[5] twelve  Jesus  sent forth,  and commanded  them,  saying,  Go  not  into  the way  of the Gentiles,  and  into  any city  of the Samaritans  enter ye  not:  [6] But  go  rather  to  the lost  sheep  of the house  of Israel.  [7] And  as ye go,  preach,  saying,  The kingdom  of heaven  is at hand.  [8] Heal  the sick,  cleanse  the lepers,  raise  the dead,  cast out  devils:  freely  ye have received,  freely  give.
