for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without
a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant
but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send
out laborers for his harvest." Then he summoned his twelve disciples
and gave them authority over unclean spirits to drive them out and
to cure every disease and every illness.
Then
Jesus approached and said to them, "All power in heaven and on
earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all
nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded
you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
For
this reason I left you in Crete so that you might set right what remains
to be done and appoint presbyters in every town, as I directed you...
