What did Jesus say when sending out his Twelve Apostles?

“He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me” (Matthew x, 40; Luke x, 16).

According to John (xiii, 20) these words were uttered not at the beginning of his ministry as stated by Matthew and Luke, but at the Last Supper; regarding which “Supernatural Religion” says: “It is clear that its insertion here is a mistake.”
