one more time? I will send you two by two proclaiming as you go. The Kingdom of Heaven is near. Heal the sick. Expel the demons. How soon are we talking about? here's that word again, I'll get to that, Simon, hold on, heal the sick, cast out the demons while you're on this mission. I grant you this authority, one day you will have it all the time. It was a ceremony that I missed. This is all. I don't feel different I don't need you to feel anything to do great things with all due respect Rabbi We just started as students we are not qualified enough why would you need us for this job?

He needs us, he wants us, thank you, look, very good, John, if I needed religious leaders or qualified students for my ministry, I would not have chosen well. You get the point. Can we go back to the part about healing the sick? For a second, you will take. nothing for your trip except the staff nor bread nor bag nor money not even salome's food wear sandals and do not bring an extra tunic we cannot even bring a change of clothes even the wandering cynic philosophers carry a second tunic yes, they do and I I would like to distinguish you from the cynics, they also carry beggar bags for people to put gold and silver coins in and you will not do what you received without paying now give without paying any city or town you enter,

find

out who is worthy of it. and stay there until you leave and if someone doesn't welcome you or listen to your words, shake the dust off your feet as you leave that hometown, don't waste your time, you said, if someone doesn't listen to our words, what words exactly what are they? .

We're supposed to teach whatever you've heard from me. I only heard a sermon. Anyway, you are the best. Oh, how good, that message was not just for the thousands who were there, but for everyone who will hear it. now until the end of time how will they know you ask a question thank you for asking you will tell them and the places you will go are places I will be going soon so you are paving the way for my arrival and helping to ensure that more people are ready To hear the good news, the miracles that you will perform in the authority of God will test my ministry.

Suppose we hit a bad patch in several towns in a row, they reject us for maybe four days. How are we going to eat and if it gets this bad with John, listen carefully. You all don't fear Those Who Kill the Body but you can't kill Sora, so you're saying we might die. There will come a time when this will become much more difficult when persecution is an ever-present part of your ministry. When that time comes you will follow in my footsteps and know what it really means to give up your life. I have more to teach you about that in the meantime this trip won't reach that rabbi.

I'm worried that you said you're sending us two at a time. Yes, the women will stay here in Capernaum. They will help support the ministry financially. They will also minister to density outside the city walls. Zebedee will be responsible for his safety. Mateo has also selflessly donated the use of his previous one. home that will serve as the new place for them to stay. I still can't understand this. You want us to go out there. No defenses, no food, no shelter. Just go out to Strange Land. He said don't be afraid. Fear is not something you want. just stop Andrew, I'm going with Z, so maybe he's the most at risk of all of us, great, no matter what, trust everyone, calm down if you have a real question, ask them one at a time.

I have a question that was quick, more worrying. Actually, ah, I know I'm new, but Rabbi, I'd like to go back to what you were saying about not bringing food or clothing and trusting those we minister to to forgive me, but we can't trust everyone equally. I have developed some ideas for ways we can generate income to reliably sustain our ministry. I appreciate that Judas does it, but at least for this journey I want you to learn what it means to fully trust your heavenly father, as well as those around you and those you serve and for food like Santiago and for your life, Juan, this is what it means to follow and lead, master, even if it weren't for this trip, now would be a good time to assign someone to manage the few resources we have or whatever we do. bring back you have someone in mind I nominate Matthew he is obviously the most experienced of all of us and believe it or not I agree that it would be wise I'm sorry I don't feel comfortable dealing with money again I reject him formally simple no would have been fine, then no and nominate Judas, his experience will suit us better, uh, I accept that everything is done well, pairing Simon and Judas North with Caesarea Philippi Andrew and Philip East to Nevada Nathaniel within the South to Berea John and Thomas Southwest to Joppa Big James and little James, come on, I can turn it into something that humor disarms the people of the west to the plains of Sharon Matthew and, rabbi, what you are sure of is that something you know all the way to Jericho, I know you will be near Samaria.

Well, look, everyone's reacting to the idea of ​​you traveling with a tax collector. What we haven't told you about Matthew's previous occupation, he's a tax collector, he's no more of a tax collector than you, listen to me, none of you are what he was. remember that you will all see it and Matthew will be able to remember that better than anyone you two will do and say great things because of your past so that's it, you all have a lot to take in, take a day to handle what you have to handle. There will be some more details tomorrow.

Simon Reach Out on Friends.
