Matthew 10:1-16<\/a><\/p>\nCompare Mark 3:13-19; 6:7-11; Luke 6:12-16; 9:1-5; 10:3; John 1:42<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
I\u2019m impressed by the fact, noted in Luke 6:12-13, that even Jesus prepared himself for the calling of the Twelve by spending the entire night in prayer atop a mountain. \u00a0Clearly, he took their calling very seriously \u2014 as we also should.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the matter of the apostles cleaning off their feet against those who didn\u2019t accept them: \u00a0At a certain point during my mission in Switzerland, an unusual number of members of the Twelve came through the country. \u00a0But they stayed only briefly. \u00a0They didn\u2019t meet with us and they didn\u2019t meet with the members. \u00a0So why were they coming? \u00a0We never really knew, though I have a slightly informed hunch. \u00a0But the rumor went around the mission \u2014 not seriously, but, in a sense, semi<\/em>-seriously \u2014 that all of the Twelve were eventually going to meet on the shores of either Lake Zurich or Lake Geneva in order to collectively wash their feet off against the Swiss and shut the mission down. \u00a0So unresponsive were the Swiss to the missionaries . . .<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
