Jesus sent His 12 disciples out on a mission without Him, but under His authority (Matthew 10:1-8). What would they say, how would they do and how would they behave? It was important that they understood this was Jesus' mission and not theirs; they were not to follow their own agendas, but His. They were not to advertise themselves, but Him. But the gospel is a dangerous message because many will resist submitting to Jesus. If Christ's enemies wanted to get rid of Him, they would be hostile to His apostles too (John 16:1-4).
