CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

Matthew 10

Jesus commissions the twelve apostles, gives them authority over unclean spirits and disease, and sends them initially to the lost sheep of Israel with the kingdom message. He prepares them for dependence, rejection, persecution, family division, costly allegiance, and the need to confess Him openly. He also promises that receiving His messengers and serving even the least disciple will not be forgotten.
