" At the beginning of the two weeks' period during which [[the apostles]] and the [[evangelists]] were to be absent from [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] on their furlough, [[Jesus]] requested [[David Zebedee|David]] to summon his [[parents]] back to their [[home]] and to dispatch [[messengers]] calling to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethsaida Bethsaida] [[ten]] [[devout]] [[women]] who had served in the [[administration]] of the former encampment and the tented [[infirmary]]. These [[women]] had all [[listened]] to the instruction given the young [[evangelists]], but it had never occurred to either themselves or their [[teachers]] that [[Jesus]] would [[dare]] to commission [[women]] to [[teach]] the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]] and minister to the [[sick]].
