These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions:“ Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans.

Jesus sent these 12 out with the following orders.“ Do not go among the Gentiles,” he said.“ Do not enter any town of the Samaritans.

These twelve Jesus sent out, instructing them,“ Go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans,

Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions:“ Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans,

Jesus sent out these twelve after giving them instructions:“ Don’t take the road that leads to the Gentiles, and don’t enter any Samaritan town.

These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them, saying,“ Do not go on a road to Gentiles, and do not enter a city of Samaritans;

These twelve Jesus sent out and commanded them, saying:“ Do not go into the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter a city of the Samaritans.

These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans:

Jesus sent out these 12 after giving them instructions:“ Don’t take the road leading to other nations, and don’t enter any Samaritan town.

The Samaritan woman therefore said to him,“ How is it that you, being a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?”( For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

You worship that which you don’t know. We worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.But the hour comes, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to be his worshipers.God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.”

He sent them out to preach God’s Kingdom and to heal the sick.

“ He said to me,‘ Depart, for I will send you out far from here to the Gentiles.’”They listened to him until he said that; then they lifted up their voice and said,“ Rid the earth of this fellow, for he isn’t fit to live!”As they cried out, threw off their cloaks, and threw dust into the air,

Saul was consenting to his death. A great persecution arose against the assembly which was in Jerusalem in that day. They were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except for the apostles.

So he came to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son, Joseph.

Jesus therefore said to them again,“ Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

They of the circumcision who believed were amazed, as many as came with Peter, because the gift of the Holy Spirit was also poured out on the Gentiles.For they heard them speaking in other languages and magnifying God. Then Peter answered,“ Can anyone forbid these people from being baptized with water? They have received the Holy Spirit just like us.”He commanded them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay some days.Now the apostles and the brothers who were in Judea heard that the Gentiles had also received the word of God.When Peter had come up to Jerusalem, those who were of the circumcision contended with him,saying,“ You went in to uncircumcised men, and ate with them!”But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,“ I was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a vision: a certain container descending, like it was a great sheet let down from heaven by four corners. It came as far as me.When I had looked intently at it, I considered, and saw the four- footed animals of the earth, wild animals, creeping things, and birds of the sky.I also heard a voice saying to me,‘ Rise, Peter, kill and eat!’But I said,‘ Not so, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered into my mouth.’But a voice answered me the second time out of heaven,‘ What God has cleansed, don’t you call unclean.’This was done three times, and all were drawn up again into heaven.Behold, immediately three men stood before the house where I was, having been sent from Caesarea to me.The Spirit told me to go with them, without discriminating. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we entered into the man’s house.He told us how he had seen the angel standing in his house, and saying to him,‘ Send to Joppa, and get Simon, who is called Peter,who will speak to you words by which you will be saved, you and all your house.’As I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning.I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said,‘ John indeed baptized in water, but you will be baptized in the Holy Spirit.’If then God gave to them the same gift as us, when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God?”When they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying,“ Then God has also granted to the Gentiles repentance to life!”

Now I say that Christ has been made a servant of the circumcision for the truth of God, that he might confirm the promises given to the fathers,and that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written,“ Therefore I will give praise to you among the Gentiles and sing to your name.”

But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you. You will be witnesses to me in Jerusalem, in all Judea and Samaria, and to the uttermost parts of the earth.”

The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon, from Cuthah, from Avva, and from Hamath and Sepharvaim, and placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they possessed Samaria, and lived in its cities.So it was, at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they didn’t fear Yahweh. Therefore Yahweh sent lions among them, which killed some of them.Therefore they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying,“ The nations which you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria don’t know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they kill them, because they don’t know the law of the god of the land.”Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying,“ Carry there one of the priests whom you brought from there; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the law of the god of the land.”So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear Yahweh.However every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.So they feared Yahweh, and also made from among themselves priests of the high places for themselves, who sacrificed for them in the houses of the high places.They feared Yahweh, and also served their own gods, after the ways of the nations from among whom they had been carried away.To this day they do what they did before. They don’t fear Yahweh, and they do not follow the statutes, or the ordinances, or the law, or the commandment which Yahweh commanded the children of Jacob, whom he named Israel;with whom Yahweh had made a covenant, and commanded them, saying,“ You shall not fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor serve them, nor sacrifice to them;but you shall fear Yahweh, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with an outstretched arm, and you shall bow yourselves to him, and you shall sacrifice to him.The statutes and the ordinances, and the law and the commandment, which he wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever more. You shall not fear other gods.You shall not forget the covenant that I have made with you. You shall not fear other gods.But you shall fear Yahweh your God, and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.”However they didn’t listen, but they did what they did before.So these nations feared Yahweh, and also served their engraved images. Their children did likewise, and so did their children’s children. They do as their fathers did to this day.

The Jews therefore said among themselves,“ Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

But a certain Samaritan, as he traveled, came where he was. When he saw him, he was moved with compassion,

Then the Jews answered him,“ Don’t we say well that you are a Samaritan, and have a demon?”

“ The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,

Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you Jews say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.”

and sent messengers before his face. They went and entered into a village of the Samaritans, so as to prepare for him.They didn’t receive him, because he was traveling with his face set toward Jerusalem.When his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said,“ Lord, do you want us to command fire to come down from the sky, and destroy them, just as Elijah did?”

Now after these things, the Lord also appointed seventy others, and sent them two by two ahead of him into every city and place where he was about to come.

From that city many of the Samaritans believed in him because of the word of the woman, who testified,“ He told me everything that I did.”So when the Samaritans came to him, they begged him to stay with them. He stayed there two days.

He fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks; and he was a Samaritan.

and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come.

forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always. But wrath has come on them to the uttermost.

Philip went down to the city of Samaria, and proclaimed to them the Christ.The multitudes listened with one accord to the things that were spoken by Philip when they heard and saw the signs which he did.For unclean spirits came out of many of those who had them. They came out, crying with a loud voice. Many who had been paralyzed and lame were healed.There was great joy in that city.But there was a certain man, Simon by name, who used to practice sorcery in the city and amazed the people of Samaria, making himself out to be some great one,to whom they all listened, from the least to the greatest, saying,“ This man is that great power of God.”They listened to him, because for a long time he had amazed them with his sorceries.But when they believed Philip preaching good news concerning God’s Kingdom and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.Simon himself also believed. Being baptized, he continued with Philip. Seeing signs and great miracles occurring, he was amazed.Now when the apostles who were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent Peter and John to them,who, when they had come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Spirit;for as yet he had fallen on none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of Christ Jesus.Then they laid their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.Now when Simon saw that the Holy Spirit was given through the laying on of the apostles’ hands, he offered them money,saying,“ Give me also this power, that whomever I lay my hands on may receive the Holy Spirit.”But Peter said to him,“ May your silver perish with you, because you thought you could obtain the gift of God with money!You have neither part nor lot in this matter, for your heart isn’t right before God.Repent therefore of this, your wickedness, and ask God if perhaps the thought of your heart may be forgiven you.For I see that you are in the poison of bitterness and in the bondage of iniquity.”Simon answered,“ Pray for me to the Lord, that none of the things which you have spoken happen to me.”They therefore, when they had testified and spoken the word of the Lord, returned to Jerusalem, and preached the Good News to many villages of the Samaritans.
