耶穌差這十二個人去、吩咐他們說、外邦人的路、你們不要走．撒瑪利亞人的城、你們不要進．寧可往以色列家迷失的羊那裡去。隨走隨傳、說、天國近了。醫治病人、叫死人復活、叫長大痳瘋的潔淨、把鬼趕出去．你們白白的得來、也要白白的捨去。

耶穌走遍各城各鄉、在會堂裡教訓人、宣講天國的福音、又醫治各樣的病症。他看見許多的人、就憐憫他們．因為他們困苦流離、如同羊沒有牧人一般。於是對門徒說、要收的莊稼多、作工的人少．所以你們當求莊稼的主、打發工人出去、收他的莊稼。

These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: "Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: 'The kingdom of heaven is near.' Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. 

Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.
Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field."
