Jesus Sends Forth His Apostles Unto Israel And The Nations

“[…] Remember, freely ye have received, so also freely give in turn. Accept no money for thy service, lest ye insult the Christ, who sent ye forth. Also provide neither gold, nor silver, nor precious metal in your own purse, nay, nor scrip for your travels, neither two coats, neither shoes, nor yet staves, for the workman is truly worthy of his food and shall be provided for wheresoever he goes.

And eat all that which is given unto you by strangers, but of that which is gotten by bloodshed, by the taking of life, touch nor eat not, for it is not lawful to you. Nor sit ye with them who eat such things, lest ye be counted unworthy by the law.

Be ye also wise as serpents and harmless as doves. Be ye always humane and innocent, and undefiled before God. The Son of Man is not come to destroy, but to save, nor has He come to take life of man or creature, but to give life to body and soul. For I tell ye truly, fear not them which can surely kill the body of flesh, the outer garment of man, but are not able to kill the soul; but rather fear him who is able to destroy both body and soul in Gehenna.

For the evil one seeks to destroy the Elect of God, even as Adam was sought after, so shall ye be sought after and tempted. Be ye not taken in by smooth talk or promises of glory, even as Adam was led astray and many prophets, for this one seeks only that ye be blotted out of the book of life; be on guard therefore, lest ye be fooled and transgress the Holy Law. Whosoever therefore shall confess the truth before men, them I will confess also before my Parent Who is in Heaven. But whosoever shall deny or pervert truth before men, them will I also openly deny before my Parent Who is in Heaven.

For verily I tell ye, they who take not their stake and follow me, are not worthy of me, for he that finds his life, shall lose it; and he that loses his life for my sake, shall surely find it again; for I come to conquer all death for all time, and I am the love, the life and the law of God. They who believe in me shall never know death at all, for death is the end for wicked men, but has no power over the righteous.”
