The Bible describes the commissioning of the apostles in Matthew 10, where Jesus empowers them to preach and heal.

In Matthew 10, Jesus commissions His twelve apostles, giving them authority to heal diseases and cast out demons. He chooses them according to His purpose and sends them specifically to the lost sheep of Israel with a message of the kingdom of heaven. This commissioning highlights the sovereignty of Jesus in selecting and empowering His followers, ensuring that they carry His message with divine authority and purpose. As they go forth, they are to rely on God's provision, revealing a model for ministry that emphasizes dependence on God rather than personal resources.
