0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible recap. |
0:13.1 | Not long ago, Jesus chose 12 of his many disciples to be in his inner circle. |
0:18.1 | Eventually, scripture starts referring to these 12 as apostles and distinguishes them |

1:08.8 | He gives them a few specific instructions as they set out. |
1:12.2 | Instruction number one, he gives them directions. |
1:14.5 | He tells them to only go to the Jews, not the Gentiles, or even the Samaritans who are |
