SUB TOPIC A. MISSION OF THE TWELVE: MATT. 10:1-15; MK. 6; 7- 13.

The mission of the disciples was part of Jesus’ preparation of His followers for full evangelical activities. They had worked with Him for some time, and at this stage, He sent them out on their own for brief practice,as part of the training for the ministerial task ahead.

After Jesus had taught His disciples both privately and publicly, He decided to send them out to practicalise what they had learnt. The followings were the instructions given to the twelve disciples:

  1. They were charged to preach that the kingdom of God is at hand.
  2. They were given authority to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the leperand cast out unclean spirits.
  3. They were directed to go only to the lost sheep of Israel and not the Gentiles or Samaritans. They were grouped two by two.
  4. They were instructed to take no money, no belts, no bag, no staff, no two tunics, no scandals, no bread or food, for a labourer deserves food. Note instructions given.
  5. They received healing powers freely, therefore they should give without payment.
  6. They should saluate every house with peace. If the house is worthy, their peace would abide with it, but if unworthy their peace would return to them.
  7. If any body or town would not recieve them or their words, they should shake off the dust of the place from their scandals and go, as they leave the house or town, this will stand in jugdment against such people.

SUB TOPIC B: MISSION OF THE SEVENTY: LK. 10: 1-20.

The instructions given to the seventy were similar to those of the twelve sent earlier. Jesus sent the seventy ahead of him, they were sent two by two into every town and place He Himself was about to come.
