149:0.2 Before the departure on this Sunday morning [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] and [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] asked [[Jesus]] to give the final charge to the new [[evangelists]], but [[the Master]] declined, saying that it was not his province to do those things which others could acceptably [[perform]]. After due [[deliberation]] it was decided that [[James Zebedee]] should [[administer]] the charge. At the conclusion of James's remarks [[Jesus]] said to the [[evangelists]]: " Go now forth to do the work as you have been charged, and later on, when you have shown yourselves [[competent]] and [[faithful]], I will [[ordain]] you to [[preach]] the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]].

149:0.3 On this tour only [[James, the Apostle|James]] and [[John, the Apostle|John]] traveled with [[Jesus]]. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] and the other [[apostles]] each took with them about one dozen of the [[evangelists]] and maintained close [[contact]] with them while they carried on their [[work]] of [[preaching]] and [[teaching]]. As fast as [[believers]] were ready to enter [[the kingdom]], [[the apostles]] would [[administer]] [[baptism]]. [[Jesus]] and his two companions traveled extensively during these three months, often [[visiting]] two [[cities]] in one day to [[observe]] the [[work]] of the [[evangelists]] and to [[encourage]] them in their [[efforts]] to [[establish]] [[the kingdom]]. This entire second preaching tour was principally an [[effort]] to afford [[practical]] [[experience]] for this corps of 117 newly [[trained]] [[evangelists]].

This was the clearinghouse for [[Jesus]]' [[work]] on [[earth]] and the relay station for the [[messenger]] service which [[David Zebedee|David]] carried on between the workers in various [[parts]] of [[Palestine]] and adjacent regions. He did all of this on his own [[initiative]] but with the approval of [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]]. [[David Zebedee|David]] employed forty to fifty [[messengers]] in this [[intelligence]] division of the rapidly enlarging and extending [[work]] of [[the kingdom]]. While thus employed, he partially [[supported]] himself by spending some of his time at his old [[work]] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing fishing].
