the blind men came to him: and Jesus said to them,
Believe ye that I am able to do this? They said unto him, Yes, Lord.
(29)Then he touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it
unto you. (30)And their eyes were opened; and Jesus strictly charged
them, saying, Take care that no person know it. (31)But they going
forth, blazoned his fame through all that country.

(32)And when they were coming out, behold, they brought unto him a man,
dumb, a demoniac. (33)And when the devil was cast out, the dumb man
spoke: and the multitudes marvelled, saying, Never at any time was the
like to this seen in Israel. (34)But the Pharisees said, By the prince
of the devils doth he cast the devils out.

(35)And Jesus took a circuit through all the cities and villages,
teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom,
and healing all manner of disease, and every malady among the people.
(36)And beholding the multitudes, he was moved with compassion for
them, because they were fainting, and lying here and there, as sheep
that had no shepherd. (37)Then said he to his disciples, The harvest
indeed is abundant, but the labourers are few; (38)entreat therefore
the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth workmen for his
harvest.

(5)These twelve did Jesus send forth, commanding them, saying, Go not
into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter
not: (6)but go rather to the sheep that are lost of the house of
Israel. (7)And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is
approaching. (8)Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast
out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. (9)Provide neither
gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses, (10)nor a scrip for the
journey, nor two coats, nor sandals, nor stick: for the workman is
worthy of his food. (11)And into whatsoever city or village ye enter,
enquire who in it is worthy; and there abide till ye dep
