2 Jun Mt 9, 35-10, 1. 6-8 Al ver a las multitudes, se compadecía de ellas porque estaban extenuada

Gospel Mt 9:35–10:1, 6-8 At that time, Jesus went throughout all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority over impure spirits and to heal every kind of sickness and disease. He said to them, “Go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. As you go, proclaim this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.”
