In Matthew chapter 10, Jesus calls his twelve disciples and gives them authority to heal the sick, cast out demons, and preach the message of the kingdom of heaven. He sends them out with specific instructions to go to the lost sheep of Israel and not to the Gentiles or Samaritans.
Jesus warns the disciples that they will face challenges and persecution, but encourages them to stay strong and rely on the Spirit for guidance. He emphasizes the importance of following him above all else, even if it means facing opposition from their own families. Jesus reassures them that God cares for them deeply and encourages them to fear God rather than earthly threats.
The chapter concludes with Jesus teaching about the rewards of welcoming his disciples and the importance of caring for others in even the smallest ways. He emphasizes the idea of self-sacrifice and the rewards that come from following him faithfully.
