3 Philip, and Bartholomew; Thomas, and Matthew the peolican; James the fon of Aipheus, and Lebbeus, whofe furname was Thaddeus;

4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Ifcariot, who also betrayed him.

6 But go rather to the loft sheep of the house of Ifrael.

7 And, as yego, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Healthe fick, cleanfe the lepers, raise the dead, caft out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

12 And when ye come into an house, nalute it.

13 And if the house be worthy, let your peace come upon it: but if it be not worthy, let your peace return to you.

14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that ho ufe or city shake off the duft of your feet.

15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment than for that city.

17 But beware of men; for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their fynagogues:
