Matthew 10: 1-7 - 'Go to the lost sheep of the House of Israel.'
Catechism of the Catholic Church Paragraphs:
- 543 (In 'The Proclamation of the Kingdom of God') - Everyone is called to enter the kingdom. First announced to the children of Israel, this messianic kingdom is intended to accept men of all nations. To enter it, one must first accept Jesus' word: The word of the Lord is compared to a seed which is sown in a field; those who hear it with faith and are numbered among the little flock of Christ have truly received the kingdom. Then, by its own power, the seed sprouts and grows until the harvest.

| 0:00.0 | Hi everyone. Thanks once again for tuning into logical Bible study. This is the Catholic |
| 0:17.3 | podcast where we look at the gospel reading from today's Mass. And the aim is to try to help you understand the literal sense of these words that you'll hear in the gospel in today's Mass. |
| 0:27.8 | So we use the best academic resources we can to help you really understand the meaning of the text. |
| 0:34.8 | Today we're going to look at the start of Matthew chapter 10. |
| 0:37.7 | So Matthew 10 verses 1 to 8. |
| 0:41.4 | So as always, I'll read the passage and then we'll have a go at doing an exegesis of this text. |
| 0:49.9 | He summoned his 12 disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits with power to cast them out |
| 0:56.9 | and to cure all kinds of diseases and sickness. These are the names of the 12 apostles. |
| 1:05.9 | First, Simon who is called Peter and his brother Andrew, James the son of Zebedee and his brother John, |
| 1:14.0 | Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew the tax collector, James the son of Alpheus, |
| 1:21.4 | and Thaddeus, Simon the zealot and Judas Ascariot, the one who was to betray him. |
| 1:29.3 | These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them as follows, |
| 1:33.8 | Do not turn your steps to pagan territory, and do not enter any Samaritan town. |
| 1:40.0 | Go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. |
| 1:43.5 | And as you go, proclaim that the kingdom of |
| 1:45.6 | heaven is close at hand. Now let's start by looking at the context. And the context here is really |
| 1:51.0 | important. The last thing Jesus has said to his disciples is the harvest is rich, but the laborers |
| 1:58.4 | a few. Pray that the Lord will send more workers into the harvest. |
| 2:04.3 | And so what we're about to see here is largely Jesus' remedy for the fact that there aren't |
| 2:09.0 | enough workers for the harvest. So now we get to chapter 10, verse 1. He summoned his 12 |
| 2:16.6 | disciples. Because the chapter |
| 2:18.8 | divisions weren't in the original, we sometimes forget that Matthew would have intended |
