83. The Sending of the Twelve Apostles to Preach. Mt. 10:1–5; Mk. 6:7; Lk. 9:1–2

Then, having called and gathered to Himself His twelve disciples, the Lord gave them power and authority over unclean spirits and over all demons, to cast them out and to heal every disease and every infirmity, and began to send them out two by two, to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick.

And the names of the twelve Apostles are these: first Simon, called Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James son of Zebedee and John, his brother; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus and Lebbaeus, called Thaddaeus; Simon the Canaanite and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him.
