Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum (9,35-10,1.6-8)
In illo tempore: Circumíbat Iésus civitátes omnes et castélla, docens in synagógis eórum et prǽdicans evangélium regni et curans omnem languórem et omnem infirmitátem. Et convocátis Duódecim discípulis suis, dedit illis potestátem spirítuum immundórum, ut eícerent eos et curárent omnem languórem et omnem infirmitátem. Sed pótius ite ad oves, quæ periérunt domus Israel.Eúntes autem prædicáte dicéntes: ‘Appropinquávit regnum cælórum.’ Infírmos curáte, mórtuos suscitáte, leprósos mundáte, dǽmones eícite; gratis accepístis, gratis date.
Jesus went about all the cities, and towns, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease, and every infirmity. And seeing the multitudes, he had compassion on them: because they were distressed, and lying like sheep that have no shepherd. Then he saith to his disciples, The harvest indeed is great, but the labourers are few. Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he send forth labourers into his harvest. And having called his twelve disciples together, he gave them power over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of diseases, and all manner of infirmities. And the names of the twelve apostles are these: The first, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the publican, and James the son of Alpheus, and Thaddeus, Simon the Cananean, and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. These twelve Jesus sent: commanding them, saying: Go ye not into the way of the Gentiles, and into the city of the Samaritans enter ye not. But go ye rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And going, preach, saying: The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out devils: freely have you received, freely give.
