¹ He said, "Go away; for the girl is not dead, but is sleeping." And they laughed and jeered at Him.

² But when the crowd had been sent outside, Jesus went in and took her by the hand, and the girl got up.

³ And the news about this spread throughout all that district.

⁴ As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, screaming loudly, "Have mercy and compassion on us,[3] Son of David (Messiah)!"

⁵ When He went into the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe [with a deep, abiding trust] that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

⁶ Then He touched their eyes, saying, "According to your faith [your trust and confidence in My power and My ability to heal] it will be done to you."

⁷ And their eyes were opened. And Jesus[4] sternly warned them: "See that no one knows this!"

⁸ But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout that whole district.

⁹ While they were going away, a mute, demon-possessed man was brought to Jesus.

¹⁰ And when the demon was driven out [by Jesus], the mute man spoke; and the crowds wondered in amazement, saying, "Never before has anything like this [miracle] been seen in Israel."

¹¹ But the Pharisees were saying, "He casts out the demons by [the power of] the ruler of demons."

¹² Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages [in Galilee], teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the good news (gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness [His words and His works reflecting His Messiahship].

¹³ When He saw the crowds, He was moved with compassion and pity for them, because they were dispirited and distressed, like sheep without a shepherd.

¹⁴ Then He said to His disciples, "The harvest is [indeed] plentiful, but the workers are few.

¹⁵ So pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."

¹⁶ Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority and power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.

¹⁷ Now these are the names of the twelve[1] apostles (special messengers, personally chosen representatives): first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother;[2] James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;

¹⁸ Philip and Bartholomew (Nathanael); Thomas and Matthew (Levi) the tax collector;[3] James the son of[4] Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus (Judas, not Iscariot);

¹⁹ Simon the Cananaean (Zealot), and Judas Iscariot, the one who betrayed Him.

²⁰ Jesus sent out these twelve, instructing them: "Do not go among the Gentiles, and do not go into a city of the Samaritans;

²¹ but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

²² And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

²³ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
